Texas – Governor Greg Abbott announced that KoMiCo Technology, Inc. has received the fourth $2 million grant from the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF).
This funding will support KoMiCo’s expansion of its facility in Round Rock, where precision cleaning and coatings are provided for semiconductor wafer manufacturing tools. The expansion is expected to generate 70 new jobs and a capital investment of $36 million.
“Texas is leading the American resurgence in semiconductor manufacturing and making strategic investments to secure critical domestic supply chains,” Governor Abbott said. “KoMiCo’s $36 million investment to expand their clean room capacity and production lines in Round Rock supports increased chip production right here in Texas.
Thanks to industry leaders like KoMiCo growing their presence in our great state, we will continue to lead the nation in innovation and job creation as we build a stronger, more prosperous Texas than ever before.”
KoMiCo, a subsidiary of KoMiCo Ltd., specializes in parts cleaning and coating services and sells equipment parts to customers in the semiconductor industry.
The expansion will increase their Round Rock facility by over 40,000 square feet, enhancing clean room capacity and expanding production lines for contamination removal and coating application essential to wafer manufacturing tools.
Contamination removal is a critical step in semiconductor manufacturing, as even microscopic contaminants can cause defects in wafer microstructures.
