Singapore launches national semicon brand initiative, inks R&D deals
Applied Materials, GlobalFoundries and KLA among firms deepening partnerships with A*Star
Singapore has launched a national semicon brand initiative called SG Semiconductor, aiming to showcase the country's chip sector to the world. The initiative, developed by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) and the Economic Development Board (EDB), will serve as a unified national identity for Singapore's semiconductor research, manufacturing, infrastructure, and talent.
The launch also brought several global chip firms, including Applied Materials and GlobalFoundries, into new partnerships with A*Star. The SG Semiconductor initiative focuses on seven technology areas, such as advanced packaging, silicon photonics, power electronics, radio frequency gallium nitride, piezoelectric micro-electro-mechanical systems, flat optics, and integrated circuit designs.
