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.

    2019 Corporate Governance Evaluation Results in Taiwan Conducted by the Securities and Futures Institute Entrusted by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation & Taipei Exchange Despite all reasonable care given in the screening process to ensure objectivity, the SFI bears no responsibility in case of any damage or loss incurred from use of the evaluation results. April 30, 2020 2019 Corporate Governance Evaluation Results in Taiwan About the “Corporate Governance Evaluation System” In response to the market need for enhanced corporate governance reforms, the Financial Supervisory Commission ("FSC") issued the "Corporate Governance Roadmap" in December 2013 and the new one in April 2018, aiming to accelerate the implementation of corporate governance among Taiwanese listed companies, assist them with sound development and boost market confidence. According to the roadmaps, the implementation of corporate governance evaluation is one of the major projects with the goal of investors and enterprises better understanding the performance of corporate governance by comparing the evaluation results among companies. In 2014, the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (“TWSE”) and the Taipei Exchange (“TPEx”) launched the “Corporate Governance Evaluation System”, conducted by the Securities and Futures Institute (“SFI”) annually. The FSC believes this evaluation system will make companies take corporate governance more seriously, encourage healthy competition among companies and cultivate a culture that companies voluntarily improve their corporate governance. 2019 is the sixth year of the evaluation and the results have been published on April 30, 2020.The industry differentiation was also taken into account and the evaluation results were released both on a listing market basis and on an industry by industry basis.

  • Micron: NAND Flash Architecture and Specification Trends
    NAND Flash Architecture and Specification Trends Michael Abraham ([email protected]) Applications Engineering Manager Micron Technology, Inc. Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 1 Abstract As NAND Flash continues to shrink, page sizes, block sizes, and ECC requirements are increasing while data retention, endurance, and performance are decreasing. These changes impact systems including random write performance and more. Learn how to prepare for these changes and counteract some of them through improved block management techniques and system design. This presentation also discusses some of the tradeoff myths – for example, the myth that you can directly trade ECC for endurance Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 2 NAND Flash: Shrinking Faster Than Moore’s Law 200 100 Logic 80 DRAM on (nm) ii 60 NAND Resolut 40 Micron 32Gb NAND (34nm) 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Semiconductor International, 1/1/2007 Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 3 Memory Organization Trends Over time, NAND block size is increasing. • Larger page sizes increase sequential throughput. • More pages per block reduce die size. 4,194,304 1,048,576 262,144 65,536 16,384 4,096 1, 024 256 64 16 Block size (B) Data Bytes per Page Pages per Block Santa Clara, CA USA August 2009 4 Consumer-grade NAND Flash: Endurance and ECC Trends Process shrinks lead to less electrons ppgger floating gate.

  • A Brief Introduction to Tsmc
    TSMC commits itself to providing its customers with the best quality and most comprehensive services. LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS Dear Shareholders, Year 2004 was a banner year for TSMC. We again set new records for revenues and earnings, while continuing to lead the semiconductor dedicated foundry sector. Our production accounted for more than 7% of the total value of the world's semi- conductor output. TSMC's performance was anchored in our "Trinity of Strength": strength in technology development and deployment, strength in manufacturing capacity and efficiency, and strength in building customer partnerships. For example: ● TSMC cumulatively shipped over one million wafers (8-inch equivalent) in 0.13-micron technology. SM ● TSMC's Nexsys 90nm, the world's first 12-inch, low-k, 90-nanometer process to reach full production, was adopted in more than 30 customer products after one year's ramp, and achieved product yields ahead of internal goals. ● TSMC served more than 300 customers and produced more than 5,000 products in our fabs. With its core manufacturing and logistics competencies, TSMC's experience in integrating front-end design and back-end turn- key services has helped customers resolve many daunting challenges in advanced chips designed with our 90nm technology. We collaborate closely with customers, enabling them to deliver their products on time and to achieve success in their end markets. Financial Strength and Results TSMC broke new records in both revenues and net income in 2004. Revenue reached NT$255.9 billion, an increase of 26.8% compared with the previous record set in 2003. Net income was NT$92.32 billion, an increase of 95.3% compared with 2003 results, while fully diluted earnings per share were NT$3.97 (US$0.59 per ADS unit), an increase of 96.8 %.

  • 2018, but We Are Not Done by Any Means
    Dear Shareholders, Today, we are pleased to review a year which includes numerous positive fundamental developments. At Himax Technologies, we pride ourselves not only on defending our position as the market leader in our sector, in terms of quality, reliability, and execution, but also on our ability to pair aggressive development aspirations with creating long-term shareholder value. In this regard, we believe we have accomplished a great deal in 2018, but we are not done by any means. 2018 was a year of new developments in our technology sector and our markets. At Himax Technologies, we have successfully leveraged our strengths to navigate both market dynamics as well as company specific opportunities to deliver a solid year of growth for shareholders. Further, we proactively initiated and executed several strategic initiatives to strengthen our operation and streamline R&D investments. We believe these proactive strategies reinforced our status in the marketplace and further strengthened our ability to defend our position as a market leader. Additionally, our execution in 2018 positions us for future growth well beyond 2018. Despite a challenging global economic environment, we are more optimistic about the opportunities ahead as several of our industry-leading technologies are at or nearing key inflection points. As a result, we expect to enter a period of substantial growth in the near future. Now, let me briefly go through each of our major business segments. Being a global leader in the display driver IC (DDIC) segment, we have been benefiting from China’s continued capacity expansion of its panel manufacturing as well as the Chinese smartphone makers’ rapid overseas expansion.
