The semiconductor industry categories include the semiconductor design/fabless, semiconductor fabrication, semiconductor packaging and testing, semiconductor testing as well as an upstream wafer, chemical material, lead frame, substrate and peripheral supporting industry such as processing and inspection equipment. The semiconductor industries mentioned in the study only include the semiconductor design/fabless, semiconductor fabrication and semiconductor packaging/testing, but excluding photomask and wafer material, etc. For the division of labor in Taiwan, the Taiwan IC industries can be classified as the IC design, IC fabrication and IC packaging/testing from upstream to downstream.
