Tokyo Electron Completes Construction of New Development Building in Miyagi

Tokyo Electron (TEL; Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Toshiki Kawai) announced that its development and manufacturing subsidiary, Tokyo Electron Miyagi (Taiwa-cho, Miyagi) has completed its new development building (Development Building No. 3). The completion ceremony was held earlier today.

As the transition to a digital society accelerates, the demand for semiconductors is expected to grow significantly. With the increasing complexity and diversity of semiconductors, along with finer line widths of chips, patterning technologies^* critical to semiconductor innovation continue to evolve, and the market for etch systems developed and manufactured by Tokyo Electron Miyagi is expected to expand immensely.

The new development building is designed to prioritize safety, quality, and environmental considerations, while enabling sophisticated and efficient development operations through advanced digital technologies. Enhancing the timely delivery of the high value-added, high quality products that customers need, TEL will contribute to the sustainable medium- to long-term corporate growth and the progress of society.

In keeping with the motto of Best Products and Best Technical Service, TEL will work with our customers to pursue semiconductor technology innovations that are essential to achieving both digitalization and decarbonization.

TEL is the only semiconductor production equipment manufacturer in the world to offer system solutions for all four sequential patterning processes: deposition, coating/development, etch, and cleaning.
