This is on top of Malaysia current pool of about 90,000 engineers. The goal is to boost Malaysia’s position in the global semiconductor market, currently valued at RM575.45 billion (S$174 billion). 

One of the talents driving this effort is Dr Salleh Ahmad, who recently returned to Malaysia after earning a degree in microelectronics at ESIEE Paris and working in France. Now, he is leading Weeroc’s operations at their new facility in Selangor’s Integrated Circuit (IC) Design Park as chief technology officer (CTO). This facility in Puchong is central to Malaysia’s plans to advance from traditional semiconductor services to high-value fabless manufacturing and IC design.

According to The Straits Times, Dr Salleh noted, “Malaysia is a good choice due to its bright industry prospects, government incentives, and the low cost of doing business.” The push for more engineers is driven by the country’s plan to double its chip sector output and market share by 2030.

Currently, Malaysia’s chip sector contributes 7% to global exports and aims to increase this to 15%, boosting its market value from RM575.45 billion to RM1.2 trillion. The strategy is built around three Rs: recruit, retain, and return—bringing in new engineers, keeping existing talent, and encouraging Malaysians working abroad to return home.

The newly opened Puchong chip design hub, touted as one of the largest in Southeast Asia, plays a crucial role in this strategy. It needs up to 400 local engineers, with 60 already hired. According to Ng Sze Han, Selangor’s state executive councillor for investment, the hub offers salaries up to RM6,000 for new graduates.

This is much higher than the national median of RM2,600 and surpasses the salaries in Selangor (RM2,900), Kuala Lumpur (RM3,900), and Penang (RM2,645). This is intended to attract and retain skilled engineers in Malaysia.

“Anchor tenant MaiStorage has established an office in the park. Five Malaysians who previously worked at Taiwan’s Hsinchu Technology Park have returned to lead and mentor local hires as qualified IC designers,” he noted.

Although in Taiwan and France, engineering graduates can earn up to RM9,000 and RM17,000 a month, they usually need a master’s degree. 

When asked about competing with countries like Singapore, Mr Ng said that Malaysia “can’t treat Singapore as a competitor” but rather as part of a larger supply chain. “Our cost of doing business is lower than Singapore,” he noted.

He also added that not all talents seek the highest salary or a fast-paced environment; many prefer a better quality of life, which Puchong offers. Companies like MaiStorage, a subsidiary of Taiwan’s Phison Electronics, have already established a presence in the park. Mai Storage’s investment could further stimulate Malaysia’s semiconductor sector, potentially drawing back Malaysian engineers working overseas.

Phison’s Malaysian co-founder, Pua Khein Seng, said he believes “Malaysia is more convenient, even though its efficiency is lower than Taiwan in terms of output.”

Mr Pua also mentioned that if Malaysia’s IC design sector takes off as expected, MaiStorage will require at least 500 engineers to meet its operational needs. Meanwhile, Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow is optimistic that the “Silicon Valley of the East” will attract and keep skilled workers. He noted that Malaysia is home to over 30 IC design companies, with 28 of them based in Penang.

The talent pool in Penang is well-established, and its capital, Georgetown, is launching a new initiative called “Penang Silicon Design @5km+” to attract, hire, and develop essential talent. MSIA’s Mr Wong added that Malaysia’s chip industry has built a strong ecosystem over the past five decades, helping to retain talent through competitive pay, good job prospects, and a balanced work-life environment. 

Major local companies like Oppstar, SkyeChip, Infinecs, and global giants such as AMD and Intel have employed over 7,000 engineers in Penang alone. Infineon Technologies, Germany’s largest semiconductor manufacturer, with over 500 employees in Penang, boasts one of the lowest attrition rates in the sector. 

According to Dr Raj Kumar, Senior Vice-President for Technology and Research and Development at Infineon, the company’s 5% turnover rate is well below the industry average of 10 to 15%, thanks to ongoing career development and training.

