It is reported that the project will invest 100 million yuan, and plans to build precious metal material research and development and precious metal precision material testing laboratories, as well as a production line with an annual output of 1.2 million kilometers of packaging bonding wire for integrated circuits and a production line with an annual output of 300 tons of magnetron sputtering targets.
According to the information from the Hefei High-tech Industrial Development Zone Management Committee, Sigma was established in 2010. In 2018, the company headquarters settled in Hefei High-tech Zone, and established sales bases in Kunshan, Shenzhen and Taipei. Its products include gold wire and silver wire. , copper wire and alloy wire, mainly used in integrated circuits, optoelectronic components, sensing components and LED packaging.
You have many high school or technical trade school guys doing grunt work. Just look at TSMC hiring:
Manufacturing technician: high school or GED. Watch a screen.
Equipment technician: associates or military experience. These are the MVPs in a fab and who keep things working. Note that you need engineers for equipment at an actual equipment company but associates can be trained at the fab since they mostly need to follow orders.
Chemical technician: need high school only, has the longest list of requirements.

High school is the 12th bullet point. It is required.
There were too many bullet points, I guess it wasn't that prominent.
So does a fab contains many process that can't be automated so that you need to hire high school grads to operate things? Also I shared a claim that working in fabs is quite hazardful with injuries from gas, laser, etc can happen. Is that true?
Yes, there are parts that need a human on board. There's a subfab, for instance, that supplies chemicals and gas to the main fab production area. There you have lower educated, more practical workers doing industrial plumbing, chemical packaging, assisting with equipment troubleshooting and setup, etc.
Definitely some potential for danger from gas. Lasers should be contained.
Heard that if you work long enough with KrF laser your eyes will see spark anywhere.
Damn lol I always thought that those were pretty safe. I only heard about the sparks in eyes thing about astronaut.
