The facility spans 1,600 square metres and is equipped with Automated Test Equipment (ATE) systems, as well as chip handling and sorting machinery.

The testing area is housed within a Class 10,000 (ISO Class 7) cleanroom, designed under the international ISO 14644 standard to strictly control air purity and environmental conditions, fulfilling the requirements for semiconductor production and testing.

A specialised Reliability Laboratory is also in place to conduct tests such as HTOL (High-Temperature Operating Life), LTOL (Low-Temperature Operating Life), Temperature Cycling, HAST (Highly Accelerated Stress Test), and Reflow to evaluate the quality, durability, and dependability of semiconductor products.

FPT is developing capabilities in semiconductor testing technology, including independently creating and customising test programmes for Automated Test Equipment (ATE) systems based on the technical specifications of individual chip series, covering everything from defining test conditions, measurement parameters, and evaluation limits to collecting and analysing test results.

The facility brings together a team of highly qualified experts and engineers with extensive practical experience in the semiconductor industry.

Concurrently, the plant is actively recruiting seasoned specialists and expanding partnerships with universities.

The facility expects to fulfil its first order for a major partner from the Republic of Korea during the trial phase.

Furthermore, the plant is collaborating with FPT Polytechnic to deliver a hands-on training programme using live production lines. Scheduled to launch as a pilot in December 2026, the programme will feature direct instruction from engineers, helping bridge the gap between theory and practice while developing a high-quality semiconductor workforce for Viet Nam.

At the same time, FPT is prioritising establishing a training and competency assessment system aligned with international standards: ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO/IEC 17025 for testing laboratory proficiency. This is complemented by instruction in Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) control (per IEC 61340-5-1) and occupational health and safety (per ISO 45001).
