First Power-Resistor Prototypes Completed at SAS R&D

Today we finished our first batch of high-temperature power-resistor prototypes at South Asia Semiconductor Limited (SAS). These units 0.5Ω, 1Ω, and 2Ω, roughly 20W class aren’t commercial products. They’re part of our materials and process-control experiments as we work toward a true semiconductor pilot facility in Pakistan.

Here’s what matters.
Building even a simple resistor forces discipline: alloy consistency, coil geometry, thermal stability, insulation quality, measurement accuracy. None of this is glamorous, but it’s how you build the mindset and skills required for real semiconductor fabrication.

Every prototype teaches us something new. Every test helps us understand how materials behave under heat and stress. Step by step, this is the foundation needed for MEMS, discrete devices, and eventually CMOS work.

It’s a small milestone, but it’s ours. And it proves that progress is possible when you stop waiting for ideal conditions and start building with what you have.

More updates soon as we continue developing local components and training capability inside SAS.
