Introduction
The Academy of Innovative Semiconductor and Sustainable Manufacturing was the first to launch at a university in Taiwan to address the nation’s high-tech talent constraints and the imperative for advancing semiconductor technology during the AI era. With support from NCKU’s well-established research foundation in science and engineering, the Academy also strives to align the university-based R&D work closer to industry needs by allowing greater flexibility in academic infrastructure in faculty hiring of industry experts, budgeting, research, and training formats. The five degree programs are on Integrated Circuit Design, Semiconductor Process Technology, Semiconductor Packaging and Testing, Key Materials, and Smart and Sustainable Manufacturing, covering the whole spectrum of the semiconductor industry. The programs aim at educating future talents with a core value on “data-driven & energy-sensitive” competency to help students strive in the highly competitive semiconductor industry.
2022 Innovative Semiconductor Summer School has a total of 55 students participating, including 33 foreign students, from five countries, and all levels. With highly positive feedback, the Academy aims to provide this course annually for students who are interested in knowing this fundamentally important semiconductor industry. The mission is to enhance technology literacy and blend in the society in an era of chips and automation.

TSMC-Newcomer Training Center(NTC) - 1 Day Program
The program arranges a 1 Day Program hosted by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Center (TSMC) at its Newcomer Training Center in Taichung. It’s an intensive course delivered by the research experts of TSMC.
TSMC, the first pure integrated circuit (IC) foundry in the world, provides manufacturing services for advanced ICs for the world market. Its NTC located in Taichung provides an integrated environment for practical operation and enhances the cultivation of quality talents to a large extent. Overall, this onsite visit is to provide comprehensive learning with the guidance of Taiwan’s top industry experts for international and Taiwanese students of the program.
TSRI-Lab Tour
(TSRI) under the National Applied Research Laboratories (NARLabs) is a consolidation of the National Chip Implementation Center (CIC) and National Nano Device Laboratories (NDL). An integrated research environment for related fields of study in Taiwan is urgently required to enhance the overall cultivation of quality talents in response to the introduction of the 3-nm node; rapid development of new applications. In so doing, it aims to provide a comprehensive range of verification services for semiconductor devices, circuits, and system integration and create an open information and service platform for semiconductor industry.
