The 46th anniversary of National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST) is approaching. Photonics Industry & Technology Development Association (PIDA) and the Office of Industry-Academia Collaboration of NTUST jointly organized the “Conference of the Application of Silicon Photonics and 5G Semiconductor Materials” on March 18, inviting domestic and foreign manufacturers, experts, and scholars to attend. The conference has brought the industry, government, academia, and research together and hopefully to achieve a higher level of industry-academia interaction.
On the event, President Jia-Yush Yen, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology mentioned that NTUST has been the driving forces of various industries. The university cultivates and responds to the needs of the industries of the semiconductor and materials. Through teaching and industry-academia cooperation, the school has been cultivating key talents for optoelectronics and semiconductor industries. It is also expected that by industry-academia cooperation, industrial resources and the abundant academic research resource can be connected to continuously develop advanced technology and cultivate talents so that academia and industries can create the blueprint for the future together.
Attendees from manufacturers include KLA, CMC Materials, EPISIL Technologies Inc., WINSHENG MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY(WMT), Latent Technologies Inc., SPEEDFAM Inc., and other well-known companies have shared industrial trends, such as silicon photonics technique, 5G/B5G materials, silicon carbide (SiC) polishing and grinding processing technique. Dr. Shih-Hsiang Hsu, Distinguished Professor Chao-Chang A. Chen, and Distinguished Professor Huang-Jen Chiu from NTUST also shared the latest research achievements and industry-academia cooperation experiences. It is hoped that the industry and academia will continuously collaborate in the future to develop advanced techniques of innovative application technology and business opportunities, enhance Taiwan's technological competitiveness and cultivate higher level of professionals.
As far as the semiconductor industry in Taiwan is concerned, it has a fairly complete industrial supply chain. Owing to the demand for key scientific and technological talents in the industry, NTUST adjusts R&D and teaching pace to meet the industry's needs. The university will continue to cultivate key talents in various industries, hoping to integrate industrial and academic research resources through industry-academia cooperation and enhance the competitiveness of the industries and talents of Taiwan.
