Taiwan's thriving semiconductor sector demonstrates its economic strengths. The country produces more than 60% of global chip supply, and more than 90% of the most advanced ICs. In total, the semiconductor industry accounts for 15% of the country's GDP.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2023, Alchip Technologies epitomises Taiwan's global semiconductor industry leadership. It is one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers application-specific of integrated circuits (ASICS), that are custom-made to perform very specific electronic functions. With an international presence in markets including Taiwan, the US, Japan, and China, the company is eyeing further international expansion.
"We are doing really well in greater Asia when someone wants to make a complicated ASIC chip, they come to us," says Alchip Technologies president and CEO Johnny Shen. "We have a lot of potential to grow in the US, and are open to broad international partnerships. We always deliver. When companies need computing power, they need a large-scale design with the most leading process and advanced package technologies, and that is where we come into conversation. We've designed more than 500 ASICS. All of the largest suppliers work with us, because we I have the field's most proven track record. When it comes to high-end integrated circuit companies, there are perhaps five in the world and we are one of them."
