  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Following Schumpeter‟S (1939
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Following Schumpeter‟s (1939) exposition of the importance of understanding the coevolution of technology, firm and industry structure, evolutionary economists have taken on this dynamics to view economic growth as a differentiating, non-linear and complex process (Nelson, 2008). Taken together, any attempt to understand firms‟ successful transformation from technological followers to leaders requires a profound unravelling of the sectoral innovation system associated with technological leaps. Economic growth, thus, is not an aggregate phenomenon; rather, it is determined by the country‟s different sectors, each characterized by its own dynamics (Nelson & Winter 1982; Nelson 2008). The integrated circuit (IC) industry has undergone major structural changes since its infancy in the 1950s, which is largely attributed to changes in firms‟ business models and technologies. The industry began life dominated by large-scale vertically integrated companies, referred to as the „integrated device manufacturers‟ (IDMs) in the United States. Born in the Bell Laboratory, ICs were first commercially produced by Fairchild. Subsequently, multinational corporations (MNCs) like Fairchild, Intel, International Business Machines (IBM), National Semiconductor and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) internationalized their operations to East Asia since the 1960s. Since the emergence of the world‟s first pure-play foundry in Taiwan in 1987, the industry experienced a change of manufacturing landscape as firms began to vertically disintegrate to specialize in specific scopes. Since 2005, the IC industry experienced increasing stability of innovators and increasing concentration of innovations. 1 A pure-play foundry is a „dedicated‟ chip-fabrication service provider which fabricates wafers for other IC firms without its own brand name.

  • Malaysia—Attracting Superstar Firms in the Electrical and Electronics Industry Through Investment Promotion
    Chapter 8 Malaysia—Attracting superstar firms in the electrical and electronics industry through investment promotion MAXIMILIAN PHILIP ELTGEN, YAN LIU, AND YEW KEAT CHONG Summary This case study shows how attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) through active investment promotion jump-started the development of Malaysia’s electrical and electronics (E&E) indus- try, which, facilitated by workforce development and linking programs, significantly upgraded over time. In the early 1970s, proactive investment promotion with high-level political sup- port, along with a competitive investment climate, led a few of the industry’s “superstar” firms to locate in Malaysia. This move launched an incipient industry focused on labor-intensive, low-skilled production and assembly. Over the years, the multinational corporations (MNCs) operating in Malaysia gradually shifted into higher-value-added activities and developed local suppliers, and domestic companies emerged onto the scene. This process was supported by a number of government programs, including the provision of incentives, supplier development efforts, and workforce development initiatives. The creation of the Penang Skills Development Centre in 1989 stands out as an internationally recognized example of a tripartite, industry-led workforce development initiative involving the private sector, government, and academia. By looking at a 50-year process, this case study also provides insights into the effectiveness of dis- tinct strategic approaches and policy tools for leveraging FDI at different phases of a country’s development. Malaysia’s role in the electrical and electronics global value chain The electrical and electronics global value chain The E&E global value chain (GVC) comprises a number of electrical and electronic compo- nents, assembly processes, and distribution channels that serve a variety of end markets (see figure 8.1).1,2 Broadly speaking, the GVC can be divided into five separate production stages: 1.

  • List of Semiconductor Fabrication Plants
    List of semiconductor fabrication plants This is a list of semiconductor fabrication plants: A semiconductor fabrication plant is where integrated circuits (ICs), also known as microchips, are made. They are either operated by Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) who design and manufacture ICs in-house and may also manufacture designs from design only firms(fabless companies), or by Pure Play foundries, who only manufacture designs from fabless companies but do not design their own ICs. Notes: Plant location is where the plant is located, Started production is when the plant officially started volume(or mass) production, Wafer size is the largest wafer size that the facility is capable of processing, Process Technology Node is the size of the smallest features that the facility is capable of etching onto the wafers, Wafer capacity per month is the plant's Nameplate capacity. It does not mean that the facility is working at that capacity. The number of wafers that a plant actually processes in relation to its nameplate capacity is referred to as the plant's utilization. Technology/Products are the products that the facility is capable of producing, as not all plants can produce all products on the market. Open plants are listed below; plants that are closed are below this first table.
