KoMiCo signed a purchase agreement to develop a new facility for advanced semiconductor equipment parts cleaning, coating, and repair in Arizona.
Located in the Superstition Springs area of southeast Mesa, the facility is expected to be operational by 2026 and create over 200 new jobs. It will apply anodizing, thermal spray coatings, aerosol depositions, and physical vapor depositions.
Fueled by major regional expansions from giants like Intel and TSMC, this facility will include multiple cleanrooms, a wide range of cutting-edge equipment, and a robust suite of diagnostic tools. Representing an over $50 million capital investment, the Mesa facility will mark KoMiCo’s third location in the U.S. and eighth location globally. The 12.5-acre site and 125,000-square-foot building will be KoMiCo’s largest site in the U.S.
“KoMiCo is proud to partner with the City of Mesa in further establishing the Silicon Desert as the most technologically advanced semiconductor manufacturing region in the United States,” says Shawn Jang, CEO of KoMiCo U.S., who adds the facility will be outfitted to provide services to current fabs and the fabs of the future, including EUV and <1nm tech nodes.
With sites in South Korea, Singapore, China, Taiwan, and the U.S., KoMiCo is a strategic supplier to all of its customers, including the largest fab clusters in the world. The company excels in providing critical cleaning and coating services.
“KoMiCo's new facility adds to Arizona’s dynamic semiconductor ecosystem and further emphasizes our state’s global significance for this critical industry,” says Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “We are proud to welcome another world-renowned semiconductor supplier and are grateful to KoMiCo for its commitment to Arizona.”
KoMiCo is a subsidiary of the MiCo group, which also includes MiCo Ceramics, MiCo Power, MiCo BioMed, and MiCo Ltd. MiCo Ltd. supports the semiconductor industry with raw material development, including special powders used in the coating process. In addition, MiCo Ceramics specializes in manufacturing ceramic heaters and electrostatic chucks (ESCs).
