Taiwan mobilizes academic R&D to address post-Moore semiconductor equipment gaps
What happened
Taiwan is stepping up efforts to develop next-generation semiconductor research equipment, as conventional commercial tools increasingly fall short of emerging R&D requirements for process flexibility, precision parameter control, functional integration, and advanced technology validation. Taiwan's National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) is seeking equipment development proposals in three priority areas: sub-nanometer silicon-based semiconductors, non-silicon semiconductors, and silicon photonics coupling. This is a proposal solicitation and remains at the planned/proposed stage.
