FPT begins trial runs at Bac Ninh semiconductor plant
The Vietnamese facility has six production lines, with annual design capacity capped at 300 million chips, the company said.
FPT Corporation has started trial runs at its semiconductor testing and packaging plant in Vietnam’s Bac Ninh Province, the company said. Its initial work will assess chip functionality, quality and reliability for customers in Vietnam and abroad.
The plant occupies 1,600 square metres within Yen Phong II-C Industrial Park. FPT expects a South Korean partner to provide the facility’s first chip-testing order.
According to FPT, automated testers check chip performance, while handling equipment places components into position and sorts them after testing. These operations take place inside a cleanroom rated Class 10,000, or ISO Class 7. Reliability assessments expose chips to high temperatures, temperature fluctuations, and heat combined with humidity.
Engineers develop testing programmes for individual chip types. FPT said it is also developing an AI-powered platform intended to automate parts of that work, including standardising technical requirements, designing test configurations and evaluating results.
The operating team includes specialists with experience at Intel’s Vietnam plant. Their duties include setting technical procedures, running equipment and training staff.
FPT plans a pilot programme with FPT Polytechnic College under which students would gain practical experience on the testing lines from December 2026. The company also intends to broaden its advanced testing capabilities and develop packaging technologies.
