Semiconductor startup Silicon Box to create up to 1,200 jobs with manufacturing facility
SINGAPORE-BASED semiconductor startup Silicon Box will hire up to 1,200 workers in the next two years in areas such as computer science, engineering and design with support from the Economic Development Board (EDB), the company said on Thursday (Jul 20).
At the launch of its 73,000-square-metre semiconductor manufacturing facility at Tampines, the company’s co-founder and chief executive, Han Byung Joon, said that the company aims to solve unique challenges around chiplet adoption in advanced semiconductor chips.
Chiplets combine multiple smaller chips within a single package, and have been increasingly adopted by companies such as Apple and chipmaker AMD because they afford greater flexibility, performance and efficiency than traditional chip designs.
