AUSTIN (KXAN) — A facility in Round Rock that provides precision cleaning and coatings for semiconductor wafer manufacturing tools received a $2 million grant Friday.
According to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, the funds were the fourth grant provided by the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund (TSIF), and it was given to KoMiCo Technology, Inc. (KoMiCo).
“KoMiCo is profoundly grateful to the State of Texas for their generous grant supporting the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain,” said KoMiCo USA CEO Sung Soo Jang. “This investment not only reinforces our industry but also strengthens the technological fabric of our nation. With Texas’ unwavering support, we are poised to drive innovation, create jobs, and build a brighter future.”
The governor’s office said the company would create 70 new jobs and provide $36 million in capital investment by expanding its production lines and its Round Rock facility by more than 40,000 square feet to increase its clean room capacity.
“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,” Abbott said.
