S&S Tech Completes "Yongin EUV-dedicated Center"

Blank mask specialist company S&S Tech announced on October 15 that it held a completion ceremony for its "EUV-dedicated Center" located in the semiconductor cluster in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.

Construction began in July 2021, and S&S Tech invested approximately 100 billion won in its EUV business for the center, which has a total floor area of 10,809 square meters and consists of one basement level and five above-ground floors.

S&S Tech plans to expand the stable production and customized supply of EUV blank masks and pellicles. The company aims to organically connect research and development (R&D) with mass production in order to internalize technology and strengthen its global competitiveness.

Securing a base in Yongin is expected to shorten the distance to client companies, thereby increasing supply stability and cooperation efficiency, while also contributing to the acquisition of new customers.

The company explained that it has secured superior competitiveness compared to foreign products through joint development and verification with client companies.

S&S Tech has already relocated and is operating its mass production facilities for EUV blank masks and pellicles, which were previously located at its Daegu plant.

With the completion of the Yongin center, S&S Tech has now established a dedicated EUV production infrastructure, and the localization of EUV products-previously monopolized by Japanese companies-is expected to have an import substitution effect.

Once full-scale supply begins, S&S Tech plans to gradually expand its stable supply capacity by leveraging its secured technological capabilities to further expand its EUV production lines and build advanced mass production facilities.

Jung Suhong, CEO of S&S Tech, stated, "The Yongin EUV Center is a symbolic space that simultaneously realizes national semiconductor competitiveness and contributions to the local community," adding, "We will continue to lead future growth through responsible investment and innovation."
