Annual Report 2008
HSINCHU SCIENCE PARK
Preface
Established in 1980, the Hsinchu Science Park (HSP) has gone
through 28 years of development and created a specialized
technology industry cluster with global reputation. In addition to
elevating high-tech industries in Taiwan, the HSP has helped create
numerous cutting edge technologies and products. As the
powerhouse of global high-tech industries, the HSP has not only
created a number of high-tech miracles but also cultivated
diversified high-tech talent, integrated R&D resources, and solidified
domestic high-tech industry competence.
According to the latest "Global Competitiveness Report (GCR)"
released by the World Economic Forum (WEF), Taiwan ranked the
first place in the category "State of Cluster Development" for three
consecutive years (2006-2008). The Hsinchu Science Park has become
a remarkable model for many other nations, with its development
process regarded as a success story for "Turning Silicon into Gold."
The Hsinchu Science Park is renowned for its innovative hightech industry cluster, where semiconductor industry plays the key
role. Revenue generated from semiconductor manufacturers at the
HSP accounts for 70% of the Park's total revenues, approximately half
are involved in semiconductor-related industries, e.g. wafer
fabrication, IC design, packing and testing, materials, equipment
manufacturing, etc. Owing to sound and mature semiconductor
industry cluster, related products can be closely and effectively
integrated from R&D to mass production. Additionally, the chain has
also actively promoted establishment of 100~200 related
manufacturers, demonstrating the linking effect yielded by science
park innovation industry clusters to industry development as a
whole. The semiconductor industry is expected to dominate the
main stream of Taiwan's high-tech industries in coming decades.
All sectors within the TFT-LCD industry exhibited a steady
growth at HSP in 2008, e.g. mask, backlight module, and driving IC
in the upper-stream and TFT-LCD, OLED, systematic TV, LCD projector,
LCD monitor, and digital camera in the mid-stream, with AUO,
InnoLux, TPO, and Wistron being positioned to help construct a
comprehensive optoelectronics industry chain at the HSP.
More solar energy manufacturers are rapidly relocating to the HSP due to active national and
international development of solar energy industry. Solar energy manufacturers, such as DelSolar Co.,
Ltd., Neo Solar Power Corporation and Gintech Energy Corporation, and solar energy materials
suppliers, such as SAS, Wafer Works Corp., CN-J Technology Co., Ltd., (the Japanese solar energy system)
and Archers System, Inc. (solar energy equipment manufacturer), are also stationed in HSP to
construct a comprehensive structure for the solar energy industry upstream and downstream supply
chains. The solar energy industry cluster effect as a whole in Taiwan is expected to form in near future.
To solidify domestic biomedical industry, the "Hsinchu Biomedical Science Park," is currently in
business recruiting stage and focuses on development of new drugs and medical equipment. The
Hsinchu Biomedical Science Park incorporates a wide variety of facilities, e.g. biomedical standard fabs,
a incubation center, an quarantine center, and a medical center. Development of the Hsinchu
Biomedical Science Park will certainly help domestic biomedical industry cluster formation.
Success of the HSP industry cluster relies on an excellent investment environment, which
includes infrastructure, one-stop services, excellent talent and culture, innovative R&D, and a
mechanism for collaboration between industry and academia. This environment is generating a
chain reaction to help HSP manufacturers in saving logistics cost, creating added value, and
upgrading global competitiveness.
I have witnessed the prosperous development of the HSP for fifteen years since I reported to
duty in June 1993 as the Director, Deputy Director General, and then the Director General of the
Science Park Administration. Hsinchu City has been developed from a historical city to a diversified
city that combines high technology, culture, and tradition. Thanks to the contribution of the HSP for
helping the residents of Hsinchu City enjoy a high disposable household income, second only to that
of residents of Taipei City, and the highest consumption ability in Taiwan.
