HCMCity (VNA) – The Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM)and US technology enterprise Synopsys signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU)on March 15 to enhance the VNU-HCM’s semiconductor training and researchcapacity.

Amongthe five cooperation areas under the MoU, Synopsys, one of the world’s leading electronicdesign automation (EDA) companies, will share training textbooks and licensethe use of chip design tools and software for VNU-HCM students. It will receivestudents for internships and introduce job opportunities at domestic andforeign businesses for semiconductor engineers graduating from this school.

TheUS enterprise will assist the VNU-HCM to train young lecturers in semiconductordesign via a short-term course named “Train-the-Trainer”. Lecturers from theuniversity will work at Synopsys in four months to improve their knowledge. TheVNU-HCM has sent three lecturers from its University of Technology (HCMUT), Universityof Science (HCMUS), and University of Information Technology (UIT) to the firstcourse.

In addition, the two sides will work together to develop the VNU-HCM Semiconductor Research Institute (VSRI) into asupplier of training and research laboratories for universities and startups,and a connection centre for semiconductor development between the VNU-HCM andbusinesses, institutes, and colleges of Vietnam and other countries.

Synopsyswill help the VNU-HCM connect with its global partners so that Vietnamese sidecan supply high-quality manpower for them. It will also encourage its partnersto build research and development centres at the VNU-HCM.

Datafrom Synopsys show that about 53% of the engineers working at chip designcompanies in Vietnam graduated from member universities of the VNU-HCM.

Theschool is training about 6,000 students in the branches directly or indirectlyrelated to semiconductor technology. It aims to train more than 1,800 engineersand 500 master’s degree holders in chip design and establish the VSRI by 2030.

In2024, the VNU-HCM is set to open the training branches of chip design andsemiconductor technology at the three abovementioned member universities. It willalso invest about 80 billion VND (3.2 million USD) in two new semiconductorlaboratories at the HCMUS and the UIT. A similar laboratory took shape at the HCMUTin 2018./.
