    TRUMPF makes glass substrates ready for the next generation of AI chips

    The future of AI chips is increasingly being shaped by packaging // With its HiPIMS product line, TRUMPF is addressing a key challenge facing the semiconductor industry: the reliable coating of highly complex glass substrates for the next generation of high-performance AI processors.

    DITZINGEN, GERMANY / TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 September 2026 – The race for more powerful AI chips is increasingly shifting to packaging. To pack more computing power into a smaller space in the future, industry leaders are therefore investing in new substrate technologies such as glass substrates. These enable more functions to be integrated into a smaller space and allow data to be transmitted faster and more efficiently within the chip. To achieve this, however, manufacturers must drill millions of microscopic holes into the glass and then coat them with conductive material.

    Millions of through-holes must be error-free

    TRUMPF has now developed the first industrial process of its kind that enables the production of such structures with high quality and reproducible results. With its HiPIMS products, the high-tech company is supporting the semiconductor industry in bringing glass substrates for the next generation of high-performance AI processors to series production. “The computing power of modern AI chips is increasing rapidly. As a result, the demand for packaging is also growing. Through-glass vias are considered a promising approach for future generations of chips. However, it is crucial that millions of extremely fine structures can be reliably coated. This is exactly where our HiPIMS technology comes into play,” says Piotr Lach, Head of Next Technology Demands at TRUMPF Elektronik. The challenge: The holes in the glass substrates are both very deep and very narrow. Even a small number of incorrectly coated through-vias can render an entire glass panel unusable.

    For mass production, therefore, reliable processes, consistent results, and a high yield of functional components are crucial. TRUMPF’s technology improves process stability and increases production yield compared to conventional methods. This enables TRUMPF to help chip manufacturers economically transition new packaging concepts for AI applications into series production.

    HiPIMS products precisely direct charged particles into deep structures

    HiPIMS is a particularly high-performance coating process. TRUMPF’s industrially manufactured HiPIMS generators produce a highly ionized plasma with a higher proportion of electrically charged particles than conventional methods. These ions can be precisely controlled using additional electric and magnetic fields and directed into deep, narrow structures. This results in a significantly more uniform coating, even in deep trenches.

    HiPIMS generates significantly higher ionization, leading to a higher density of deposited molecules. “This improves the quality of the coating. The technology helps increase manufacturing yield and lays the foundation for cost-effective mass production of future AI chips,” says Lach.

    A Pioneer in the Industry

    TRUMPF has many years of experience with HiPIMS technologies in industrial production environments. The company launched its first HiPIMS solutions for other application areas many years ago and has continuously refined the technology. Today, this high-tech company has extensive experience gained from real-world manufacturing processes.

    “For our customers, it’s not just about technological performance. What matters most is that processes can be scaled and replicated consistently worldwide. With our industrialization expertise and technological lead, we support leading chip manufacturers in bringing advanced packaging technologies into mass production quickly and reliably,” says Lach.

    TRUMPF covers several key technologies for advanced packaging

    In addition to HiPIMS, TRUMPF offers other technologies for advanced packaging. These include ultrashort-pulse lasers for the production of through-glass vias, as well as plasma power supplies for coating and etching processes in semiconductor manufacturing. Together, these technologies form an important foundation for the production of high-performance chips for artificial intelligence, data centers, and high-performance computers.

    Hong Kong Hosts "ABU Robocon 2026" HKU and CUHK Clinched Two Top Spots for Hong Kong

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 September 2026 – “Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union Robot Contest 2026” (ABU Robocon 2026) was held on August 23 at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium, Hong Kong. The event is jointly organized by Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) and the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP). 16 university teams from 15 countries and regions worldwide compete in the largest university-level robotics competition in the Asia-Pacific region. The contest highlighted Hong Kong’s role as a hub for innovation and a center for nurturing young talent, in support of the Government’s alignment with the National 15th Five-Year Plan. It also fostered regional ties through student collaboration and friendly competition, promoting cultural and human exchange across the Asia-Pacific. After a series of intense battles, the University of Hong Kong’s “Sapientia” team and the Chinese University of Hong Kong’s “Power Builder” team, through steady performance and outstanding skill, successfully claimed the champion and runner-up titles, bringing honor to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong martial artist Samuel Hui, a children’s martial arts troupe, and Chinese percussionists joined robots, which had performed at CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala, to deliver a spectacular showcase of human-robot collaboration.