The Big Question

India is reportedly planning to send a group of people to Singapore for training, and have the group import the knowledge acquired domestically to boost semiconductor manpower in preparation for the booming industry.

According to Business Standard, in an effort to build talent for the semiconductor industry in India, the India Electronics and Semiconductor Association (IESA) is planning to send a batch of people — from industry to academics — on deputation to Singapore in the coming months. This is part of the recently-announced memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Singapore Semiconductor Industries Association (SSIA).

Ashok Chandak, President, IESA told the media, “What we are looking at is sending some of the people on deputation to Singapore and the SSIA would support. These people will spend three to six months in some of the fabs, get some training, come back and implement that in India. So, this is how the overall skill and talent development concept is going to work.”

A study by TeamLease Degree Apprenticeship revealed India’s semiconductor industry is expected to face a shortage of 250,000-300,000 professionals across various verticals by 2027. These include research and development (R&D), manufacturing, design, and advanced packaging. The collaboration between IESA and SSIA will have professionals and experts cross visit to train domestic talent.

Ashok added the Indian semiconductor is reportedly also exploring a similar partnership with its Taiwanese counterparts. However, Singapore is preferred since it has an advantage in terms of language and connectivity.

Meanwhile, Chinese semiconductor companies have also been actively recruiting talent from South Korea and making strategic acquisitions and investments, triggering concerns within the South Korean semiconductor industry in the recent years. 

The semiconductor industry, being the backbone of technological advancement, and its success is inherently linked to the skill and knowledge of its workforce. South Korea, home to tech giants like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, possesses a rich supply of semiconductor talent coveted globally. However, the aggressive recruitment efforts from China’s tech firms have raised concerns despite known shortcomings.

Given almost is powered by chip technology — from our smart devices to automotive, the competition can only get tighter and China is not inclined to be left behind in the competition. It brazen poaching of Korean talent is a strong message yet back-handed compliment to the latter country’s talent quality.

Amid China’s mission to achieve semiconductor self-sufficiency, the republic strategically targeted Korea’s pool of skilled engineers and researchers. Offering lucrative incentives and promising career prospects, Chinese companies have lured talent away from their Korean counterparts.

Malaysia is aggressively positioning itself as an optimum semiconductor hub. While claims were made that Singapore should not be deemed as a competitor, it just might be a tall order given trade means revenue. It will be worthwhile watching how the chip talent shifts around Malaysia, Singapore, China and Korea.

The post Malaysia Semiconductor Industry Needs Another 60,000 Engineers For Its Growth appeared first on Asia Pacific Metalworking Equipment News | Manufacturing | Automation | Quality Control.

The thinner the material, the more difficult it is to evaluate the spring back for open profiles, as well as for closed profiles. At Dallan, we have been developing specific calculation tools and algorithms for thin metal sheets since 1978. This has driven the development of our company and has become the distinctive factor of Dallan machines and equipment.

The image shows the accuracy of Dallan roll forming machines in a comparison between the theoretical design and the final result of a rolling shutter profile with a thickness of 0.20mm plus paint. The rolling shutter profile is one of the most technical made by Dallan systems. Since it is not a static profile, the hook needs to work correctly during winding and unwinding for the entire lifetime of the product.

The Original 1974 Study Of Thin Materials

In 2019, 45 years after its publication, we published the thesis written in Italian. It was written by our founder, Sergio Dallan, for his university degree.

The subject was the cold forming of thin metal sheets. Starting from this study, entitled “The Design Of Rollers For Light Profiles”, published in its original version and complete with all its formulas, our company gradually began to develop, first as a design studio, subsequently as a manufacturer of roll forming machines for the Italian market followed by the international market. 

The formulas were included in the original Dallan roller development software, which we still use today. It has been updated with the experience accumulated in 40 years of work.

Characteristics Of Coatings For Roll Forming And Bending Radii

In addition to developing special techniques for thin materials, from the very beginning we started working in sectors such as metal suspended ceilings and rolling shutters, where many profiles are made of pre-painted material. When forming an aesthetic profile with a pre-finished surface, particular attention is needed in the design to guarantee product quality.

