Hi all, I am considering to continue my study in semiconductor field. Recently I have found some info about tis field :

1) Taiwan University possess higher technologies and better instrument for research purpose.
2) Msia IPTA provide better research background than IPTS

By now i have some concern :

1) I am graduate from IPTS and I am close to lecturer in my uni. I know some of them are quite good. If continue my master in my uni i can receive around RM2000 per month. But the concern is the instrumentation in my uni is not sufficient for research purpose. Senior experiences proved that work were delayed due to instrument problem.

2) I not familiar with any local IPSA system and resource especially in semiconductor field.

3) The last thing, Msia cert in postgraduate can help me find researcher path in other country? What if compare to Taiwan postgraduate study, is it Msia cert is worth to take?

Thank you.

nowadays ppl don look at certificates

ppl look at publications

tat mean where i take my postgrad study wont effect the chance to enter research field ? (Not lecturing)

Taiwan is so much better than Malaysia in terms of semiconductor industry, especially in Hsinchu Science Park where you can find many top semiconductor manufacturers like TSMC and UMC.

I highly recommend you to consider NCTU and NTHU for your master's studies as they are both among the top 3 universities in Taiwan and physically close to the science park. For your information, the Malaysian pendrive inventor, Pua Khein-Seng was a student at NCTU.

indeed i hope to join Taiwan institute but just some concern in malaysia that i hav to convince myself

but u need to have the ability to publish
to publish u need good research outcomes
for good research outcomes u need good equipments, funds, and ppl
