SINGAPORE – Chip technology firm Applied Angstrom Technology (AAT) launched on March 18 a research and development facility with the ability to design, test and produce next-generation semiconductor manufacturing equipment.  Dr Richard Yang, AAT’s founder and chief executive, told The Straits Times that the facility will target major semiconductor players based in Singapore, such as Micron and GlobalFoundries. AAT specialises in manufacturing at an atomic level of precision – an advanced technology enabling the production of more powerful graphics processing units, solid state drives and high-bandwidth memory chips. Most chip manufacturers currently produce semiconductors at a lower nano-level of precision, with Taiwan’s TSMC starting mass production of its “most advanced” 2-nanometre chips in the fourth quarter of 2025. Dr Yang said: “We are building the equipment to enable chipmakers. They will be able to make chips needed for AI data centres. If you think about a data centre, you need to pack more transistors into a limited space, so you need to have the precision.”   https://www.straitstimes.com/business/new-rd-facility-to-build-next-generation-equipment-targeting-singapore-based-chip-giants?ref=top-stories (ICE SINGAPORE)
