Ex-TSMC CTO says Taiwan's research institutes get too much funding and train too little talent
What happened
Chenming Hu, a former chief technology officer of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), states in his new book 'Find the Solutions' that Taiwan directs too much public research and development (R&D) funding to its national research institutes, and argues that this funding does not achieve the same multiplier effect as investment in universities. This is an opinion expressed in a book and involves no price or capacity change.