For future prospect, I will try my best to provide the best services for Park tenants and I will ask
my colleagues to keep the following four points in mind while carrying out businesses: (1) sustainable
self-learning & growth, (2) simplification of administrative procedures, (3) enhancement of customer
satisfaction, and (4) financial structure improvement, in an eye to substantiate industrial structure of
science and technology, reinforce R&D energy, promote stable and integrated productivity, and build
up the HSP as an excellent science park and a driver of economic development in Taiwan.

The HSP strives to establish a humane environment with
The Science Park Administration, is the administrative center of the park, which
elements of R&D, production, work, living, and entertainment. The
park also aims to attract high-tech talent, introduce high-tech
technology, establish a base for high-tech industry development,
and upgrade domestic industries. The government has so far
invested NT$79.6 billion in hardware and software construction at
the HSP since its establishment in 1980.
The Hsinchu Science Park governs five satellite parks at present,
including Jhunan Park, Tunglou Park, Longtan Park, Hsinchu
Biomedical Science Park, and Yilan Science Park, with a total land
area of 1,373 hectares. Hsinchu, Jhunan, and Longtan Science Parks
are currently in operation. As of the end of 2008, the HSP contained
430 high-tech companies and 130,577 employees. Annual sales
revenue reached NT$ 1.008 trillion and paid-in capital totaled
NT$ 1.14 trillion.
The HSP is located in northwest Taiwan encompassing districts
of Hsinchu City and Hsinchu County. Academic and research
institutes, e.g. ITRI, National Tsing Hua University, and National
Chaio Tung University, are located nearby, providing the HSP with
ample human resources, on-job training chances for employees, and
collective research facilities. Besides the National Synchrotron
Radiation Research Center, the National Applied Research
Laboratories are also located at the HSP, including the National
Center for High-Performance Computing, the National Space
Organization, the National Chip Implementation Center, National

or university related institutes in the U.S. Furthermore, the Asia-based Asian Science
Park Association (ASPA) currently has more than 40 members. Based on membership of
the above organizations, there are currently over 500 science parks globally. Each park
association frequently convenes seminars and training programs, provides a platform for
experience exchange between newly established and developed parks and encourages
inter-park collaboration. In early 21st Century, programs and assistance provided by
these associations have enabled many emerging nations to develop their own science
parks, e.g. Nigeria in Africa, Iran and the United Arab Emirates in Middle East, Thailand
and Vietnam in Asia, etc.
Comparing to other well-known overseas science parks, key characteristics of the
Hsinchu Science Park include infrastructure construction and investment; support from
research organizations, institutes and universities for the development of industrial
technologies; a contact network for industry, government, academia, and research
organizations inside and outside the Hsinchu Science Park; and the provision of
II. Development of Science Parks in Taiwan
I. Development Status of Global Science Parks
Since the Stanford University Science Park was established in California of the
United States in 1950, science parks have been established consequently worldwide.
This successful business model was duplicated throughout the United States in the
1960's, in Europe in 1970's, and then globally during subsequent decades. The effort
of constructing science parks has become the trend in Asia since 1980s and a science
park has become one of the most attractive regional development models used in local
economic and industrial reconstruction.
10
Success of science parks results from the way of academic resources integration,
technology innovation, and efficient capital utilization. According to the classification
method proposed by Dr. Castel and Dr. Howard, professors at UC, Berkeley, USA,
management models for global hi-tech parks can be divided into four types: type 1 parks
act as an industrial complex (including universities, enterprises, and incubation centers)
used to form hi-tech industry clusters. Typical examples of this type of science park
are Silicon Valley and Boston Route 128 in the U.S. Type 2 parks are science cities with
administrative features, e.g. the former Siberian Science City in Russia, Daedeok in South
Korea, and Tsukuba in Japan. Moreover, type 3 parks are mainly technology parks, such
as Sophia Antipolis in France and Cambridge in the United Kingdom. Finally, type 4 parks
resemble type 2 parks, which are state-run, such as "High Technology City" in Japan.
