AT&S, Europe’s biggest printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturer, has invested US$447 million to build a plant in Chongqing as the firm expands into the booming semiconductor sector, the company said yesterday.
The Chongqing integrated circuit (IC) substrates plant marks the company’s “strategic focus” on this business segment, said the Austria-based firm. The 125,000-square-meter substrates plant will start production in 2016.
IC substrates is a component connecting PCBs and chips during the manufacturing of semiconductors. They are used in consumer electronics and industrial devices.
