To advance the localization of semiconductor equipment research and development and strengthen talent cultivation, Yuedu Technology, a leading domestic semiconductor key technology provider, led by Vice President Hsien-Hui Chien, visited the Semiconductor Center of Asia University on January 29. The visit featured in-depth discussions on semiconductor process equipment, thin-film deposition technologies, and industry–academia collaborative projects. Both parties expressed strong expectations to integrate industrial expertise with academic research capabilities to jointly drive innovation and transformation in next-generation semiconductor equipment.
Vice President Chun-Chieh Huang of Asia University stated that the Semiconductor Center is committed to cultivating semiconductor professionals and is equipped with advanced experimental environments and testing facilities. During the meeting, both sides reached preliminary consensus on equipment technology upgrades and key component research and development. Representatives from Yuedu Technology noted that as semiconductor manufacturing processes continue to scale down, equipment precision and durability face increasing challenges. With its long-standing expertise in surface treatment and coating technologies, Yuedu Technology hopes to leverage the research environment of Asia University’s Semiconductor Center for technology validation and co-develop domestically produced equipment solutions with global competitiveness.
On the same day, Mr. Kuo-Yang Yu, Manager of Li-Yang Optoelectronics, a domestic company specializing in optoelectronic integration and precision inspection technologies, also visited the Semiconductor Center. Discussions focused on front-end semiconductor processing and packaging inspection equipment, automation optimization, and future industry–academia collaboration. Both parties aim to combine optoelectronic technologies with semiconductor research to jointly advance the localized development of critical equipment.
Li-Yang Optoelectronics has long been deeply engaged in optical systems, laser applications, and automated equipment, serving as a key technology provider within the semiconductor supply chain. Vice President Huang emphasized that the Semiconductor Center actively promotes sustainable manufacturing and intelligent design, and that Li-Yang Optoelectronics’ extensive hands-on experience in precision optoelectronics brings valuable market-oriented insights to the Center’s research efforts. Through this exchange, both sides not only reached preliminary agreements on technical collaboration but also expressed mutual intent to jointly pursue research and development projects supported by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) in the future.
