A ceremony to sign Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cooperation between Japanese Minimal Fab Development Association and the Saigon Hi-tech Park (SHTP) to study and improve Minimal Fab technology was held in HCM City on September 15.
HCM City will have a chance to develop its semi-conductor industry.
Accordingly, the Japanese Minimal Fab Development Association will provide a training course over one to two years for two researchers from the SHTP’s Research and Development Centre while transferring Minimal Fab technology to the SHTP after the course’s completion.
Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Tat Thanh Cang stressed that the semi-conductor industry is one of the four key sectors of the city to develop municipal industry, adding that the Minimal Fab model is relevant to Vietnamese small- and medium-sized enterprises.
The Vice Chairman said that the cooperation will push the national semi-conductor industry’s development, making the country a leading nation to apply this technology.
State-of-the-art technology is the highlight of Minimal Fab, Chairman of the Minimal Fab Development Association Yasuyuki Harada said, underscoring that human resources training is prioritised in applying this technology.
According to Chairman Harada, Minimal Fab technology studied by Japanese scientists is new in the world. Vietnam is the first country which Japanese scientists have agreed to cooperate in training and transferring the technology.
The Japanese partner has completed about 100 Minimal Fab units and successfully manufactured semi-conductor products from the equipment.
The Minimal Fab technology is expected to be transferred to Vietnam in the next three years.
