Preface This Overview on Taiwan Semiconductor Industry is a translated excerpt from an ITIS (Industrial Technology Information Services) publication, which provides an overview of Taiwan semiconductor industry in 2019. Also included is a directory of Taiwan semiconductor companies. These data should be valuable to those who wish to establish business relationship in Taiwan. ITIS is a market research project, which is supported primarily by the Taiwan government. For semiconductor portion of the project, research was conducted in Industrial Economics & Knowledge Center of Industrial Technology Research Institute (IEK/ITRI). Since the establishment of the Electronics Research and Service Organization of the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ERSO/ITRI) in early 1970’s and its successive spin-offs of UMC and TSMC in 1980’s, the semiconductor industry in Taiwan has been growing at a fast pace. Currently TSIA represents approximately 74.6% of worldwide IC foundry revenue, 56.5% of worldwide package and testing revenue, and 18.8% of worldwide design revenue. As the industry gains significant role in the global market place, information about Taiwan semiconductor industry is desirable worldwide. TSIA hopes this Overview on Taiwan Semiconductor Industry will serve as a useful reference for our global friends who seek to establish a closer connection with Taiwan semiconductor companies. We welcome your comments. 3 II.

Fig. 1 Unique Infrastructure in Taiwan (2019) 5 IC Fabless Companies There were 238 design houses in Taiwan (Table 3) in 2019. Driven by the growing demand for AIoT, Touch/Display Integration (TDDI) IC and TWS, Taiwan IC design revenue was $692.8 billion, an 8.0% increase from the previous year. Taiwan still follows behind the US as the world’s second strongest presence in this field, and accounts for 18.8% of worldwide IC design market. That percentage is expected to raise up to 19.3% in 2020, continuing to benefit from the US-China trade war. Taiwan IC design companies invested NT$125.5 billion in R&D in 2019, which represented 18.1% of total Taiwan fabless revenue. The R&D expense is expected to increase to NT$128.0 billion in 2020.