Currently, certain international organizations are developing platforms for
experience exchange among global science parks, including the Europe-based
International Association of Science Parks (IASP), which is headquartered in Spain
and has more than 349 global members from 71 countries. Another is the U.S.-based
Association of University Research Parks (AURP), which is headquartered in Arizona
U.S.A., It has 200 members from 13 countries, 90% of AURP members are research parks
The policy of Taiwan in relation to science park development is to create ideal parks
that not only emphasize the importance of production, lifestyle, development, ecology,
and life but also consider environmental protection, economic scale, and e-commerce.
High-tech industries are taken as a development pivot for actively increasing high-tech
industry clustering and developing a high-tech innovation cluster consistent to local
needs and sustainable development practices.
Overview

Currently there are three major domestic science parks and eight satellite science
parks, located in northern, central, and southern Taiwan, (as revealed in Figure 1,) and
attracting more than NT$ 3 trillion of investment. The annual sales revenue of the Hsinchu
Science Park accounts for almost 10% of the total sales revenue of domestic manufacturing
industry, with its technology competitiveness being the key to this achievement.
Currently, the HSP governs five satellite parks, i.e. the Jhunan Park, the Tongluo Park,
the Longtan Park, the Hsinchu Biomedical Science Park, and the Yilan Park, with a total
development area of more than 1,373 hectares. The CTSP includes the Taichung Park, the
Huwei Park, the Houli park, and the Erlin Park, with a total area about 1,481 hectares. The
STSP includes the Tainan Park and the Kaohsiung Park, with an area about 1,608 hectares.
The total area of the above 12 parks exceeds 4,462 hectares.

HSINCHU SCIENCE PARK
(I) Power Supply
HSP power consumption
is currently 1.1 million kilowatt
( Ta b l e 2 ) a n d i s e x p e c t e d t o
ultimately reach 1.5 million
kilowatt. To ensure the power stability throughout the HSP and to prevent poweroffs, the Science Park Administration has commissioned scholars, professionals, the
Taiwan Power Company, and representatives from the Association of Industries in the
HSP, to form the HSP Power Supply Quality Improvement Advisory Committee and
Implementation Team, to provide Park firms with consultation services regarding power
use safety, power supply, and management systems; to assist in power use education
and training; and to host an event dealing with "Consulting and Demonstration of
Power Safety Inspection". During 2008, 12 instances of consultation and three of
demonstrations of the power safety inspection were conducted, and Implementation
Team Meetings on "Power Safety and Quality Improvement" were held quarterly. To
improve power supply quality and to enhance the power supply reliability at the HSP,
Taipower undertook a series of remodeling and new construction of HSP substations.
The improvement works include making the Longshan Secondary Substation (located
at the HSP Phase II area) the primary distribution substation, a modification that was
added to the system in December 2008. New construction of the Longmei Primary
Distribution Substation (located in the HSP Phase III area) was included in the system
in June 2007, and new construction of the Chuyuan Extra High Voltage Substation
(located at the HSP Phase III area) is expected to be added to the system in June
2011. Following the completion of the remodeling and the new construction for each
substation, the capacity of the main transformer considerably increases the reserve
power supply and simultaneously increases the number of connection lines in each
Table 2
HSP Peak Monthly Power Load
substation, thus providing a reliable multi-loop power supply system for HSP members.
Particularly, following the completion of the Chuyuan Extra High Voltage Substation, it
has become possible to supply the HSP with abundant and high quality electric power
and solve the problem of overloading of the main transformer in Ermei Extra High
Voltage Substation, leading to power supply being unaffected by whether power is
maintained or interrupted at the Tunghsiau Power Plant.
(II) Natural Gas Supply
Natural gas is currently used by 31 companies at the HSP, and is provided by
the Hsinchu and Chutung gas lines, both of which are single-loop systems. The CPC
Natural Gas Co. proposed modifying the HSP Phases II and III gas supply systems into
dual-loop programs. The CPC Natural Gas Co. listed a special construction budget in
2008 and related construction works, were completed in December 2008. The CPC
Natural Gas Co. has applied for approval by Taiwan Area National Freeway Bureau,
MOTC to construct additional pipeline crossing over National Highway No. 1 (Sun Yatsen Highway) to complete the gas supply at the HSP.
