During the conference “Advanced semiconductor systems for a sustainable world,” Korean experts highlighted two prominent trends that they recommend Vietnam to pursue: semiconductor devices for AI processing and high-speed graphics processors with high-capacity memory.
Professor Park Inkyu from KAIST introduced a smart environmental monitoring system using low-power or self-powered air sensors and artificial intelligence, emphasizing the increasing use of IoT and advanced sensors in various sectors. Meanwhile, Professor Lee Young Hee, Academician of KAST, emphasized the importance of focusing on the semiconductor industry and investing in research and development to build and develop a new industry.
Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Tran Vu from Polytechnic University in Ho Chi Minh City pointed out the need for more engineers in the semiconductor industry in Vietnam. He stressed the importance of training engineers to participate deeply in the supply chain and master the process of designing complex ICs. By 2030, Vietnam is expected to need a significant number of engineers for both design and production stages in the semiconductor industry.
To meet this growing demand for semiconductor human resources, it is crucial for Vietnam to establish training programs, laboratories, and international cooperation within the semiconductor industry. By focusing on education and research in semiconductor technology, Vietnam can strengthen its position in the global semiconductor market and contribute to the development of cutting-edge technologies.
In conclusion, Korea’s experts recommended that Vietnam should prioritize education and training of high-quality human resources for the semiconductor industry. They also suggested establishing a National Research Laboratory dedicated to semiconductor research as well as encouraging international cooperation within this field. By following these recommendations, Vietnam can become a key player in global technology development while also improving its economic growth prospects through innovation and entrepreneurship.
