National Cheng Kung University (NCKU)
Semiconductor Academy, AISSM
Leading Next-Generation Technology
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 the 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 the 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. The Academy currently has about 180 faculty members and 90 graduate students.
