Semiconductor

Building a semiconductor facility demands more than standard construction management. ABM provides specialized construction clean services, contamination control protocols, safety spotters, EHS compliance support, and access control systems from groundbreaking through handover, all through our NVOLVE Managed Workforce service. Our teams are trained to operate within the strict environmental and cleanliness standards that semiconductor construction requires, ensuring that every milestone is met without compromising the integrity of the build. With over 50 U.S. fab sites underway, we bring the scale and semiconductor expertise to keep your project on schedule and your facility ready for what comes next.

The fit-out phase is where a frame becomes a semiconductor facility. ABM supports the installation and commissioning of critical subfab infrastructure — gas cabinets, bulk chemical systems, pure water and wastewater treatment, power distribution, building scrubbers, and house extraction systems through our NSITE service. Our teams bring QA/QC support and safety spotters to every stage of fit-out, ensuring that the systems running beneath your fab floor are installed to specification and ready for production. Technical trust is built here, and few organizations have the cleanroom expertise and semiconductor specialization to execute this phase safely at scale.

When tools arrive on the dock, the race to first silicon begins. ABM provides end-to-end equipment installation support, moving tools from dock to fab, supporting OEM field engineers through our NFAB service, qualifying cleanrooms, and conducting NETA-certified electrical testing and test-and-balance services. Our NFORM-trained technicians are deployed and productive from day one, compressing ramp timelines without sacrificing the cleanroom discipline your process demands. For semiconductor operators and OEMs preparing to bring a new fab online, speed and precision at this phase directly determine your time to revenue.

High volume manufacturing is where the investment pays off, and where the cost of operational disruption is highest. ABM delivers fully managed workforce programs through NVOLVE, embedding specialist teams directly into your fab operations with outcome-based accountability. Our NSITE teams keep SubFab and utility systems running continuously, while NFAB technicians provide preventive maintenance and OEM support across 500+ supported equipment platforms. Backed by ABM Connect™ for predictive maintenance and NTrack for asset lifecycle visibility, our integrated approach keeps your semiconductor facility operating at the throughput and reliability your production targets demand.

Scaling to the next process node while maintaining production output requires a services partner who already knows your facility inside and out. ABM supports tool moves, equipment upgrades, and expansion projects through our NSURE equipment relocation program, managing decontamination, safe transport, reinstallation, and asset tracking through NTrack from start to finish. Our teams can mobilize existing on-site NVOLVE workforce for upgrade projects, minimizing the handover risk that comes with bringing in unfamiliar contractors during a live production environment. The result is a node transition executed with the speed and continuity your business demands.

Decommissioning a semiconductor facility is one of the most complex and liability-intensive projects a fab operator undertakes. ABM manages the full scope through our NSURE service — equipment removal and safe transport, asset resale, harvesting or disposal, hazardous waste decontamination, site transition planning, and shipping and storage logistics. Our teams bring deep familiarity with regulatory requirements and cleanroom decontamination standards, reducing exposure for the customer at every step. And because we've typically been present since the facility was built, we bring an institutional knowledge of the site that no incoming contractor can match,  closing this chapter cleanly and positioning you for whatever comes next.
