LG unveiled the Dream Factory, a hub for the production of FC-BGAs (Flip Chip Ball Grid Arrays), the company’s next-generation growth engine, to the media for the first time and announced it on the 30th April.
In 2022, LG Innotek announced its plans to launch a business producing FC-BGAs, high-value semiconductor substrates. To build the Dream Factory, the company acquired LG Electronics’ Gumi 4 Factory and began full-scale mass production in February 2024.
The Dream Factory, spanning a total area of 26,000 square meters, is regarded as the industry’s most advanced “smart” factory, integrating the latest IT technologies, including artificial intelligence, deep learning, robotics, and digital twin technologies. By applying automation, information, and intelligence technologies to the entire process, it has established a cutting-edge FC-BGA production infrastructure that eliminates the four major factors known to undermine production competitiveness: human error (Man), failure cost(F-cost), breakdown maintenance (BM) loss, and accidents.