The post Roll Forming: How To Get The Most Out Of Thin Materials appeared first on Asia Pacific Metalworking Equipment News | Manufacturing | Automation | Quality Control.

The Nation Thailand reported the country’s economic ministers discussed sending Thai students to train in Taiwan to counter lack of advanced skills. The government plans to establish a national semiconductor board to set investment and development strategies for this vital industry, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira said on 14 June 2024.

Speaking after the meeting of economic ministers chaired by Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin on Monday, Pichai said the setting up of the semiconductor board will help attract foreign investments and push Thailand’s economic expansion to meet the goal of 5% annually. He added that Thailand already lagged behind other countries in the region in having a national committee dedicated to the semiconductor industry, which is crucial to the country’s future investment plan.

Pichai said the meeting also discussed the concerns of foreign investors and entrepreneurs regarding lack of advanced skills among Thai workers. The meeting proposed cooperating with factories and universities in Taiwan to send Thai students to train and improve their electronics skills, so they can fulfil market demand as soon as they graduate.

The Finance Minister cited a report from the Board of Investment (BOI) stating that the agency has been promoting investment in the electronics industry, which is being driven by the trend of production base relocation to mitigate risks from geopolitical conflicts.

The BOI said there has been significant investment in both electric vehicle and semiconductor industries, and encouraged the government to help create facilitating ecosystems for both industries in Thailand. This can be done by attracting entrepreneurs in advanced semiconductor manufacturing, such as chip production, electronics design, subcontract manufacturing, and testing of advanced chips to establish their facilities in the kingdom, said the BOI report.

The move would help increase the industry’s value and create high-skilled jobs for Thai workers, said the BOI, adding that negotiations with global companies to support the move are already underway. The government started hosting a weekly meeting of economic ministers last week in response to underwhelming economic growth in the first quarter of this year of only 1.5%.

Malaysia’s IC Design Park Plan And Vietnam’s Chip Ambition

Malaysia earlier announced her mission to be Southeast Asia’s largest integrated circuit design park last April. Now, Vietnam joins the competition for the same crown, with the support from an American semiconductor titan – Marvell Technology Inc.

Marvell Technology, Inc., a titan in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, accelerated the growth of its workforce and presence in Vietnam in the past year since the company announced plans to expand R&D, engineering and design activities in the country. Marvell committed to 50% growth of its workforce in Vietnam in three years, a target shared by the company during last year’s U.S.-Vietnam Innovation and Investment Summit attended by Marvell Chairman and CEO Matt Murphy.

Today, Marvell is ahead of its plans, achieving more than 30% growth in just eight months. Marvell has also expanded its physical footprint in Vietnam with a new location in Da Nang, adding to its offices in Ho Chi Minh City. The growth of its footprint demonstrates the company’s commitment to creating a world-class semiconductor design hub in the country.

It will be an intense competition within ASEAN when semiconductor is now acknowledged to be the key edge in the manufacturing world.

While working on being a semiconductor powerhouse leveraging on foreign direct investments (FDI), the Vietnamese workforce in the sector is still in the “red alert” category, despite significant progress in investment attraction and technological transfer. Hired workers still need to complete 6-12 months of advanced training to meet job requirements.

According to the HCM City Semiconductor Industry Association (HSIA), 95% of the direct investment in the semiconductor technology in Vietnam come from foreign sources. There are only about 50 semiconductor manufacturers nationwide.

Vietnam currently has more than 5,500 chip design engineers, with the majority in Ho Chi Minh City, accounting for over 76% of the total. The industry requires 5,000-10,000 engineers per year, but the ability to meet this requirement is limited to about 20%.

HSIA Nguyen Anh Tuan said in the semiconductor production process, Vietnam primarily focuses on chip design, accounting for some 52%. The other stages such as production, packaging and testing only make up 48%, but they are still in the early stages of development.

