Executive Brief
TURNED-E! Education is an HKSTP-incubated edu-tech firm specializing in the "Semtron" FPGA chip engineering curriculum. They provide a vertical learning path (K-12 to Tertiary) that covers binary logic, FPGA programming, PCB fabrication, and hardware engineering. They serve as a critical talent pipeline for the Hong Kong semiconductor ecosystem, bridging the gap between theoretical STEAM and practical electronic engineering.
Strategic Fit & Lead Score
Lead Score: 52 (General Engineering / Educational Ecosystem)
Why this Score? While TURNED-E! is not a direct industrial consumer of MPCVD diamond, they are the primary influence point for the next generation of semiconductor engineers. As the industry shifts from Silicon (Si) to Wide Bandgap (WBG) materials like GaN and Diamond to solve thermal and power density issues, their "Semtron" curriculum risks obsolescence if it remains limited to legacy materials. 6C can provide the "Future Materials" layer to their advanced FPGA and hardware courses.
6C Solutions Proposal
| Application Area | 6C Solution | Technical Value Prop |
|---|---|---|
| Curriculum Expansion | Diamond Semiconductor Module | Integrate 6C process recipes and material science into Level 5-6 courses to teach students about "The Ultimate Semiconductor." |
| STEAM Learning Kits | Physical Diamond Samples | Provide industrial-grade PCD (Polycrystalline) or SCD (Single Crystal) samples as "Future Material" artifacts for their hardware engineering kits. |
| Advanced Workshops | MPCVD Process Simulation | Offer high-level workshops for tertiary students on how MPCVD reactors grow the substrates that enable high-power FPGA performance. |
| Thermal Management | Diamond Heat Spreader Demo | A tactile "Ice Melting" demo using 6C Diamond vs. Copper to teach students about thermal conductivity (2000 W/mK) in chip design. |
| System Visibility | H2 & Plasma Tech | Educate hardware students on the infrastructure (9N H2 Generators) required for high-purity semiconductor manufacturing. |
Engagement Hooks
- Technical Question: "Your Level 6 students are mastering FPGA chip drivers; are they currently learning how to manage the extreme thermal densities (exceeding 1kW/cm2) that modern high-performance chips encounter, and where Diamond is the only viable solution?"
- Value Statement: "6C can upgrade the 'Semtron' curriculum with real-world material science, providing your students with access to the diamond technologies that are currently redefining the limits of FPGA performance and power electronics."
