The STSP recruits major industries, including the IC, optoelectronics, precision machinery, telecommunications, computer peripherals, biotechnology, and so on. Among them, the optoelectronics industry, the IC industry, and the biotechnology industry have demonstrated remarkable achievements that help to form a comprehensive integrated high-tech industrial cluster.
As an IC foundry leader, TSMC has set up its five nanometer, three nanometer, and two nanometer advanced manufacturing processes in the STSP, making the STSP the world’s largest scale of IC industrial cluster. For the optoelectronics industry, led by Innolux and HannStar, the core strength of panel displays is developed. Products include TV screens in various sizes, as well as niche applications for vehicles and the healthcare field that will be the main trend for the continuous development of the industry.
a.Strength of the IC industrial cluster
TSMC and UMC continuously expand their capacities at the STSP. TSMC invested its two nanometer, three nanometer and five nanometer advanced manufacturing processes at the STSP that attract relevant suppliers to invest in the Park, which makes the STSP’s IC industrial cluster more integrated. The industrial chain includes upstream material and component suppliers of CMP slurry, quartz tube, deposition materials, photoresists, etchants, developers, probe cards and polishing pads; middle stream manufacturers of silicon wafers and memory; and downstream suppliers of package tests, product tests, and equipment.
b.Strength of the 5G industrial cluster
The 5G industrial cluster of Southern Taiwan Science Park has already assembled the important industrial chains for material and key components. Inside the Park there are outstanding tenant companies such as YAGEO Corporation, Win Semiconductors, Walshin Technology, Winstron Neweb, Garuda Technology, Advanced Wireless Semiconductor, Apogee Optocom, and Thinflex. In the future for 5G development, STSP aims to invite more companies in the software and information security industry. Through the interdisciplinary industrial development of software and hardware, it will keep on accelerating the innovation and transformation development of the Park.
c.Strength of the optoelectronic industry
The STSP has a comprehensive integrated TFT-LCD panel industrial cluster led by Innolux and HannStar. The integration consists of upstream key components (such as glass substrate, liquid crystal materials, color filters, brightness enhancement films and prism sheets, masks, backlight modules), equipment and downstream LCD panel makers. For horizontal support, equipment manufacturers from various countries are also present at the STSP, forming Taiwan’s most important TFT-LCD industrial cluster.
d.Strength of the precision health industrial cluster
The Precision Health Industry Cluster in the Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP) primarily focuses on the development of the pharmaceutical, applied biotechnology, advanced medical devices, and digital healthcare industries. Through the "Cross-domain Promotion Plan for Precision Health Industry" service platform, STSP assists the park enterprises in connecting with relevant strategic partners to address issues related to product research and development, manufacturing, and market launch. Additionally, by providing regulatory consultation and certification guidance, STSP helps park enterprises shorten the product launch timeline. Through matchmaking activities, exchanges, and exhibitions, STSP also aims to expand marketing channels and establish a presence in both domestic and international markets.
