The first commercial VeroTherm Formic Acid Reflow tool has been shipped from Yield Engineering Systems’ (YES) Sulur, Coimbatore, manufacturing facility to a major international semiconductor manufacturer.
This accomplishment marks a pivotal point for YES and the developing Indian semiconductor industry since it is the first Indian-made equipment for cutting-edge semiconductor applications like High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), which is essential for AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications globally.
At this modern manufacturing facility in Sulur, Coimbatore, India, which is situated at 96/3 Vadakku Sambala Thottam, Trichy Road, Kannampalayam, Sulur Taluk, YES started operations in September 2024. This facility is essential to YES’s strategic expansion plan, which aims to more efficiently serve its global customers’ activities in India and around the world.
With more than 40 years of expertise, YES has built a solid reputation for producing high-quality processing equipment for the life sciences, semiconductor, and display industries.
With its state-of-the-art equipment, the new facility is intended to satisfy the increasing demand for YES’s innovative solutions, such as the VertaCure, Verotherm, and VeroFlex systems for sophisticated wafer and panel-level packaging applications. As part of its mission to strengthen India’s manufacturing capacity, YES plans to develop a strong local supply chain, which will generate a large number of job opportunities in the area.
Leadership Comments
“The commencement of shipments from the YES manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu marks a remarkable advancement for India’s semiconductor industry. This initiative aligns perfectly with our national vision of building a self-reliant and robust semiconductor ecosystem. We are committed to providing all necessary support to foster further growth and innovation in this sector, thereby bolstering India’s position in the global semiconductor market,” said S. Krishnan, Secretary MEITy.
“We are immensely happy that the first semiconductor equipment from the YES Sulur facility has been successfully shipped. This is yet another success of Honourable Chief Minister Thiru, MK Stalin’s US trip last year, and the Tamil Nadu Semiconductor and Advanced Electronics Policy. This government delivers not just with investment commitments and policies, but with grounding investments and converting them into jobs. Despite global and national challenges, Tamil Nadu remains steadfast in its mission to be a global semiconductor hub, and that’s why in the TN Budget 2025 the state has announced semiconductor manufacturing parks in Sulur and Palladam under a new ?500-crore Semiconductor Mission,” added T.R.B. Rajaa, Minister for Industries, Tamil Nadu.
“This milestone of the first shipment from the Sulur facility underscores our unwavering commitment to strengthening the India semiconductor ecosystem, which will enable the efficient delivery of our products to customers in India and beyond,” stated Ramakanth Alapati, Chairman and CEO of YES. “This facility is fully integrated with our global manufacturing network, allowing us to consistently provide the reliability and technical expertise that our customers expect.”
