President of E&R, Mr. Eric Chang stated, "The completion of the Nantong factory not only provides us with a production base but also embodies our capabilities in technology research and development and innovation. We will establish a dedicated semiconductor plasma cutting production line here, specializing in RFID (radio frequency identification) technology, aiming to contribute to the advancement of semiconductor advanced packaging technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and smart labels."

CEO of Jiangsu E&R, Harry Huang remarked, "From nothing to something, we have established this iconic new factory in the midst of grasslands, hoping to inject new vitality into the economic and industrial development of the development zone. We will continue to strengthen cooperation with governments at all levels and partners to jointly promote the healthy development of the industry chain and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."

(Executive Vice Chairman of  E&R, Mr. KS Chen led the guests on a tour of the Nantong factory.)

E&R's new factory in Nantong will also provide comprehensive one-stop plasma cutting services from wafers to chips, with an initial production capacity expected to reach 2,500 wafers per month. By 2025, after the completion of the entire production base construction, capacity is expected to increase significantly. E&R has been specializing in plasma cutting technology for several years, achieving chip cutting sizes smaller than 0.5 x 0.5 millimeters with cutting precision controlled between 10 to 30 microns, improving process yield compared to traditional wheel blade cutting.

After 30 years of dedication to the semiconductor industry, E&R has become an important player in the global artificial intelligence (AI) wave. Their advanced laser and plasma technologies are not only adopted by leading global IDMs but also closely cooperate with global packaging and foundry giants. Additionally, E&R has introduced numerous process technologies on new-generation glass substrates, establishing a leading position in TGV (Through Glass Via) equipment processes.In addition to focusing on research and development, E&R  also adheres to the concept of green development, promoting energy conservation, emissions reduction, and environmental protection, fulfilling its commitment to sustainable operations.