(III) Water Resource Supply
The HSP demands approximately 133,000 tons of water (Table 3) daily. The HSP
currently implements various water supply measures, including public water reservoir
facilities of the Science Park Administration, water reservoir facilities of individual
Park companies, the Paoshan Reservoir, Yongheshan Reservoir, and Long-En Weir 2nd
Water Treatment Plant. As the expansion construction and related pipeline trunk
construction for the Paoshan Water Treatment Plant are completed, the Paoshan
Reservoir will be able to be operated simultaneously with the Long-En Weir of
Touchien River, which is expected to increase the daily water supply to the Hsinchu
area by 282,000 tons, a phenomenon that may conform to the requirements of civil
and industrial water consumption for Hsinchu area until 2021.

III. Transportation Network
Furthermore, Taiwan Water Corporation has signed a contract with the Taiwan
Joint Irrigation Association, stating the adjustment period for agricultural water supply
transfer will be 100 days between the annual 1st and 2nd crops and will involve 5
million tons of water transfer. The transfer fee will be NT$ 2 per ton, meaning NT$10
million is needed to perform the process, and the Science Park Administration and
Taiwan Water Corporation will share these fees according to the proportion of
public and civil water supplies. Currently, the total water distribution volume for
Hsinchu area is 450,000 tons per day, meaning the HSP accounts for a third of total
water consumption in Hsinchu area. The Science Park Administration thus will bear
approximately NT$ 3.33 million in fees. Consequently, an initial market mechanism
has been established for water resource transfer, enabling the full utilization of water
resources to maintain civil and industrial development in Hsinchu area.
The land development of Park Avenue III and V was initiated simultaneously with
the plant construction of TSMC and PSC, and is designed to accommodate 10,000 road
users daily. The HSP Administration has widened special road V to a width of 12m on the
west of the Shichu 3rd road to relieve traffic flows upon the completion of construction.
Regarding water conservation advising: since 2002, the Water Conservation
Advisory Group has been established in the HSP, with members including scholars,
specialists from the Committee of Water, Electricity, and Gas of the HSP Industrial
Association, as well as the Water Conservation Service Group of ITRI. As of the end of
2008, the Water Conservation Service Group of ITRI had completed 91 advisory sessions
related to water conservation techniques, after analyzing and comparing overall water
consumption and recycled water volume, annual water conservation volume has
reached up to 66.39 million tons.

II. Individual Industries
(I) Integrated Circuits (IC)
The HSP contained 197 IC industry firms in 2008, generating a sales revenue of
NT$704 billion. The semiconductor industry in the HSP developed smoothly in 2008.
Facing a global recession and falling DRAM prices, the HSP IC industry has adopted a
flexible market deployment and product development strategy to stabilize the market.
The Science Park Administration approved 20 new IC companies to the Park in 2008,
representing a total investment of NT$16.51 billion. These firms produce image IC,
memory IC, MEMS, and communication IC. IC peripheral industries, including E-chuck/IC,
ceramic components, probe, and validation test service,
are continuously relocating to the HSP. Apparently,
the semiconductor upper-stream and down-stream
industrial cluster effect is most effective. Moreover,
analog components are becoming important to
consumer electronics, telecommunications, and power
management industries.

ClarIDy Solution, Inc.
Although 2008 was a challenging year, Taiwanese
IC industry retains its dominant position, with above-average production and yield
achieved by conservative policies focused on continuously optimizing performance,
including improving cost structure, adjusting inventory level, upgrading product gross
profit, and strategic collaboration.
(II) Computers and Peripherals
40
The HSP contained 52 firms involved in the computers and peripherals industry in
2008, with a total sales revenue of NT$77.6 billion. The HSP attracted four businesses
in 2008 to invest NT$1.01 billion in
R&D on NAND flash memory, MEMS
accelerometers, MEMS gyroscopes,
LED chip on board (COB) Light Bar,
electrets electrostatic materials,
and computer multimedia. The
emerging nano-technology material
Electrets Electrostatic
with electrets electrostatic and film Taiwan Electrets Electronics Co., Ltd.
can be used in amplifier, earphone, static receiver, and touch detector. It has helped
boost the consumer electronics business. MEMS has rapidly switched from IT/automobile
application to consumer electronics with a significant growth.
