Abstract

The main theme of the talk is focused on how Taiwan become No. 1 in the semiconductor foundry business, which maybe depending on the followings: Established a strong fundamental base of semiconductor science and technology among universities. Established a strong base for semiconductor manufactory. Established a very successful business model, now a day is called “Fabless-Foundry Model” of semiconductor, which did not happened before. Now a day, the momentum is still continuing, including successful implement of 14nm FINFETs for production and working toward 10nm/7nm/5nm FINFETs. Finally, Prof. Chun will address the most important theme, which is “Education with Active Learning”.

Bio

Prof. Chun Yen Chang Graduated from EE department of National Cheng Kung University in 1960 with BS degree, the electronics institute of National Chiao-Tung University in 1962 with MS degree, and in 1970 with PhD degree. He and his Colleagues, at National Chiao-Tung University (NCTU), Taiwan, successfully fabricated the first Si Planar Transistor in 1964, MOSFET in 1966 and LED in 1970, which was regarded as the earliest and the foundation of Taiwan Semiconductor Research in Taiwan. In 2001, he and his colleagues proposed and founded the National SOC/SIP Program , in order to promote the national competitiveness of system on chip design capabilities. This program has attracted and recruited 340 world classexperts. The impact was reflected by the number of papers contributed from Taiwan in ISSCC   was from nothing to No.3 in the world since 2004. He is now the Life-Long National Endowed Chair Professor of the Nation and at NCTU. The Life Fellow of IEEE.
