TRUMPF Electronics, one of world’s leading plasma power suppliers for the semiconductor sector, marked its entry into the Southeast Asian market with a debut at SEMICON SEA 2025, alongside its new regional technical center in Malaysia.
The newly opened technology center is located in Kota Damansara, 17 kilometers from the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur. It is outfitted with cutting-edge infrastructure, purpose-built to streamline production processes and uphold the highest standards in manufacturing excellence. TRUMPF Electronics’ solutions are widely adopted across cutting-edge technologies and key sectors, including the semiconductor, solar, display, and industrial coating industries. The new technical center aims to provide dedicated maintenance and repair services for international equipment manufacturers, while onsite product fitting and professional training are available. The facility will also serve to develop high-tech skills for the Malaysian workforce, with TRUMPF Electronics making a long-term commitment to local talent for the next generation of semiconductor advancements.
TRUMPF Electronics offers sophisticated plasma solutions for the semiconductor ecosystem. With over a century of expertise, TRUMPF Electronics delivers advanced radio-frequency generators and matching systems that ensure precise, stable plasma needed for the high-tech manufacturing of components like microchips and solar panels. Plasma power supplies operate with an efficiency of up to 80% and use about half the energy of older generators. They are also highly reliable, enabling manufacturers to produce high-tech goods more sustainably, with reduced energy costs and minimal disruptions.
These systems stand out in both performance and reliability – they automatically adjust in real time to keep the plasma process running optimally, ensuring the output remains stable. These technologies are integral to semiconductor manufacturing processes like plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), etching, and ion implantation, delivering exceptional precision, quality, and productivity with wafer fabrication.
TRUMPF Electronics showcased the TruPlasma RF generator and TruPlasma Match series at the recent SEMICON SEA 2025 in Singapore, alongside other advanced technologies and solutions for the semiconductor ecosystem. Visitors explored the ways in which TRUMPF’s innovations are powering next-gen applications and helping to drive the industry forward in this dynamic region.
“Southeast Asia has emerged as a key hub for the semiconductor industry, driven by its rapidly expanding digital economy and the resulting demand for advanced chips. The new technical center in Malaysia represents a pivotal milestone in our commitment to bolster the region’s dynamic semiconductor industry. By investing in local infrastructure, we are dedicated to delivering innovative solutions that empower our customers and propel the region’s growth,” said Dariusz Czaja, Managing Director of TRUMPF Electronics Asia.
TRUMPF Electronics continues to expand its presence across Asia, with technical centers in Japan and Malaysia, the latter of which maintains service availability for requests from other countries in the region like Vietnam and Thailand.
