Silterra Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. is a Malaysian semiconductor manufacturer founded in November 1995. [1] [5] Silterra Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. was formerly known as Wafer Technology (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. and changed its name to Silterra Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. in December 1999. [6] The company was founded in 1995 and is based in Kulim, Malaysia, with sales and marketing offices in San Jose, California; and Hsinchu, Taiwan.
History
Silterra is started as a project of strategic national interest to promote front-end semiconductor manufacturing, moving upwards from already well-established back-end semiconductor manufacturing in Malaysia. Silterra was planned in 1995 and officially commenced operations in 2001. It was initially equipped with three cleanrooms. [7]
The company was owned by Khazanah Nasional. [4] [8]
In 2016, the Malaysian government authorised Khazanah to sell its Silterra stake to foreign investors. [9] In July 2021, Dagang NeXchange Bhd (DNeX), a Malaysian investment holding company, [10] acquired 60% of Silterra stake for RM 273 million, partnering with CGP Fund (Beijing Integrated Circuit Advanced Manufacturing and High-End Equipment Equity Investment Fund Center); where the latter acquired the remaining 40% stake with RM 109.2 million.
