This year's SEMICON Taiwan attracted participants from over 20 countries, with more than 600 exhibitors and over 1400 booths. The scale grew by 10% compared to last year, demonstrating Taiwan's significant influence in the semiconductor industry. Technologically advanced nations, and emerging players like mainland China, all hope to further exchange with Taiwanese manufacturers.
I would like to offer several suggestions for the future development of Taiwan's semiconductor industry in three key areas: wafer fabrication, packaging and testing, and equipment.
Regarding wafer fabrication, Taiwan must maintain continuous investment in advanced processes to preserve its technological advantage. 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 necessary.
In the area of packaging and testing, with the establishment of the Internet of Things and cloud computing trends, miniaturization of embedded chips and memory is crucial, making the development of 3DIC technology essential. This year's SEMICON will host advanced packaging technology and 3DIC technology trend forums, echoing TSMC chairman Morris Chang's statement that the Internet of Things will be the next major driver of the semiconductor industry.
As for equipment and materials, Taiwan has historically done less R&D in semiconductor materials. It is recommended that the industry increase its efforts in basic semiconductor material research. Additionally, Taiwan has many precision machining industries, such as the precision machinery park in Taichung. Even if they cannot initially produce complete machines, they can start with components and subsystems and seek niche markets to enter.
This year's SEMICON will host its first high-tech factory facility forum, spearheaded by the SEMI High-Tech Factory Facility Committee established last year. In the past, foreigners taught us how to build factories; 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 need to withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes, requiring considerable technical strength. If this expertise can be effectively transferred, it will contribute to the rise of domestic equipment manufacturers in Taiwan.
