The VeroTherm Formic Acid Reflow, the first semiconductor tool made in India, has been supplied from Yield Engineering Systems’ (YES) Coimbatore factory to a major international semiconductor manufacturer. YES is a global leader in materials and interface engineering equipment. Being the first sophisticated semiconductor instrument made in India for uses like High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), which is essential for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High-Performance Computing (HPC), this is a noteworthy milestone.
Three years ago, YES started operations in Coimbatore. In September 2024, it opened its cutting-edge production facility in Sulur. The company intends to invest more than ₹500 crore in India over the next five years to develop its plant and ship 15 to 20 such instruments worldwide in 2025. The Coimbatore facility creates cutting-edge wafer and panel packaging solutions for the AI, HPC, and life sciences sectors.
Three years ago, Yield Engineering Systems (YES), led by Dr. Ankineedu Velaga, began operations in India, setting up shop in Bangalore and Coimbatore. Last September, the company opened its manufacturing unit in Coimbatore, and it currently has plans to expand even further. YES is to invest over ₹500 crore in India over the next five years, demonstrating its dedication to expanding the country’s advanced packaging and semiconductor industries.
The new Coimbatore facility is intended to satisfy the increasing demand for YES’s products, which include sophisticated wafer and panel-level packaging applications like as VertaCureTM, VerothermTM, and VeroFlexTM systems.
In 2025, the business will export 15–20 of these instruments from Coimbatore to customers throughout the world.
T.R.B. Rajaa, the Minister of Industries for Tamil Nadu, emphasised this accomplishment as part of the state’s goal to become a global centre for semiconductors. A ₹500-crore Semiconductor Mission to build manufacturing parks in Sulur and Palladam is part of the Tamil Nadu Budget 2025. MeitY Secretary S. Krishnan stressed that this achievement is in line with India’s goal of creating a strong semiconductor ecosystem.
