Sarawak Eyes Heat-Free Light-Splitting Semiconductor Chip
-
Sarawak says it is moving closer to producing a new semiconductor chip that can split light without generating heat.
Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the chip is part of Sarawak's push into the new economy and advanced semiconductor work.
He said Sarawak is developing a gallium nitride-based chip, a material he described as better than silicon for this purpose. The design work, he added, is being handled by Sarawakian talent.
Abang Johari also said Sarawak is working on the world's first storage disk using a glass substrate instead of silicon.
Why it matters
This is not just another factory announcement. If the plan moves as described, Sarawak wants to be known for designing high-value tech products, not only hosting industrial projects.
Location: Kuching / Sarawak
Details: Abang Johari spoke at the Tanjong Lobang College Alumni Association Charity Dinner in Kuching on July 11.
