- Oppstar Berhad is a Malaysia-based integrated circuit (IC) design service provider that delivers turnkey, front-end, and back-end semiconductor design solutions for multinational integrated device manufacturers, fabless design companies, electronic design automation vendors, and original design manufacturers. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Bayan Lepas, Penang, Malaysia, the company specializes in advanced process node technologies ranging from 28-nanometer planar to cutting-edge 3-nanometer FinFET architectures. Oppstar Berhad operates through dedicated semiconductor engineering and design segments, offering comprehensive services that include: turnkey IC design solutions covering full-flow development from system architecture design and specification to tape-out, foundry liaison, and post-silicon validation; front-end IC design services encompassing register-transfer level (RTL) design, logic synthesis, design-for-test (DFT) insertion, and functional verification; back-end IC design services comprising physical floorplanning, placement and routing (P&R), clock tree synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), physical verification (DRC/LVS), and design-for-manufacturing (DFM); analog and mixed-signal design services specializing in high-speed input/output (I/O) interfaces, phase-locked loops (PLLs), and power management units; post-silicon validation services including wafer-level characterization, automated test equipment (ATE) test pattern generation, and board-level bring-up; and embedded software and firmware development for integrated microcontrollers and system-on-chip (SoC) architectures. The company provides design solutions tailored for complex applications across artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), telecommunications, 5G networking infrastructure, automotive electronics, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Oppstar Berhad serves clients across Malaysia, Singapore, Greater China, Japan, Taiwan, Europe, and the United States through its principal operating subsidiaries, including Oppstar Technology Sdn. Bhd., Oppstar Microelectronics Sdn. Bhd., and regional entities in China, Japan, and India. In recent corporate developments, following its initial public offering on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia, Oppstar Berhad has actively executed multi-regional expansion strategies to scale engineering talent and regional client support. Within the last two years, the company established and expanded overseas design centers in Japan, India, and Greater China, strengthening its regional service delivery footprint. Additionally, Oppstar Berhad expanded its strategic technical collaborations with leading semiconductor foundries and design tool vendors, broadening its core service portfolio to support advanced multi-die chiplet integration, open-standard RISC-V processor architectures, and specialized automotive application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designs certified to ISO 26262 functional safety standards.
