Malaysia Semiconductor Supply Chain

Moving into 2008, Malaysia had succeed to create many cluster toward emerging technologies. In Electronics industry sector, year 2007 has noted investment of more then RM13 billion, RM3 billion more then targeted earlier. This ids due to stability of the nation and constant consultation from various agencies.

One of Malaysia main cluster is Semiconductor. This cluster comprised of companies from USA, Japan, Korea, Europe and more. The supply chain that was dream before now a reality since the whole supporting industry is available locally. From ingots grower to packaging.

Well, even thought the current situation of low trade and investment in first half of 2008, the second half seem to promise more and better inflow.

Sony Ericsson taking over Malaysia market for mobile phone?

During '90s, Malaysia top brand for mobile phone is Nokia since it was the cheapest advance gadget that time (other then military like mobile phone or syrup bottle which you can take to school). Monochrome screen and monophonics sound were the best. "Snake" from Nokia was the attention. The only fun mobile game to kill your waiting time.

But, since Y2K, Motorola start to enter the competition with their product. Sony, Ericsson, Alcatel, Samsung, Siemens and others were introduce. New technology to introduce colour screen and polyphonics sound replace the old technology. By 2002, Motorola emerge with "i moto" theme. User start to look for good quality and multifunctional gadget. Mp3, Radio, Camera and more start to attention. Not long after that, 3G was introduce to the country.

Nowadays, mobile phone is not just for talk or SMS. MMS, Video Call, TV, Internet and more can be done. Everything just on your finger tip.

Telephone + Computer + TV + Video Games + Radio = 2008 mobile technology...

Nokia was no longer a prefer technology since Sony has merge with Ericsson (the best technology for graphic and sound system for mobile products). Even thought, Nokia is the cheapest brand for up-to-date technology, but still consumer prefer others.

Rank for todays favourite brands for mobile phone:

1. Sony Ericsson
2. Samsung
3. Motorola
4. Nokia

(Siemens already out of the market)

What can we expect for future???? This rank is only for mobile phone, not consider PDAs yet where the competition is quite interesting.

Zambia - Create profit here

Zambia, near Zimbabwe.

There is nothing there. A new gold mine to share. Heard of 2012, well, Zambia may be a good place to be. Their authorities is now working hard to promote investment into Zambia. Good offer may be given to starters.....

Lets see what happen....

Passive or Active?

Passive Components

A passive component (depending on field), may either refer to a component that consumes (but does not produce) energy or to a component that is incapable of power gain. (e.g. : resistor, fuse).

Active Components

An active components are those that have gain or directionality, in contrast to passive components, which have neither. They include Semiconductors (Solid State Devices), Transistor, Diode and more.

Electronics dumping field

Hello!

This will be my first try to develop new horizon of thinking level for new generation regarding electronics.

I'll briefly focus on components, devices/equipment, business, preview and more related to these products.

What is electronics?

A study (field) that related to movement of current (electron movement, both forward and backward) and voltage (different of electrical power level between two points) through various type of materials, devices, chemicals and structures. Basically, it is a part of electrical study.

Electronics components and devices?

Electronics components are any physical entity that can manipulate electron movement through it. Combinations of few components will make electronics devices.

Electronics components are divided into two group, passive and active.
Electronics devices also divided into two group, analog and digital.