Computer and peripheral industry at the HSP focuses on the production
of hardware, e.g. LCD, optical storage, digital camera, projector, and emerging
digital frame. Besides continuously reforming the structure of the computers and
peripherals industry while simultaneously migrating production of labor-intensive
and uncompetitive products overseas, the key to increasing industry value is to move
towards value-added core products by encouraging own-brand manufacturing,
design, component distribution, supply chain management and after-sales services,
as part of an overall approach to marketing and logistic management for enhancing
firm competitiveness. Moreover, along with the promotion of digital music, network
videoconference, luxury merchandise, and digital home, HSP members will try to create
further business opportunities in the future.
(III) Telecommunications
The HSP contained 46 telecommunications companies in 2008, with a total sales
revenue of NT$32.4 billion. Relevant products and technologies focus on mobile
phone, GPS device, WLAN, xDSL, CPE, Ethernet LAN Switch, cable CPE, SOHO Router,
Bluetooth, IP Phone, and PHS. One company that established operations in the HSP
in 2008 is developing MIMO antenna system, low-frequency marine radar antenna
system, automotive intelligent antenna system, and wireless sensing network module.
Telecommunications players followed a new development direction in 2008 by
shifting to network service, cell phone application
s o f t w a r e p l a t f o r m , l o w - p r i c e c e l l p h o n e,

year increase in number of new companies entering the Park. In terms of upgrading
industrial technology level and competitiveness, the HSP has performed excellently.
Total paid-in capital reached NT$1.14 trillion by the end of December 2008. As of the
end of December 2008 the HSP contained 430 hi-tech companies with a total of 130,577
employees (see Figure 4, 5, and 6). Number of firms applying to enter the HSP continues
to increase significantly, demonstrating that the Hsinchu Science Park continues to
41
As for the production of TFT-LCD, the largest manufacturer in Taiwan, AUO,
possesses 6G and 7.5G mass production competence and plans to construct a 10G
plant. Taiwan is the second largest producer of TFT-LCD, producing 192 million
pieces in 2008 and generating sales of US$29.08 billion, representing 40% of global
sales. Portable products are in high demand in the sense of energy saving, high
resolution, and high response speed; therefore, manufacturers have invested in
developing new display technology including Mirasol (Interferonetric-Modulator
Display), Flexible Display, LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon), and OLED (Organic Light
Emitting Display).
Taiwan is the largest producer of LED and also the largest producer of LED Chip.
The HSP includes eight companies with the advantage of LED industry integration
invested in LED-related product development in 2008, including LED flat light source
for 3C products, LED backlight module, LED light fixture, and indoor/outdoor LED
engine. This investment activity responded to global demand for energy saving and
environmentally friendly products, which spurred continual development of LED
industry.
The solar cell industry in the HSP has
developed rapidly in the face of soaring
oil prices and policies encouraging
e nv i r o n m e n t a l l y f r i e n d l y e n e rg y
sources. Besides development of silicon
wafer material in upper-stream and
production of solar cell and module in
mid-stream, some manufacturers have
invested in development of energy
42

transformation system and equipment in downstream. Solar cell industry is a rising star
at the HSP.
(V) Precision Machinery
A total of 23 firms were involved in precision machinery industry in 2008, with total
sales of NT$ 11.8 billion. Three companies involved in this industry started operations
in 2008, together investing NT$830 million in producing PECVD and PVD for solar cell
industry, which provides turnkey services for Taiwanese solar cell equipment supply
chain. These firms are the first at the park to produce oxidant ceramic components
products with high density and hardness, temperature-resistance, chemical-stability,
and excellent mechanical qualities. Also, such products can be applied on bearing
systems and materials for semiconductor, illumination, and biomedical uses.
