South Asia semiconductor limited seeking for loan and funding.
1. Executive Summary South Asia Semiconductor Limited (SAS), founded by Toor Khan, is an early-stage startup based in Pakistan with the mission to establish the country's first full-scale semiconductor chip fabrication facility. Our vision is to make Pakistan a self-reliant player in the global semiconductor supply chain, starting with power devices, MEMS, and discrete components. We are seeking initial funding support in the form of concessional loans, government-backed financing, or development bank support to build the first phase of our fabrication facility.
2. Company Overview
- Name: South Asia Semiconductor Limited (SAS)
- Founder & CEO: Toor Khan
- Website: www.sasemicon.com
- Stage: Pre-revenue, infrastructure development stage
- Headquarters: Pakistan
SAS aims to build a 300mm (12-inch) wafer fab, leveraging DUV immersion lithography and focusing initially on MEMS, IGBTs, and discrete power devices. Long-term goals include entering DRAM and mobile SoC production.
3. Project Description The project involves setting up a modern semiconductor fabrication plant equipped with ASML TWINSCAN DUV systems and a cleanroom for 300mm wafer processing. The facility will:
- Produce MEMS sensors, discrete power components, and IGBTs
- Provide chip prototyping services for academia and industry
- Enable technology transfer partnerships with global equipment vendors
4. Market Opportunity Pakistan imports billions worth of electronic components annually. The global chip shortage and increasing demand for localized supply chains present an opportunity for Pakistan to enter semiconductor manufacturing. Target markets include:
- Local and regional electronics manufacturers
- Automotive and industrial control systems
- Power management ICs and smart grids
5. Funding Requirements & Use of Funds We are seeking an initial loan/investment of $80 million for the following:
- Land acquisition and facility development: $3M
- Equipment (used/refurbished DUV lithography, deposition, metrology tools): $75M
- Staffing, licensing, and operations for 18 months: $2M
6. Loan Repayment Strategy Our revenue model includes:
- Contract manufacturing for local clients
- Exporting to South Asia, Middle East, and Africa
- Government and defense electronics partnerships
Based on projected cash flow, we expect to reach breakeven in 3–5 years. Repayment will begin after 24 months with structured tranches over 5 years.
7. Collateral or Government Support We are actively engaging with Pakistan's Board of Investment and Ministry of IT to designate SAS as a Strategic National Technology Project. We are open to providing equity, partial collateral (land or machinery), and bringing in corporate co-guarantors.
8. Conclusion & Call to Action We invite Pakistan-based banks, DFIs, international development banks, and venture partners to support this nation-building initiative. A modern semiconductor ecosystem in Pakistan will not only enhance economic sovereignty but also generate high-tech employment, drive exports, and spark innovation across industries.
