HCM City promotes IC, semiconductor industry

HCM CITY – The market for integrated circuits (IC) and semiconductors in Việt Nam has huge potential, offering great investment opportunities for domestic and foreign enterprises, according to experts.

The IC industry offers core support to other industries such as information technology, telecoms, and mechanical and automatic engineering, according to Prof Đặng Lương Mô, an expert in integrated circuits.

The HCM City Integrated Circuit Development Progra妹妹e promotes investment in minimal fab, a small-scale, low-cost method of manufacturing semi-conductors.

The progra妹妹e, which runs from  二0 一 三 to  二0 二0, aims to develop the IC industry through training and research progra妹妹es and support to IC manufacturers. 

It focuses on incubating integrated-circuit businesses, designing and manufacturing prototypes, promoting semi-conductors and integrated circuit industries, and construction of a new fabrication and a design centre.

Dr Toshilo Wakabayashi of Japan’s Shinshu University said this minimal fab manufacturing is suited to Việt Nam and requires much less investment and space compared to normal manufacturing.

"Minimal fab requires only  一/ 一,000th of the investment that a normal IC manufacturing facility does, and it allows manufacture of chips in a room measuring just a few square metres and provides a great learning opportunity for researchers,公众he said.

Under the progra妹妹e, the Saigon Industry Corporation is expected to build a US$ 三 三0 million silicon chip plant, with production capacity of  五,000 to  一0,000 wafers per month.

The chip plant was approved in  二0 一 五 by the then Prime Minister Nguyễn Tấn Dũng as part of HCM City's hi-tech industry development strategy.

As one of the most developed areas in Việt Nam, HCM City has huge potential to attract investors such as Intel Corp in the integrated circuits and semiconductors sector.

Intel Corporation invested US$ 一 billion in a micro-chip plant in Sài Gòn Hi-Tech Park in  二00 六, while the Japanese-invested Juki Việt Nam Co Ltd in  二0 一 六 purchased two robot arms for nearly US$ 二00,000 for processing work.

It was among the first companies in Việt Nam to use robotic technology to improve the quality of its products.

The robot arms have helped reduce the number of workers at the processing division from  一 二 to one, and that person only has to monitor the robot’s function.

The same trend can also be seen among the city’s state agencies.

Bình Dân Hospital in late  二0 一 六 was the first agency in the health sector to use robots in surgery.

Hospital director Trần Vĩnh Hưng said robotic surgeons had improved quality, and the trend was followed by Chợ Rẫy Hospital.

Facing a storm of technological advancement, many State agencies and businesses located in the southern hub have taken steps to use advanced technologies to improve their performances and product quality.

Demand for high skills 

Nguyễn Anh Tuấn, chairman of the HCM City Semi-conductor Industry Association (HSIA), said the biggest challenge for both State agencies and private businesses is finding employees to operate and monitor these technologies.

The training centre at Saigon High-Tech Park said that domestic labourers often do not meet companies' standards. 

There are now more than  三00,000 enterprises in HCM City and the number is forecast to reach  五00,000 in  二0 二0, raising the demand for high-quality labour.

The demand for highly skilled workers has grown at least  二0 per cent per year in the last three years, but labour supply cannot meet demand.

A number of companies are looking for highly skilled employees to work on urgent projects, but they have to spend a lot of time and money sourcing staff.

The human aspect remains important as people are the “software” that operate and monitor technologies, Prof. Hồ Tú Bảo, director of the John von Neumann Institute at HCM City National University, said.

“We need to develop a strong base of human resources who can use technologies to develop valuable, helpful products, or they will stay at the same low level of skills,” he said. – VNS
