This year's SEMICON Taiwan attracted participants from over 20 countries, with more than 600 exhibitors and over 1400 booths, representing a 10% increase in scale compared to last year. This demonstrates Taiwan's significant influence in the semiconductor industry, attracting both technologically advanced nations and emerging players like mainland China, all eager to further collaborate with Taiwanese manufacturers.
I would like to offer several suggestions for the future development of Taiwan's semiconductor industry in the three key areas of wafer fabrication, packaging and testing, and equipment.
Regarding wafer fabrication, Taiwan must maintain continuous investment in advanced processes to preserve its technological edge. TSMC has already developed advanced processes below 16 and 10 nanometers. To surpass competitors like Samsung and Intel, closer collaborative R&D with upstream equipment manufacturers such as Applied Materials and ASML is crucial.
In the area of packaging and testing, with the establishment of the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing trends, miniaturization of embedded chips and memory is essential, making the development of 3DIC technology imperative. This year's SEMICON will host advanced packaging technology and 3DIC technology trend forums, echoing TSMC chairman Morris Chang's statement that the IoT will be the next major driver of the semiconductor industry.
Regarding equipment and materials, Taiwan has historically underinvested in semiconductor materials R&D. It is recommended that the industry increase its efforts in basic semiconductor materials research. Additionally, Taiwan possesses numerous precision machining industries, such as the Precision Machinery Park in Taichung. Even if producing complete machines is initially unfeasible, focusing on components and subsystems and seeking niche markets would be a viable approach.
This year's SEMICON will host its first High-Tech Factory Facilities Forum, spearheaded by the SEMI High-Tech Factory Facilities Committee established last year. Previously, we learned factory construction from foreigners; now, Taiwan's semiconductor factories can become a specialized area of expertise, exported internationally.
Taiwanese semiconductor factories are not only numerous and built quickly, but also designed to withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes, requiring significant technical capabilities. The future export of this expertise will likely contribute to the growth of domestic equipment manufacturers.