This means out of the 5,500 semiconductor workers in Vietnam, the majority are primarily focusing on design while there is a significant shortage of workforce for the other stages. Tuan said the HSIA also held working sessions with the University of Natural Sciences under the Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City) to address the issue.

Industry insiders said close collaboration among the State, educational institutions, and businesses is essential to this effort, adding that the State should issue specific policies and regulations to encourage firms to invest in semiconductor research and development. Additionally, there should be policies to assist universities in investing in physical infrastructure, human resources, and expert teams for education and research in this field.

The Ministry of Education and Training was advised to promptly review and add curricula related to the semiconductor field, as well as connect foreign experts and international universities with domestic educational institutions to facilitate the training of a qualified workforce for the industry. Will this hinder the country’s mission to be one of the chip powerhouses?

The post ANCA To Debut At METALEX Thailand With Tailored Contract Manufacturing Solutions For Diverse Industries appeared first on Asia Pacific Metalworking Equipment News | Manufacturing | Automation | Quality Control.

The two-year old startup said in a statement that the 73,000sqm factory would create over 1,000 jobs with support from Singapore’s Economic Development Board (EDB).

“This new facility is well poised to solve the unique challenges for chiplet adoption, which is critical to meet market demands of emerging technologies. Our proprietary interconnection technology will not only shorten the design cycle of chips but also lower new device costs, reduce power consumption and enable faster time-to-market for industry partners like artificial intelligence, data centres, and electronic vehicles” explains Dr. Han co-founder and CEO, Silicon Box to The Straits Times.

Silicon Box focuses on “chiplets”, or small chips, which can be the size of a grain of sand and are brought together in a process called advanced packaging, a cost-efficient way to bind small semiconductors to form one processor that can power everything from data centres to household appliances.

The global chip industry has increasingly embraced the technology in recent years as chip manufacturing costs soar in the race to make transistors small enough to be measured in the number of atoms. CEO Han told Reuters that “customers had been lining up” even before the factory’s launch, with artificial intelligence firms driving demand. He said Silicon Box was in talks to supply Canadian AI startup company Tenstorrent.

The establishment of this factory is poised to have a significant impact on Singapore’s semiconductor sector. It is expected to boost the industry’s growth and elevate the country’s standing as a formidable player in the global market. This development will contribute to the nation’s economic expansion and support Singapore’s long-term vision of expanding its manufacturing base.

Developing Local Talent To Be Ready For Next- Gen Manufacturing

With the support of EDB, the factory will create over 1000 technologically advanced jobs while providing upskilling opportunities. This venture focuses on human capital spanning from entry-level to highly skilled engineering roles; the homegrown talent is vested in Silicon Box’s vision as they commit to providing upskilling programs to keep the Singaporean workforce market-ready in disruptive technologies.

This investment will bolster the nation’s GDP and drive workforce development, ensuring Singapore remains at the forefront of technological innovation and manufacturing excellence.

“Singapore is home to a vibrant and sophisticated semiconductor industry, with a strong ecosystem of solution providers and partners. Silicon Box’s decision to set up its first manufacturing and R&D facility in Singapore is a testament to our competitiveness as a critical global node for semiconductors and a vote of confidence in the long-term growth prospects of the sector in Singapore. We will continue strengthening our industry’s competitiveness by developing a stronger talent pipeline, reducing the sector’s carbon footprint, and deepening our semiconductor R&D capabilities” explains EDB’s Chairman Png Cheong Boon.

Next-Gen Semiconductor Technology To Accelerate The Future Of Computing And AI

Silicon Box offers design flexibility and exceptional electrical performance at a lower cost and power consumption with its proprietary fabrication method. They have developed the shortest interconnections using sub-5-micron technology, setting a new standard in semiconductor design cycles. This means the industry can efficiently scale chiplet-based solutions across the semiconductor value chain.

With Singapore actively starting semiconductor design facilities, automotive assembly plants and even battery jigs, the country will also go through a machine tool demand hike across the board – from metal cutting to forming.
