Semiconductor Industry Development: Human Resources as the Key Factor Developing high-tech industries, building Da Nang into a national startup and innovation center is one of the 5 key areas according to Resolution No. 43 of the Politburo, on construction and development of the city by 2030, vision to 2045. To achieve this goal, Da Nang is determined to build an ecosystem for the electronic, semiconductor, and chip industry; in which, developing the workforce is a decisive factor for the development of this industry. Da Nang opens the course on semiconductor chip design Recently, in Da Nang City, the National Innovation Center – Ministry of Planning and Investment, the Asian Fund and the University of Engineering Education – Da Nang University opened a course on semiconductor chip design. About 30 students from universities and colleges in Da Nang and the Central Highlands region participate in the course which lasts for 3 months. This is good news for young people who are passionate about this field. Mr. Nguyen Khac Hung, a student at the University of Science and Technology, Da Nang University, expressed: “I am a student of information technology and I love semiconductor chips. This is also a field that Da Nang city focuses on developing, so I hope that students will have the opportunity to study and find employment right after graduation.” The highlight of the semiconductor chip design course is that students have access to and use chip design software. With the launch of this training course, the University of Engineering Education, member universities of Da Nang University affirms its pioneering role in training and developing the workforce in the semiconductor industry in the Central Highlands. Intel commits to support the development of artificial intelligence (AI) training in Da Nang Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Le Hung, Vice Rector of the University of Engineering Education, Da Nang University, said that the university is deploying training programs and opening additional laboratories. This is considered the first laboratory in Da Nang City and the Central Highlands region equipped with chip and semiconductor testing equipment. After students design the chips, the university has equipment to test and verify them. Da Nang City has recently decided to establish two task forces to implement the project “Development of semiconductor chips and circuits of Da Nang City”, including a Working Group and an Advisory Team… Da Nang is determined to build an ecosystem for the electronic, semiconductor, and chip industry. To achieve this goal, Da Nang prioritizes the development of semiconductor and chip workforce. The goal of Da Nang City by 2030 is that the digital economy accounts for at least 30% of GRDP, with 8,950 digital technology enterprises, 115,000 digital technology workforce, 7 information technology parks, software parks, etc. In recent years, universities and training institutions in Da Nang have actively formed, expan...

The Crucial Importance of Semiconductor Education: A Global Imperative In my 25 years in the semiconductor industry, I’ve come to realize that one of our most important responsibilities is to educate the world about the origins and manufacturing process of these tiny, yet incredibly powerful devices. It’s not just about showcasing our technological prowess; it’s about fostering a deeper understanding of the complex global ecosystem that underpins our modern way of life. Semiconductors are the bedrock of the digital age, enabling countless technological marvels that we often take for granted. However, the process of creating these chips is far from simple. It involves an intricate dance of precision, innovation, and global collaboration, with supply chains spanning multiple continents and geopolitical boundaries. As I’ve navigated the complexities of this industry, I’ve seen firsthand how a single disruption in the semiconductor supply chain can send shockwaves through the global economy. That’s why it’s crucial that we educate policymakers, business leaders, and the general public about the strategic importance of semiconductor manufacturing and the need for resilient, diversified supply chains. But beyond the economic and geopolitical implications, there’s a more fundamental reason why we must prioritize semiconductor education: to inspire the next generation of innovators. By showcasing the incredible feats of engineering and the transformative potential of this industry, we can ignite a passion for STEM in young minds and empower them to tackle the challenges of the future. Moreover, as the demand for semiconductors continues to grow exponentially, driven by the rise of AI, 5G, and the Internet of Things, it’s essential that we foster a global talent pipeline equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to drive innovation forward. This can only happen through robust education and collaboration between industry, academia, and government. At the end of the day, semiconductors are not just a technological marvel; they are a testament to human ingenuity and the power of global collaboration. By educating the world about the where and how of semiconductor manufacturing, we can build a more informed, resilient, and innovation-driven future – one chip at a time. If you want to learn more about our amazing industry, I highly recommend watching this insightful video that takes you inside Micron Taiwan’s semiconductor factory: Inside Micron Taiwan's Semiconductor Factory. It’s a fantastic glimpse into the incredible process of semiconductor manufacturing and the dedication of the professionals who make it happen every day. So let us make semiconductor education a global imperative, and let us work together to inspire the next generation of innovators who will shape the future of our interconnected world. #SemiconductorEducation #GlobalImperative #FosteringInnovation #STEMInspiration #CollaborationForTheFuture

Having worked for the semiconductor industry for almost a decade, I can truly say that innovation is key. I am fascinated by how fast this industry copes with the ever changing semiconductor landscape. This made me appreciate the power of automation and AI as one of the key factors for growth and success.

I am honored to be recognized as one of the 2024 winners of the "Mahboob Khan Outstanding Liaison Award" from Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC). Let me start off by saying I am a big fan of academic-industry collaboration. It seems only yesterday when I started my first research mentorship project through SRC back in 2015. Like many passionate liaisons, I did my best to communicate the industry challenges, share insights and facilitate tech transfers, while learning much from my academic collaborators through the process. Little did I know the monthly calls eventually turned into decade-long (and counting) friendship and partnership, where the research collaboration spined off new forms of industry-academic collaborations such as the "Princeton-Intel REU Program" (https://lnkd.in/gk4EpcTw). What's more, I am privileged to have the talented post-doc and PhD candidate (you know who you are) joining my lab after their graduation. Since then, we have been working together solving more and more challenging problems for the semiconductor industry. 😀 Guess who gets the most out of these collaborations? 😀 I still remember my excitement of receiving the "Mahboob Khan Outstanding Liaison Award" for the first time back in 2016. One thing has not changed since then: I am still a strong believer in academic-industry collaboration and I will continue to do my best to support this. I want to take the opportunity to thank my current SRC collaborators for the award nomination. It is my privilege to advance #SecurityAssurance and #SecureByDesign innovations together with you. My deep appreciation goes to Todd Younkin and his SRC team for cultivating a collaborative environment for the industry volunteers, so I get to learn from many amazing research labs and industry peers across the world over the past decade. #IamIntel #SecurityResearch #Innovation #ProductSecurity #SoftwareSecurity #FirmwareSecurity #HardwareSecurity
