我國IC產業萌芽於1970年代，而成長於1980年代並在1990年代興盛，目前是全世
界第四大IC生產國。在這段將近三十年的產業演進歷程中，有那些產業相關事件與因素影
響台灣IC產業之發展？我國IC產業發展之關鍵成功因素(KSF)又為何？這些均是本研究亟
於探析之主題。
產業的發展，從歷史的角度而言，其實是一連串事件所組成，而每一項產業事件
串連有關之人、地、物、時等要素，因此本研究先以深入訪談的方式，訪問產、官、學、
研各領域之專家，完成「台灣IC產業發展深入訪談實錄」乙冊，以作為研究台灣IC產業發
展之基礎。
本研究以訪談所獲得之重要事件為基礎，設計研究問卷並對產、官、學、研各領
域之專家進行問卷調查；分析結果發現『政府決策者之支持』、『工研院電子所自美國
RCA公司引進CMOS技術』、『設立新竹科學園區』、『衍生聯華電子公司』與『衍生台積
電公司』為問卷調查與深入訪談之主要共同關鍵事件。
其次，本研究透過重要事件之問卷調查，分析出17個影響台灣IC產業發展之因素
。經由因素評比，發現此影響台灣IC產業發展最關鍵之因素乃『台灣順利引進IC技術』，
其次依序較重要之關鍵因素為『IC人才培訓與相關法令之增修』、『工研院電子所之組織
文化』、『IC技術持續進步與應用需求廣泛』、『國家科專計畫衍生民間公司』與『政府
高層決策官員之遠見』。
調查結果亦發現：對台灣過去IC之產業發展，普遍認為『國家政策與經費持續支
持』為最關鍵成功因素(KSF)，而期許未來台灣IC產業的發展，則普遍認為應該首重『技
術引進與研發』，但是，政府角色也從過去主導的地位轉變成輔助的角色。

The IC industry of Taiwan sprouted in the early 1970s. ITRI
(Industrial Technology Research Institute) / ERSO (Electronics Research and
Service Organization) acquired skills covering all phases of semiconductor
manufacturing, in which was moving from LSI to VLIS, spinning-off private
companies (such as: UMC, TSMC) and entering of private sector in the 1980s.
Now in the 1990s, attention has been shifted to expand the breadth of the
industry. Taiwan is now the No. 4 country of IC manufacturing in the world.
What are the industry related events and factors which influence the evolution
of the Taiwan IC industry? And what''re the KSFs (key success factors) in the
development of the Taiwan IC industry? These issues are the major topics in
the thesis.
Much of happenings of industry development seem to be coincident
with a chain of events in historical perspective. And each event of industry
chains related important elements such as: people, place, object and time.
Thus this research adopts in-depth interview to visit some experts from
industry, government, academy and research institute, and fulfilled one volume
on "The History of Taiwan IC Industry Evolution" as the basis of the
research for the IC industry in Taiwan.
This research based on the important events from the result of in-
depth interview with a questionnaire conducting a wide survey among experts of
industry, government, academy and research institute. The results of this
research indicated the following critical events are well recognized both in
questionnaire survey approach and in-depth interview approach: "the support of
policy maker in government ", "ITRI/ERSO transfers CMOS technology from
RCA", "establishment of Hsinchu Science-based Industry Park", "spin-off UMC"
and "spin-off TSMC".
By surveying important events of Taiwan IC industry, this research
found 17 factors that influence the development of Taiwanese IC industry.
And this research also found that the most critical factor affecting the
development of Taiwan''s IC industry is "Taiwan successfully transfer IC
technology". The other critical factors in sequence by importance are:
"rearing and training the talent of IC, and the modification of related
statutory provision", "the organizational culture of ITRI/ERSO", "IC
technology continually changes and innovates", "government-supported
programs spin-off into private companies" and "the vision of high level
decision officer of government".
The results of survey also indicated that "persistent support of
government in policy and research budget" is the most key successful factor
(KSF) in the past. And the samples generally considered that "technology
import and research" is vital to the development of Taiwan IC industry in
the future. But the role of the government will be shifted from dominant to
assistant.
