In 2018, the optical wafer inspection segment held the largest wafer inspection equipment market, accounting for over 82% of the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe optical wafer segment will continue to be the biggest until at least 2023-2024. We plan to sell the equipment at about US$500,000 per unit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Besides television, optical wafers are used in smartphones, laptops, and other consumer electronic predictors. \u201cOur test inspection equipment can check defects on 200mm and 300mm wafers,\u201d Sia added.<\/p>\n<p>Sia said the group expected to inject around RM7mil to RM8mil in early 2021 for this new business segment. \u201cIn the first year, it can generate about 25% of the revenue. In three years, it will be able to contribute perhaps half of the group\u2019s revenue,\u201d Sia added.<\/p>\n<p>Sia said the global pandemic had fuelled the demand for laptops, smartphones, and televisions. \u201cBecause of Covid-19, the majority of the global population today relies on laptops and smartphones do their tasks remotely. This is the reason why the volume of shipment is rising rapidly,\u201d Sia said.<\/p>\n<p>On the performance of the group for the 2020 financial year, Sia said the group\u2019s revenue and profit are expecting a contraction of close to 40%. \u201cIn the second half, our sales of test equipment to contractors making Apple 5G-enabled smartphones for our test equipment will help to mitigate the negative impact of the global pandemic on the group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have already delivered several of such test equipment priced at US$800,000 per unit,\u201d Sia said.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com.my\/business\/business-news\/2020\/09\/14\/mms-ventures-to-go-into-wafers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Star<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;120px&#8221; el_class=&#8221;height-x120&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"events-time-box\">\n<h2>14<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>Mon<\/p>\n<p>September \u201820<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":5119,"featured_media":29604,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[316],"tags":[],"news_year":[274],"news_month":[227],"local_insights_alphabet":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40622"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5119"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40622"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40622\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40637,"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40622\/revisions\/40637"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40622"},{"taxonomy":"news_year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_year?post=40622"},{"taxonomy":"news_month","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news_month?post=40622"},{"taxonomy":"local_insights_alphabet","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/investpenang.gov.my\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/local_insights_alphabet?post=40622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
