Dr. Hsin-Sen Chu, CIE-Taiwan’sfirst president and an executive vicepresident of ITRI, will become thecontact point for international cooperation,available to counsel industrymembers and work towardsconsensus in the optics and lightingindustry, as well as to represent theindustry at international events. Thiswork will also lead to inter-industryalliances and increased mobility onthe economic world stage for Taiwan.International standardizationfrom a multidisciplinary perspectivenot only brings influence, leadershipand access to the global marketbut also an excellent business opportunityfor Taiwan.[ COLLABORATIONS ]ITRI TODAY▂Summer 2010 Quarterly▂14ITRI South BuildsNew Links to JapanITRI and Taiyo Yuden have established a closely cooperative partnership since 1996.Japan is a country known for itswell integrated industrial andacademic spheres. In order to bringthis know-how and innovation toITRI South, Dr. Shing-Yuan Tsai,Executive Director of ITRI South,visited Japanese firms such as VAM(Victor Advanced Media), TaiyoYuden, and Canon, strengtheningties with Japan and laying the foundationfor a new wave of East Asiancooperation.Source: South/ITRIDr. Tsai mentioned that for ITRISouth, 2010 is the first ‘internationalbusiness’ year, which it will use topush forward local R&D initiatives.One such initiative is the signing ofa 15 years cooperation MOU withTaiyo Yuden Co. Established in1950, Taiyo Yuden is primarily aproducer of ceramic capacitors andhigh-density electronic components.The company's research missionis built on a foundation of leadingtechnology, broad product use, andeco-friendly production processes.With the successful development ofCD-R and DVD burning products,it has become a world renownedname and an important supplier forSony, Fuji Film, TDK and Maxell.The cooperation between ITRIand VAM dates back to 1996, whenthen-Director of R&D Mr. Masami(current chairman of VAM), andDr. Tsai, then General Director ofITRI’s Mechanical and SystemsResearch Labs, established a similarcooperative partnership. Thispartnership included the implementationof Japanese equipment andtechnology as well as the sharing ofOCM systems, leading to a win-winrelationship for many years. Dr. Tsaibelieves Mr. Masami has a uniqueleadership style and an almost unlimitedcapacity to innovate.Taiyo Yuden Co. merged withJVC to create VAM in 2008, bringingtogether the audio-visual componentwith optical media departments.Their products are sold inevery major electronics store. VAMand ITRI South’s MOU is not onlya step towards internationalization,but also a wave which will fertilizethe industry with innovation.
[ CONFERENCES ]2010 VLSI Week:3DIC Drives New Trendsin Semiconductorand IC DesignThe 2010 International Symposium on VLSI Design,Automation & Testing (VLSI-DAT) wasorganized by ITRI to share the newest trends andtrailblazing research in IC design and semiconductorswith world renowned international companiessuch as Freescale, Infineon, STMicroelectronics,and Intel. Responsible for the organization ofthe symposium, Dr. Yi-Jen Chan, Vice Presidentand General Director of ITRI’s Electronics &Optoelectronics Research Labs (EOL), said thatbecause 3DIC will be the trend that powers thesemiconductor industry for the next ten years, thisyear’s VLSI week symposium focused on 3DICchip design, TSV production technology and testing. Other topics coveredincluded RF radio frequency components, memory, graphics computing CPU,micro-electromechanical (MEMS) integration, and medical electronics.With support from the MOEA’s Technology Project Plan, 3DIC has beenactively promoted and a three-dimensional integrated circuits laboratory wasestablished to create an international platform, using integrated EDA, ICdesign, manufacturing, packaging and design oriented 3D IC concepts. Thisvalue-added system strengthens the global competitiveness of Taiwan’s semiconductorindustry.In addition to the topic of 3D IC, the symposium also explored the rise ofpersonal care electronics, sharing developments in bio-sensing RF technologyused in human disease prognosis. Dr. Cheng-Wen Wu, Vice Presidentand General Director of ITRI's Information & Communication Research Labs(ICL), spoke of the new applications of IC chips outside of computers andtelecommunications, primarily in areas such as medical electronics.During the opening ceremony, the Pan Wen Yuan Foundation which hasstrong ties with the semiconductor industry in Taiwan, presented specialERSO Awards to Hsing Chien Tuan, CEO of Chimei Innolux; Nicky Lu,Chairman & CEO of Etron Technology; and Tzu-Fei Shiao, Executive VicePresident of Eternal Chemical, in order to recognize their outstanding contributionsto the industry.2010 ERSO Award recipients: H.
