The group is now a strategic manufacturing partner for the world’s leading semiconductor companies, foundries, and electronics OEMs.
The semiconductor industry is considered one of many countries’ spearhead industries. In particular, semiconductors are fundamental components in digital devices, forming tiny microchips in electronic components found in smartphones, self-driving cars, intelligence technology, artificial intelligence, or data center… Covid-19 has severely reduced the supply of semiconductors, which is an opportunity to develop large-scale semiconductor projects.
In Vietnam, the semiconductor industry is considered a foundation to support and promote the development of other sectors, contributing to promoting economic development in depth.
