AISSM

Leading Next-Generation Technology
The Academy of Innovative Semiconductor and Sustainable Manufacturing was the first to launch at a university in Taiwan to address the nation’s high-tech talent constraints and the imperative for advancing semiconductor technology during the AI era. With support from NCKU’s well-established research foundation in science and engineering, the Academy also strives to align the university-based R&D work closer to industry needs by allowing greater flexibility in academic infrastructure in faculty hiring of industry experts, budgeting, research, and training formats. The five degree programs are on Integrated Circuit Design, Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology, Semiconductor Packaging and Testing, Key Materials, and Smart and Sustainable Manufacturing, covering the whole spectrum of the semiconductor industry. The programs aim at educating future talents with a core value on  “data-driven & energy-sensitive” competency to help students strive in the highly competitive semiconductor industry.

2023 NCKU AISSM Summer School has a total of 29 students participating, including 14 foreign students, from seven countries, and all levels. With highly positive feedback, the Academy aims to provide this course annually for students who are interested in knowing this fundamentally important semiconductor industry. The mission is to enhance technology literacy and blend in the society in an era of chips and automation.
