I want to manufacture TRIAC in my country and need guideline on this. Appreciate if anyone can help me out on this.
There must be consultants who can help.
But I can't see the meaning of a factory just for producing a Triac. Unless it has very special behaviour (in which case you have a researcher from a university who have a lot of contacts or knowledge from the development stage of this new wonderful Triac) it will just be a standard component that will have to fight will all other standard components on the market. And the buyers will then look for a manufacturer who are known on the market and who they trust to supply large quantities of well-tested devices.
Even if using tiny 4" or 6" wafers, you will get a lot of Triacs on a wafer - and a very small factory can produce a lot of wafers. More wafters and more Triacs than you will be able to find a market for unless you manage to get a significant part of the market. Or unless your components are so special that you can sell a few of them for a very significant amount of money.
Someone asked me to manufacture TRIAC as he is importing from China. The demand is so high the challenge is to produce at a lower cost in my country.
What country?
Pakistan
just for fun, I did a google search on "semiconductor wafer processing" and since TRIACs are not a nanometer device, i took a look at used equipment since there must be a lot of that floating around now that everybody is going for smaller geometries. one i found was www.bidservice.com/.../NF_category_SEMI.asp

and that's just start of it!
Then you've got to make the leadframe, separate the individual devices from the wafer, mount them onto the leadframe, package them, etc, etc,...
It's getting better. I am learning a lot. Thanks everyone for your contribution.
