The Taiwan government has recently unveiled a comprehensive list of 22 National Core Critical Technologies. This initiative aims to enhance national security and uphold the nation's competitive edge in various sectors, including defense, space exploration, agriculture, semiconductors, and cybersecurity. Within the realm of semiconductors, Taiwan places a strong emphasis on its leadership in advanced manufacturing processes, particularly those with a feature size of 14 nanometers or smaller. This includes IC manufacturing technology and essential materials, gases, and equipment. Additionally, heterogeneous integration packaging technology, which encompasses wafer-level packaging and silicon photonics integration packaging technology, along with their specialized materials and equipment, is recognized as a National Core Critical Technology. Furthermore, Taiwan acknowledges the critical importance of information security and has included technologies such as chip security, post-quantu
Taiwan's government has given the green light to the ambitious "Chip-driven Taiwan Industrial Innovation Initiative(shorten as Chips innovate Taiwan Initiative)," a four-year plan designed to bolster the country's semiconductor industry. With a planned investment of NT$300billion (approximately US$10 billion) over the next decade, starting with an initial budget of NT$12 billion (around US$ 0.4 billion) in its first year, the program aims to propel Taiwan's semiconductor sector to global leadership. In a highly competitive global semiconductor landscape, where countries are offering subsidies and tax incentives to attract semiconductor investments, Taiwan is gearing up to solidify its leading position in semiconductor industry. Recently, amendments were made to the "Industrial Innovation Act" in Taiwan to expand investment incentives. The Semiconductor-Driven Taiwan Initiative outlines four key strategies to achieve its objectives: Fostering Innovation t
