historic low cost A&T

lulz

in no way on par, compared to the semicon jobs and ecosystem in Penang

assembly and test

the lowest grade of semicon investment

you mean the hamzat?

look at the value chain at the top right coner of the picture ie OSAT

doesn't matter

just want to say A&T is at the low end of the semicon value chain. just the quality checks for manufacturing.

the high value ones are R&D (POC, TR , EC, POR) for architecture and microarchitecture of the IP/SoC design, integration, and verification at RTL level and at Gate level including physical, structural, and circuit designs and verification (ie from RTL to GDS II) and silicon wafer fabrication at foundry (also includes the standard cell library and PDK designs). after these, are low value in the semicon industry chain.

see post #44

nope. just few years only. if you work at Intel which controls the whole semicon chain, then you got the chance to know all this by interacting with people from different departments, read semicon news, and attending internal talks organised by different groups. as an engineer, you can only concentrate and be master in the small area along the semicon chain which involves a lot of different expertise from various fields.