Development of precision machinery industry at the HSP is closely linked to welldeveloped semiconductor and optoelectronics industries. Products of this industry
have clearly transformed from equipment for back-end packaging and testing,
inspection and automatic transportation systems required by semiconductor and
optoelectronics industries to front-end manufacturing equipment. This trend has not
only led domestic precision machinery firms to transform its production of equipment
and devices required by the semiconductor and optoelectronics industries, with
companies transforming their product lines including Mirle Automation Corporation,
Passion Technology Co., Ltd., Gallant Precision Machining Co., Ltd., YoungTek Electronics
Corp., etc., but has also attracted key international players, including globally renowned
semiconductor equipment suppliers, such as the US-based Applied Materials, Lam
Research etc., to the HSP during the early phase of the park operation. Recently,
international firms like the global well-known vacuum device supplier, ULVAC, and
the semiconductor device manufacturers, Tokyo Electron Limited, Rohm and Haas
Electronic Materials, have set up operations at the HSP and begun producing key
components, such as batch sputtering system, lift process deposition system, ion
beam sputtering system, UV-IR cut coating system, etching equipment, and polishing
materials; these companies have also provided HSP wafer and panel manufacturers
with real-time services that have significantly helped those manufacturers reduce their
industrial costs and increase their competitiveness.
However, output of precision machinery industry has not increased as a
proportion of total sales revenue. The well-developed structure
of the IC, TFT, and emerging solar industries at the HSP;
also, the excellent business performance of the
said industries will undoubtedly attract further
investment in automation equipment and
specific materials related to semiconductor
and solar energy industries, which elevates
precision machinery industry cluster effect at
the HSP.

To take care of the education of employees' children, the government established
National Experimental High School (NEHS) at the Hsinchu Science Park in August
1983. The school includes five divisions, namely senior high school, junior high school,
elementary school, kindergarten, and bilingual school. Currently NEHS hosts 3,000
students in a total of 106 classes, including 12 classes at senior high school, 16 classes
at junior high school, 48 lasses at elementary school, 6 classes at kindergarten, and 24
classes at bilingual school.
NEHS is located at the Hsinchu Science Park and close to academic research
institutions, e.g. National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), National Chiao Tung University
(NCTU), and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). Abundant science,
technology, and academic resources act as catalysts for students' learning, where
students are not only mentally flexible but also extremely creative, achieving
outstanding results in domestic and international academic tests and talent
competitions, scoring remarkable performances in physics, chemistry, and maths
competitions globally, and performing well in National Merit Scholarship in the
USA and numerous language and music competitions (Table 10). Both senior high
school and junior high school sections achieved excellent performances in 2008,
with approximately 90% of students at high school admitted to national universities.
Over 50% of students from junior high school section were admitted to their first
choice of domestic senior high schools in 2008. Graduates from bilingual school
also performed well, with over 90% admitted to well-known universities in the USA,
64
e.g. Harvard University, the
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT), Stanford,
Yale, Columbia, University of
Duke, etc.
Apart from focusing on
academic performance and
moral development, students
at NEHS are also asked to
cultivate team spirits. NEHS
provides around 50 music,
academic, and recreational
e x t ra - c u r r i c u l a r co u r s e s
for students at junior high
school and senior high
school. NEHS also collated oil
paintings done by all grade
12 graduating students into
an album exhibiting at the
Hsinchu Social Education
Center starting since 2005.
Additionally, the outstanding
badminton team at bilingual school students and the newly established choir at
elementary school are also with unique characteristics.
NEHS also actively collaborates and interacts with neighboring schools to
improve overall education quality at adjacent communities. NEHS served as a model
school for the concept of "Constructing Adaptive Learning Communities," a key policy
of Hsinchu City for Senior High/Vocational School Localization. Since then, NEHS
has constructively integrated resources from adjacent schools and has created an
interactive model for sharing community resources. Furthermore, since 2007, NEHS also
served as a convening school for the plan of "Hsinchu City Math Creative Teaching"
and served as a site for further research and study, formulating contest questions,
