Kau and Scientech invest in reclaimed wafer services firmBy Lisa Wang / Staff reporterFormer Nanya Technology Corp (南亞科技) president Charles Kau (高啟全) has teamed up with Taiwanese semiconductor equipment maker Scientech Corp (辛耘) to invest in LVG Semiconductor (Huangshi) Co Ltd (祿億半導體) in China to provide wafer reclamation services there. Former Nanya Technology Corp president Charles Kau is pictured in Taipei yesterday. “Market demand is very strong in China, but there is a lack of reclaimed wafer suppliers there,” Kau said. It is more cost-effective to provide reclaimed wafers from Chinese factories rather than importing them from Taiwan, as the logistics would add US$6 to the overall cost of every reclaimed wafer, he said. Scientech is a supplier of reclaimed wafers and semiconductor equipment with annual revenue of NT$3.95 billion (US$136.4 million) last year.
