Malaysia Semiconductor Advanced Packaging Technology Hub

The Malaysia Semiconductor Advanced Packaging Technology Hub is a strategic initiative designed to position Malaysia as a global leader in semiconductor packaging innovation and outsourcing. This comprehensive project integrates the Advanced Packaging Institute and Research Center (APIRC) with an advanced outsourced assembly and test (A/T) factory, creating a state-of-the-art ecosystem for next-generation packaging solutions. The hub will focus on pioneering technologies like Fan-Out, 2.5D and 3D Packaging which significantly reduces costs and enhances performance, meeting the demands of high-growth markets such as AI, 5G, and IoT. A core component of the project is its business model centered on outsourced development and manufacturing services. The hub will serve fabless design firms, local OSATs, and multinational OEMs by providing flexible, cost-effective R&D, prototyping, and high-volume production capabilities without requiring clients to make large capital investments. This approach lowers entry barriers and accelerates the adoption of advanced packaging technologies, enabling partners to scale quickly and innovate faster. By offering shared infrastructure, cutting-edge equipment, and industry-academic collaborations, the hub will foster a thriving innovation ecosystem, attracting international investments and industry players. The facility will not only support technology transfer and workforce training but also serve as a global export platform for outsourced packaging services. Strategically aligned with Malaysia’s national semiconductor growth strategy, this hub will catalyze regional supply chain development, attract foreign direct investment, and elevate Malaysia’s profile as a key player in the global semiconductor outsourcing industry. With its integrated approach to technology, business growth, and talent development, the Malaysia Semiconductor Advanced Packaging Technology Hub offers a compelling investment opportunity for stakeholders seeking to capitalize on the growing semiconductor packaging market.
