SEMICON Taiwan 2022 Technology Elite Leader President: Let Taiwan's semiconductor industry reach a new peak

總統蔡英文今天表示，半導體產業是打造台灣成為全球經濟主力計畫的核心，將在產官學研共同合作下，培育人才、開發技術，以維持在此領域的戰略優勢。她相信，藉由整個產業鏈的眾多企業，將能運用科技發展趨勢，讓台灣半導體產業再創高峰。

蔡總統晚間出席「SEMICON Taiwan 2022 科技菁英領袖晚宴」以英文致詞表示，國際半導體展今年邁入第27屆，持續促進合作，並凸顯最新的產業趨勢與機會，不只對台灣而言是重要的活動，也是全球半導體產業進步成長的關鍵驅動力。

她說，今年國際半導體展是自1995年舉辦以來最盛大的，參展廠商超過700家，攤位超過2400個，加上台灣半導體產業去年產值成長26.7%的出色表現，顯示未來會更好。

總統說，半導體產業在近期面臨前所未見的全球挑戰下，持續蓬勃發展，其中包括供應鏈面臨的不確定因素。新的挑戰至今仍不斷出現，使局勢更為不穩定。政府將一如過往，與產業界密切合作，以度過這個充滿挑戰的時刻。台灣一次次展現可以克服困難，並確保國內半導體產業維持世界領先地位的彈性和韌性。

總統表示，台灣擁有最完整的半導體生態體系、位居全球第一的晶圓代工與封測業，以及排名第二的IC設計業。在尖端晶片方面，台灣也處於領先地位。台灣生產全球70%的7奈米以下晶片，並且走在2奈米製程研發的前端。

她說，政府持續鼓勵及促進對國內半導體產業的投資，以維持其卓越的成就。很高興看到國內封測大廠矽品，宣布投資超過30億美元在台灣中部設廠。今年7月，她也參觀了令人印象深刻的美光台中新廠。

總統表示，希望這些新廠房和設備，還有近來包括台積電、南亞科技、力積電，以及德國半導體材料大廠默克（Merck）等國內外廠商的投資，將創造優質工作機會，並進一步鞏固台灣的產業聚落。

她說，為了投資這項關鍵產業的未來，政府和大學與私部門合作，成立了幾所半導體學院，致力培育更多人才，提高研發能力，以確保產業的永續發展。

總統表示，政府持續與產業合作，以促進創新，將半導體技術推向極致，半導體產業是打造台灣成為全球經濟主力計畫的核心，將在產官學研共同合作下，培育人才、開發技術，以維持台灣在此領域的戰略優勢。

總統說明，半導體是未來科技的核心，無論是人工智慧、新世代通訊、電動車、自動駕駛以及智慧製造等，都需倚賴各家企業生產的晶片。相信藉由整個產業鏈的眾多企業，將能運用科技發展趨勢，讓台灣半導體產業再創高峰。（中央社記者溫貴香台北14日電 編輯：謝佳珍）1110914

President Tsai Ing-wen said today that the semiconductor industry is the core of the plan to make Taiwan a major force in the global economy. Under the joint cooperation of industry, government, academia and research, it will cultivate talents and develop technologies to maintain its strategic advantage in this field. She believes that with many companies in the entire industry chain, they will be able to use technology development trends to make Taiwan's semiconductor industry reach a new peak.

President Tsai delivered a speech in English at the "SEMICON Taiwan 2022 Technology Elite Leaders Dinner" in the evening, saying that the International Semiconductor Exhibition will enter its 27th year this year, continue to promote cooperation, and highlight the latest industry trends and opportunities, which are not only important to Taiwan It is also a key driving force for the progress and growth of the global semiconductor industry.

She said that this year's International Semiconductor Exhibition is the largest since it was held in 1995. There are more than 700 exhibitors and more than 2,400 booths. Coupled with the excellent performance of Taiwan's semiconductor industry's output value growth of 26.7% last year, it shows that the future will be better.

The president said the semiconductor industry continues to thrive amid unprecedented global challenges in the recent past, including supply chain uncertainties. New challenges continue to emerge to this day, making the situation even more unstable. As always, the government will work closely with industry to navigate this challenging time. Taiwan has demonstrated time and again the resilience and resilience that can overcome difficulties and ensure that the domestic semiconductor industry maintains its world-leading position.

The president said that Taiwan has the most complete semiconductor ecosystem, the world's largest foundry and packaging and testing industry, and the second largest IC design industry. When it comes to cutting-edge wafers, Taiwan is also in the lead. Taiwan produces 70% of the world's wafers below 7nm and is at the forefront of 2nm process research and development.

She said the government continued to encourage and promote investment in the domestic semiconductor industry to maintain its outstanding achievements. It is great to see Sipin, a major domestic packaging and testing company, announce that it has invested more than US$3 billion to set up a factory in central Taiwan. In July of this year, she also visited the impressive new Taichung factory of Micron.

The President expressed the hope that these new plants and equipment, as well as recent investments from domestic and foreign manufacturers including TSMC, Nanya Technology, NSMC, and German semiconductor material giant Merck, will create high-quality job opportunities and further consolidate Industrial clusters in Taiwan.

In order to invest in the future of this key industry, the government and universities, in cooperation with the private sector, have established several semiconductor colleges, dedicated to nurturing more talents and enhancing R&D capabilities to ensure the sustainable development of the industry, she said.

The president said that the government will continue to cooperate with the industry to promote innovation and push semiconductor technology to the extreme. The semiconductor industry is the core of the plan to make Taiwan a major force in the global economy. To maintain Taiwan's strategic advantage in this field.

The President explained that semiconductors are the core of future technology. Whether it is artificial intelligence, next-generation communications, electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and smart manufacturing, they all rely on chips produced by various companies. It is believed that many companies in the entire industry chain will be able to use the technology development trend to make Taiwan's semiconductor industry reach a new peak.
