This would stand them in good stead when the outlook becomes bullish again, all the more given the huge investments in plant and equipment that the industry requires. The change in focus is all the more required, given that the world's biggest semiconductor companies have invested billions of dollars to set up wafer fabs here.
Wafer foundries are the vital first link in the electronics industry's value chain.
These plants make silicon rods, which are then sliced into thin disk-shaped wafers. Transistors and circuits are then etched on them. After that, they are diced to produce the finished computer chips. JTC has been instrumental in the planning and facilitation of land for industrial use, including the 200 hectares of land in the northern and eastern parts of the Island for three wafer fab parks. The EDB also manages eight manpower programmes to cater to the industry's needs for skilled manpower.
