On April 30, CT Semiconductor officially broke ground on Phase 2 of its ATP semiconductor chip manufacturing plant at the CT Group High-Tech Development Center in Thuan An, Binh Duong.
The event took place as part of the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of national reunification, and it signifies a major milestone: for the first time, Vietnamese professionals have mastered semiconductor technology.
With an investment of nearly USD 100 million for Phase 2, the plant is being built on a 3-hectare site at the CT Group High-Tech Development Center in Thuan An, Binh Duong. The factory is expected to begin operations in Q4 2025 and reach a capacity of 100 million chips per year by 2027.
The most notable highlight of the project is that the core technology is developed and controlled by a team of Vietnamese experts. This marks the first time a 100% Vietnamese-owned OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) plant is able to carry out the entire technological process independently, without relying on foreign partners.

Mr. Azmi Bin Wan Hussin Wan – Chief Operating Officer of CT Semiconductor – emphasized: “By September 2025, the first chip fully assembled, packaged, and tested in Vietnam will be produced from this production line. It will be a truly 'Made by Vietnam' product, showcasing the intelligence and boundless potential of the Vietnamese people.”
Beyond manufacturing, the plant will also serve as a hub connecting high-tech projects within CT Group’s ecosystem, such as UAVs, AI, electric trains, and new energy technologies. Additionally, the factory allocates over 10% of its budget to research and development (R&D), focusing on emerging technologies like GaN, photonics, advanced packaging, and chip design for applications in AI, 6G, and unmanned aerial vehicles.
According to CT Group, the ATP plant is not just an industrial facility, but a symbol of Vietnam’s aspiration to rise in the global semiconductor value chain.
