Dr. Kalaya Udomvitid, Deputy Executive Director of NECTEC, was a Thailand representative attended the 51st Meeting of the ASEAN Sub-Committee on Microelectronics and Information Technology (SCMIT-51) on 16 October 2023 at Bohol, the Philippines.

The Meeting was attended by delegates from Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR., Malaysia (online), Myanmar, the Philippines, and Vietnam.

The meeting agreed and confidence that SCMIT would be an important sub-committee for ASEAN Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation (COSTI) under the current global trend of digital transformation in which digital technology within SCMIT’s expertise is the key. SCMIT should contribute and collaborate actively to move ASEAN’s microelectronics and ICT forward through sharing, accelerating, and strengthening regional collaboration.

In this connection, Dr. Kalaya presented the progress of Thailand National AI Strategy.

Furthermore, Thailand proposed project “ASEAN-EU Workshop on AI Ecosystem” of which it has been supported by the meeting. Thailand also proposed project  “Learning technologies with KidBright Platform” and it has been endorsed by the meeting. These 2 projects will be a new initiatives to SCMIT.

More than that, the meeting discussed on the plans of SCMIT which included:

  1. National initiatives which can be elevated to the ASEAN Level.
  2. Developing ASEAN’s Capabilities in industry 4.0, IOT and SMART Technology
  3. 5G and Beyond
  4. Artificial intelligence and advanced commuting
  5. Manufacturing on semiconductors

All SCMIT focal points put strong effort to be the core sub-committee under COSTI and no left one behind in the digital transformation in the region.

Thai Microelectronics Center (TMEC) is a research unit under National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC). TMEC core technology is the silicon process technology focusing on silicon sensor and electronic device research and development. TMEC comprises 3 research teams of different key activities as follows:

  1. Silicon Industrial Fabrication Research Team (SIFRT) with their key roles in research and development in Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS), Chemical and bio-sensor platform based on Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET) Technology, and wafer-level sensor prototyping and small volume production
  2. Design, Simulation, Characterization, and Circuit Design Research Team (DSCRT) basically sustains the product and innovation through research and development with the aid of simulation and characterization of new sensors and electronic devices. DSCRT also supports wafer level and chip level testing services and facilities to the other teams.
  3. Surface and Microfluidic Device Innovation Research Team (SMD-1RT) pushes forward TMEC prototypes into commercial products by collaborating with all sectors locally and internationally. The present targets are automated medical screening system with Lab on Disc and Large area Super-hydrophobic film for medical and undersea applications.
