京元电子子公司AeternZ拟13亿美元在沃斯堡建测试厂：630个岗位、英伟达11亿美元预付款预订产能
德克萨斯州塔兰特县沃斯堡市消息：沃斯堡市议会10月27日审议一项为期 10 年、总额 5,000 万美元的减税方案，支持台湾京元电子（King Yuan Electronics, KYEC）子公司 AeternZ Semiconductor 在沃斯堡新建半导体测试厂，选址为 273 W. Everman Parkway。
项目总投资 13 亿美元，其中不动产改良 10 亿美元、商业个人财产 3 亿美元；预计创造 630 个岗位，平均年薪 8 万美元。AeternZ 承诺不动产改良支出的 30% 交由本地企业承建。减税获批是该公司在北德州与外州其他选址之间作抉择的关键因素之一。
产能方面，英伟达（NVIDIA）近日宣布与京元电子达成协议，提供 11 亿美元预付款，预订 AeternZ 在美国新建的测试产能，未来测试服务费将逐步抵扣该预付款。京元电子此前批准的美国投资上限为 14 亿美元，与本项目的 13 亿美元为两个不同口径。

KYEC Subsidiary AeternZ Plans $1.3 Billion Fort Worth Testing Plant: 630 Jobs, Backed by NVIDIA's $1.1 Billion Capacity Prepayment
FORT WORTH, Tarrant County, Texas — The Fort Worth City Council took up a 10-year, $50 million tax abatement package on October 27 for AeternZ Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Taiwan's King Yuan Electronics (KYEC), which proposes a new semiconductor testing plant at 273 W. Everman Parkway.
The project involves $1.3 billion in spending — $1 billion in real property improvements and $300 million in business personal property — and is expected to create 630 new jobs with an average annual salary of $80,000. AeternZ has committed to spending 30% of real property improvements with local firms. Approval of the abatement is a key factor as the company weighs other North Texas and out-of-state sites.
On the demand side, NVIDIA recently announced an agreement to provide $1.1 billion in advance payments to reserve semiconductor testing capacity at AeternZ's new U.S. facilities, with future testing service charges gradually offsetting the advance. KYEC's board had separately authorized up to $1.4 billion for its U.S. expansion — a different figure from this project's $1.3 billion.
