New Taiwan Industrial park

11/01/1996

New Taiwan industrial park. Taiwan fabs are signing up for the new Tan-Nan Science-Based Industrial Park in Taiwan. The Taiwan government is investing NT$32 billion to develop the park, which will house primarily semiconductor factories. The park is expected to bring in NT$900 billion in income over the next 15 years. The first big move into the science park will be by semiconductor manufacturing giants TSMC and UMC, which will build a 200-mm wafer factory at the site. Moreover, TSMC`s Fab 6 and UMC`s Fab 4 will move into the park. These two fabs are expected to invest over NT$50 billion. Soon, Winbond, Mosel, Ti-Acer, and Powerchip will all move south to the science park, as Hsinchu Science Park does not have enough space for them.
