FPT Group officially announced the establishment of an advanced semiconductor testing and packaging factory on January 28.
As the first facility of its kind to be owned and operated by a Vietnamese entity, this factory plays a crucial role in completing the national semiconductor ecosystem. It covers the full industrial spectrum—from research, design, and manufacturing to training, testing, packaging, and commercialization—marking a significant milestone in Vietnam's journey toward global supply chain integration.
During its first phase (2026–2027), the facility will be located in the Yen Phong II-C Industrial Park, Bac Ninh Province. Spanning 1,600 sq.m, the plant features six functional test lines equipped with ATE (Automated Test Equipment) testers and handlers. Additionally, it houses a dedicated zone for reliability and durability testing, including specialized Burn-in systems, Reliability Test systems, and Failure Analysis (FA) Test systems.
All equipment and processes strictly adhere to international quality management standards, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and IATF 16949. Furthermore, the facility complies with specialized semiconductor technical standards such as JEDEC, AEC-Q100, and AEC-Q101, ensuring the highest levels of quality, stability, and reliability throughout the entire product lifecycle.
In phase 2 (2028–2030), the factory’s footprint is expected to expand to approximately 6,000 sq.m. During this stage, FPT plans to invest in 18 additional functional testing lines and three new reliability and durability testing areas. The expansion will also see the introduction of traditional packaging lines (such as QFN, QFP, and DFN), Chip Scale Package (CSP) and Wafer Level Package (WLP) lines, as well as advanced IC packaging solutions. These strategic upgrades are projected to scale the factory’s annual production capacity to billions of units.
Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Bui Hoang Phuong emphasized that "Vietnam possesses a strong advantage in human resources, attracting numerous chip design firms to invest and employ local engineers, which in turn creates a foundation for the rise of domestic design companies. In the global supply chain, Vietnam is playing an increasingly vital role in the packaging and testing stages; however, these operations remain largely foreign-owned."
"FPT’s investment in this advanced testing and packaging factory demonstrates a commitment through a concrete project, contributing to the realization of the ambition to bring Vietnamese intelligence to the world and establish a more prominent footprint for Vietnam on the global semiconductor map,” said Mr. Phuong.
Mr. Truong Gia Binh, Chairman of FPT Corporation, stated: "To make the country prosperous, there is no other way than mastering chip technology." The Advanced Semiconductor Chip Testing and Packaging Plant by FPT is expected to become a leading testing and packaging unit in the region. In phase 1 (2026–2027), the plant is located in Yen Phong II-C Industrial Park, Bac Ninh province, with an area of 1,600 m2, featuring 6 functional testing lines (ATE tester & handler) and an area with multiple specialized reliability and durability testing systems (Burn-in system, Reliability Test system, Failure Analysis Test system).
FPT chairman, Truong Gia Binh, asserted: “To become a wealthy and powerful nation, there is no other path than mastering chip technology.”
According to Mr. Binh, when considering the Vietnamese diaspora globally, Vietnam possesses a significant competitive advantage in the semiconductor industry.
“Our greatest challenge is to connect these resources and build our own ecosystem. With today’s event, we have taken a major step toward closing the loop of Vietnam's semiconductor ecosystem,” he said.
“We will collaborate closely with Viettel and other domestic partners: wherever production happens, FPT will provide the packaging and testing services, ensuring that Vietnamese-engineered chips can soon be integrated into daily life,” Mr. Binh said.
