Phenikaa Semiconductor Circuit Design Training Center aims to train more than 8,000 IC design engineers and 12,000 engineers and high-level workers with international certificates by 2030.
Realizing the goal of becoming one of the leading technology-industrial corporations in Vietnam, Phenikaa has participated in the field of semiconductor industry in Vietnam by making strategic investments such as establishing a training center. create Semiconductor IC Design towards training high quality human resources (upskill); launched a spin-off company operating in the field of IC design and manufacturing. Phenikaa University will also include the IC design major in the regular university training program from 2024-2025.
Phenikaa Group promotes the development of human resources in the semiconductor industry with two complementary and mutually developing directions. Developing in breadth, the school will open a major in formal semiconductor IC design training from 2024-2025, thereby helping to rapidly increase the number of IC design engineers. Developing in depth, the Phenikaa Semiconductor Circuit Design Training Center will provide students with an in-depth training environment and upskill training, providing opportunities for practice and experience. In fact, to be able to work effectively at domestic and international semiconductor companies during or immediately after completing the training course.
Possessing modern equipment, the center carries out research and training activities in the fields of circuit design, semiconductors, technology transfer, international cooperation, resource mobilization, linkage, Cooperate with domestic and foreign partners to promote research and training activities on semiconductor circuit design, contributing to meeting human resource needs and promoting the semiconductor industry in Vietnam.

With a staff of leading experts and engineers in Vietnam and internationally, and a modern equipment system, the Phenikaa Semiconductor Circuit Design Training Center aims to train more than 100,000 people by 2030. 8,000 IC design engineers and at least 12,000 engineers and high-level workers with international certificates work in ATP factories in the fields of: digital chip design, analog chip design, chip manufacturing, packaging and testing.
Students have the opportunity to practice on the world’s advanced virtualization systems (HAPS, ZeBu 4, ZeBu 5) that usually only large chip companies in the world are willing to invest in. These are technologies that make a difference in the chip design process, helping to speed up the design and verification of highly complex chip lines.
In particular, Phenikaa invests in attracting a team of practical trainers who are leading experts and engineers in Vietnam and the world and a close network of connections with partners and large companies at home and abroad. Diverse courses with duration from three to 12 months. The program is certified by advanced chip technology corporations in the world such as Synopsys and has the opportunity to work immediately if it meets the center’s quality assessment standards.
Mr. Robert Li – Vice President of Sales for Taiwan and Southeast Asia – Synopsys assessed that the Phenikaa Semiconductor Circuit Design Training Center is currently the center with the largest and most modern facilities in the region. Southeast Asia, with chip virtualization systems ZeBu 4, ZeBu 5, HAPS, attached servers and advanced chip design software.
Mr. Le Anh Son – Deputy General Director of Phenikaa Group said that in technology, software and hardware are always linked together in every device to create a complete solution. Therefore, having an additional chip design helps complete the Phenikaa ecosystem more strongly. In addition, in addition to related design such as simulation and emulation, Phenikaa also cooperates with the world’s leading chip companies to perform tape-out production. ). The training program will be supported by the world’s leading IC companies and IC training universities so that qualified students can be recruited to work during or after graduation. complete the training course.
In addition to investing in human resource development for the industry by including the IC design major in the official training program of Phenikaa University from 2024-2025 and establishing the Phenikaa Center for Sales Circuit Design Training Phenikaa Group also established a spin-off company operating in the field of semiconductor ICs, focusing on designing and manufacturing smart, advanced, highly efficient chips, applied in various fields. of social life.
“This step affirms that Phenikaa not only stops at training high-quality human resources – meeting the needs of society and businesses, but also affirms the Group’s capacity in scientific research, development and application. learn technology, create real products that can be applied to life,” Mr. Son added.
Phenikaa Yen Nghia University – venue for the international conference on “Vietnam’s semiconductor human resources in the global supply chain”.
To open up opportunities to access and connect international networks, Phenikaa Group will organize an international conference “Vietnamese semiconductor human resources in the global supply chain” on May 4, at the University of Phenikaa School (Yen Nghia – Ha Dong, Hanoi). The event is expected to have the participation of leaders of state agencies, ministries, branches, representatives of provinces and cities, representatives of institutes and schools along with Vietnamese and world experts in the field. semiconductor field.
At the conference, delegates and experts will share information and discuss the picture of semiconductor human resources in the world, the global need for semiconductor human resources, as well as the need for human resources to contribute to the recruitment of semiconductor human resources. Attract investment and promote the semiconductor industry in Vietnam. In addition, an answering discussion will be held so that attendees can discuss directly with the speakers, thereby sharing information, experiences and answering questions, towards the development of human resources. sustainable strength of the semiconductor industry in Vietnam and the world.
The event also marked the cooperation between Phenikaa Center for Semiconductor Circuit Design Training and leading semiconductor corporations and businesses, to promote potential, strengths, and unify action and investment plans. with the goal of developing high-quality human resources, serving the needs of developing the Vietnamese and international semiconductor industry. The event also promotes scientific research, technology transfer, and innovation to effectively cooperate with semiconductor businesses in the global semiconductor chip value chain.
Semiconductor microchips are considered the foundation of modern computing, playing an important role as the world enters a period of booming research, application and development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). ), internet of things (IoT), big data (Big Data)… Vietnam has great potential to become a new semiconductor center of the world when: there is appropriate human resources with the staff Children are competent in science and mathematics; Domestic technology companies are growing stronger, large international corporations are moving production to Vietnam, gradually training human resources in high-value stages and grasping new technology; The Government has a decision to develop the industry.
Chips are a “new resource” that ensures the development of the electronics industry and digital economy such as: artificial intelligence applications, smart electric vehicles, smart factories, Internet of Things…
After more than 20 years of developing human resources for IC design, Vietnam currently has about 5,000 chip design engineers, while the semiconductor industry needs 10,000 engineers each year and in reality currently only meets less than that. 20%. To develop the semiconductor industry’s workforce to achieve the goal of 50,000 engineers by 2030, close coordination is needed between relevant parties such as the Government, state agencies, large private enterprises and research institutes. research and universities to develop and implement projects.