    Financial Secretary Paul Chan said, “It is a great pleasure to welcome ABU Robocon back to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is Asia’s leading international financial centrer and one of the world’s most active markets for listing and fundraising. We are also moving at full speed to establish ourselves as an international innovation and technology hub, a direction firmly supported by our country in the National 15th Five-Year Plan. Hong Kong’s I&T ecosystem is thriving, bringing together world-class universities, research institutions, start-ups, technology parks, international capital, and a unique connectivity advantage linking the Chinese Mainland and global markets. Complemented by the Greater Bay Area’s vast I&T and advanced manufacturing capabilities, innovations can move swiftly from research and development, design and prototyping, through to testing, production and commercialisation, offering young technology talent and I&T enterprises an exceptionally broad platform on which to grow and succeed.”

    Secretary-General of ABU Ahmed Nadeem mentioned in his speech that, ABU Robocon had inspired thousands of students in the past 25 years and had become one of the region’s most respected educational robotics competitions. More importantly, it had fostered collaboration among broadcasters, educational institutions, industry partners, and students, creating opportunities for learning, friendship, and innovation across borders.

    Chairman of HKSTP Cordelia Chung, also expressed her pride in welcoming the competition back to Hong Kong. She noted that this year’s theme, “Kung Fu Quest”, is a gruelling test of robotic agility, tactical wisdom, and flawless execution under pressure, showcasing the students’ collective brainpower and teamwork. As the city’s largest I&T ecosystem, Hong Kong Science Park now hosts over 2,600 technology companies, with more than 550 of them specialising in AI. She welcomes all global talents to experience the abundant platforms and opportunities offered by the Park. HKSTP will continue to build on its solid 25-year foundation to create greater possibilities for the next generation of innovators to grow and thrive.

    Professor Sun Dong, SITI, delivered in his speech that the robots built by the students showed how technological innovation can bridge culture and modernity, while their passion and teamwork embodied perseverance that defines both martial arts and scientific discovery. The HKSAR Government is enhancing the I&T ecosystem across the full spectrum, from upstream basic research, to midstream and downstream industry development. With innovation hubs like the Hong Kong Science Park, offering comprehensive incubation, mentorship and business-matching support, Hong Kong is an ideal place for global talents to unlock potentials and realise aspirations.

    “ABU Robocon 2026” adopted the theme “Kung Fu Quest,” inspired by the spirit of Chinese martial arts. Each team’s two robots were required to cooperate in forging traditional Chinese weapons, collecting martial arts manuals, and engaging in strategic duels that demonstrated precision and tactics, combining martial arts philosophy with advanced robotics and automation technology. The 16 participating teams came from 15 countries and regions, including: Chinese Mainland, Cambodia, Egypt, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, Mongolia, Macao and Hong Kong. The teams competed for 18 awards, including the Champion, First Runner-up, Second Runner-up, and the ABU Robocon Award. Prior to the award presentation ceremony, the Director of Broadcasting Angelina Kwan, and the Chief Executive Officer of HKSTP Terry Wong, took part in a handover ceremony alongside Indonesia’s representative, Ihwan Susila, marking Indonesia as the host of the next ABU Robocon.

The competition was broadcast live on RTHK TV31 and RTHK’s YouTube channel, while ABU member organisations also relayed or will air the event to audiences across the globe, reaching hundreds of millions, showcasing Hong Kong’s innovation and technology strength to the international community. Beyond the competition, the teams will visit Hong Kong Science Park and local enterprises, as well as explore Hong Kong’s tourist attractions to experience the city’s charm. Nearly 100 young participants will also travel to Qianhai, Shenzhen, to gain firsthand insight into the nation’s achievements in innovation and technology.

    “ABU Robocon”, established in 2002, aims to foster exchange and collaboration among young people in engineering, technology, and innovation. The competition features a unique theme every year, encouraging teams to demonstrate creativity by designing and building robots to complete various challenges. Team Hong Kong has achieved remarkable results in this international competition, clinching the “ABU Robocon” Grand Prix three times (in 2019, 2022 and 2024), with a cumulative record of 3 championships, 5 first runner-ups, and 2 second runner-ups.

  • SCX Corporation Accelerates SC Group’s Recurring-Income Businesses

    SCX Corporation Accelerates SC Group’s Recurring-Income Businesses

    SCX Logistics Reports More Than 240% Revenue Growth in the First Half, Reflecting Demand for Next-Generation Industrial Infrastructure Sets Roadmap to Expand Its Logistics Portfolio Beyond 1,000,000 sq.m. and Further Strengthen Its Presence in Bangna and the EEC

    BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 September 2026 – SCX Corporation, SC Group’s recurring-income business platform, is advancing sustainable growth through the strategic expansion of SCX Logistics. The company has set a roadmap to expand its logistics portfolio to more than 1,000,000 sq.m. by 2029, following strong demand from customers across diverse industries. SCX Logistics reported revenue growth of more than 240% in the first half of 2026, compared with the same period last year.

