ASM Korea Dongtan Plant Construction Project was for ASM, a global semiconductor production equipment maker, to establish an R&D center and a manufacturing plant in Dongtan of Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do.
Established in 1968, ASM is a Dutch company producing and supplying equipment used in the semiconductor manufacturing process. For the exposure equipment, in particular, ASM has secured high technological power with a global market share of over 85%. With the completion of Dongtan Plant, ASM Korea became the only global semiconductor equipment maker to have established the R&D, production, and service functions in Korea.
Accordingly, it has strengthened its influence in the semiconductor industry. POSCO E&C has won recognition on its clean room construction-related technological power by satisfying the needs of global clients, such as ASM, with upgraded quality. Based on the achievement, we won a contract to build the Yongin R&D Center of Lam Research, the world’s No. 1 etching equipment maker, in 2020. As such, global semiconductor equipment makers are opting for POSCO E&C.
