Presentation Title
Charting the Course: Navigating Opportunities and Challenges in Advanced Packaging for Malaysia's OSAT Industry
Abstract
In this presentation, we delve into the dynamic landscape of Malaysia's semiconductor industry, specifically focusing on the opportunities and challenges facing OSATs (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) as they venture into advanced packaging technologies. We explore the motivations driving Malaysia's pursuit of technological advancement, including economic diversification, global technological trends, talent development, and alignment with national policies. Additionally, we analyze the multifaceted challenges encountered by OSATs, such as technological complexity, investment requirements, supply chain integration, and market competition. Through case studies, success stories, and strategic insights, we unveil strategies to overcome these challenges and capitalize on emerging opportunities. By charting this course, we aim to elevate Malaysia's semiconductor industry and position OSATs for sustained growth and competitiveness in the global market.
