Building Pakistan’s First Semiconductor Legacy Chip Fab and Training Hub
South Asia Semiconductor Limited (Sasemicon) is an early-stage private limited company with a bold vision: to give Pakistan the capability to produce semiconductor chips and train the next generation of engineers who will shape the region’s future in advanced technology.
Why Semiconductors Matter
Semiconductors are at the heart of modern life. From smartphones and laptops to cars, medical equipment, and defense systems—every country depends on them. Yet Pakistan, despite its large population and growing demand for electronics, has no domestic semiconductor manufacturing capability. This gap leaves us fully dependent on imports and vulnerable to global supply chain shocks.
Our Vision
Sasemicon’s roadmap begins with discrete semiconductor devices and legacy chips—technologies that are proven, commercially viable, and essential to countless industries. By focusing on mature process nodes (90nm down to 28nm), we are positioning Pakistan to catch up in a realistic and sustainable way, while also building a foundation for future advanced nodes.
The Pilot Fab
Our pilot fabrication facility will be located in Islamabad Technology Zone. This fab will produce discrete transistors and power devices, creating immediate commercial value while training our workforce in practical semiconductor manufacturing. The design is efficient: the fab, training centre, housing for staff, and student hostels will all be integrated into a single facility, reducing costs and optimizing operations.
Training the Next Generation
We believe technology is only as strong as the people who drive it. Alongside our fab, Sasemicon will establish a hands-on training centre for both local and international students. Students will gain practical experience in semiconductor fabrication, chip design, and testing—skills rarely accessible in South Asia today.
Interest has already begun. Students from countries like Bangladesh have expressed their desire to join our training once the pilot project is launched. We see this as the start of building a regional talent hub for South Asia and beyond.
Global Support and Partnerships
Our project has attracted early attention from international professionals and advisors—from experts in lithography research in Europe, to procurement specialists for US and European semiconductor equipment, to experienced workforce developers in Taiwan. Their support demonstrates that Sasemicon’s vision is both achievable and timely.
Call for Investors and Partners
To make this vision a reality, Sasemicon is actively seeking investors, development finance institutions, and government partners who understand the importance of building semiconductor capability in Pakistan. With an initial funding requirement, we will deliver both economic returns and long-term strategic value for the region.
Our Commitment
We are not waiting for the world to bring technology to us—we are building it ourselves. Step by step, with persistence and partnerships, Sasemicon is laying the foundation for Pakistan’s entry into the global semiconductor industry.
Join us in shaping the future of Pakistan’s chip technology.