    Rachod Nantakwang, CEO, SCX
    Rachod Nantakwang, CEO, SCX

    The company also highlights the completion of SCX Logistics Bangna Km.20, an 80,000 sq.m. logistics development that embodies SC’s three promises: Quality, Care, and Responsibility. Combining a strategic location, total cost efficiency, flexibility, and future readiness, SCX Logistics is designed to meet the increasingly complex needs of the industrial sector. The company plans to expand across the strategic Bangna and EEC corridors by a further 200,000 sq.m. by 2027.

    Mr. Rachod Nantakwang, Chief Executive Officer of SCX Corporation Co., Ltd., said that SCX continues to advance SC Group’s recurring-income businesses to build a stronger and more sustainable foundation for long-term growth. SCX Logistics is a key part of this strategy, and the company remains committed to its 2029 roadmap to expand its logistics portfolio from 200,000 sq.m. at the end of 2025 to more than 1,000,000 sq.m. in strategic logistics locations nationwide. The objective is to create greater value for customers while developing infrastructure that genuinely meets business needs.

    Warehouse 1
    Warehouse 1

    “The warehouse market continues to experience strong demand. However, customer requirements today are markedly different from the past. Customers no longer assess warehouses solely on rental rates per square metre. They consider the entire production and logistics ecosystem: locations that reduce transportation time, flexible functionality that can adapt to future change, clean-energy solutions that support business sustainability, and, critically, a warehouse partner that can work alongside them to solve their business challenges.

    Warehouse 2
    Warehouse 2

    We understand these evolving needs. This understanding has earned us the trust of customers across a wide range of industries and contributed to SCX Logistics achieving revenue growth of more than 240% in the first half of 2026, compared with the same period last year,” Mr. Rachod said.

    SCX has consistently upheld SC’s three promises: Quality, Care, and Responsibility. The company also applies SC’s strengths in Design, Function, and Trust to its logistics developments, placing a strong emphasis on understanding each customer’s operations from the outset. This enables SCX Logistics to design spaces around actual business requirements, from building layouts and transportation flows to loading and unloading areas, as well as future energy and technology needs.

    This approach is reflected in SCX Logistics Bangna Km.20, which has recently been completed across the full 80,000 sq.m. development. The project demonstrates SCX’s customer-centric approach to warehouse development, beginning with an understanding of customer requirements rather than a building concept. The project is currently fully occupied, with an occupancy rate of 100%.

    SCX Logistics Bangna Km.20 is located on Bangna-Trad Road at Km.20 in Samut Prakan, on a site of more than 90 rai. It is a strategic location for logistics and transportation, serving warehouses, distribution centres, and industrial facilities across a range of sectors. The development offers both ready-built buildings and built-to-suit solutions tailored to specific customer requirements.

    The project serves international customers from Asia and Europe across industries including logistics, manufacturing, data centres, and digital infrastructure.

    Mr. Rachod added that SCX Logistics’ expansion plans for 2026 and 2027 will focus on strategic locations that play an important role in Thailand’s logistics network. Under the concept “Corridor, Not Just Land,” SCX selects investment locations based on the role each area plays in the supply chain and its ability to connect businesses with regional markets, rather than simply on the size of the land plot.

    The company plans to add approximately 200,000 sq.m. of logistics space across key locations, including Bangna, Laem Chabang, Amata Chonburi, and the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). This expansion is expected to bring SCX Logistics’ total warehouse portfolio to approximately 400,000 sq.m. by the end of 2027.

    “Each location plays a distinct role in supporting our customers’ businesses. Bangna is a key connection between Bangkok, Suvarnabhumi Airport, and the EEC. Laem Chabang is an important gateway for international trade, while Amata and the EEC are among the country’s major manufacturing bases.

    We therefore do not see ourselves simply as a warehouse developer and operator. We aim to be an infrastructure partner that can deliver solutions tailored to the needs of customers across industries, while contributing to the development of Thailand’s infrastructure and supporting investment that drives national economic growth,” Mr. Rachod said.

    SCX Logistics will continue to be a new and recurring source of income for SC Group over the long term. The company expects SCX Logistics’ full-year revenue to grow by approximately 280% from the previous year.

    SCX Corporation operates under the vision “The Prospering Expedition” and the mission “The Way Forward,” with a focus on exploring new business opportunities that generate consistent recurring income over the long term.

    Its portfolio includes SCX Logistics, which operates the warehouse business and has developed five projects totalling more than 200,000 sq.m. in strategic locations; SCX Hospitality, which operates hotels in Bangkok and other key destinations, including KROMO Bangkok, Curio Collection by Hilton, The Standard Pattaya Na Jomtien, and YANH Ratchawat; and SCX Working Solutions, which operates more than 120,000 sq.m. of office space, including Shinawatra Tower 3.

    SCX’s growth is supported by a diverse and capable team, strong strategic partnerships, and a corporate culture that places customers and the environment at the heart of business development.
