PH urged to establish niche in IC design

FILIPINO engineers should set up companies that would encourage innovation in integrated circuit (IC) design—an essential part of the Philippine semiconductor and electronics industry—so that the country can establish a competitive digital niche in Asia.

This was the call made by Professors Shuenn-Yuh Lee and Cheng-Han Hsieh of Taiwan’s National Cheng Kung University during the 5th IC Design Training Program held recently at the JICA-Net Satellite Center, NEC Building in UP Diliman, Quezon City.
