Bio:

Dr. Chih-I Wu is the VP and Senior Expert at Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), as well as a professor in Graduate Institute of Photonics and Optoelectronics and Department of Electrical Engineering of National Taiwan University. He was the General Director of Electronic and Optoelectronic System Research Laboratories, ITRI, from 2015 to 2022. His research is mainly on 2D material and devices, organic optoelectronics, metal-semiconductor interfaces, and heterojunctions. Prior to joining NTU, he worked at Component Research Lab of Intel in the US from 2000 to 2004. His work at Intel was mainly on developing the advanced VLSI process technology, such as Cu and low k interconnects, metal gate materials, and atomic layer deposition process. Dr. Wu got his B.S. degree from National Taiwan University and M.S. degree from Northwestern University, both in Physics. He received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in Electrical Engineering.

Abstract:

In the talk, I will share with you ITRI’s strategy on internation collaboration. I will start from the evolution of Taiwan’s semiconductor ecosystem, from 1970’s till now. The current status and the future of both Taiwan and global semiconductor industry will also be presented from our perspective. Based on the evolution and future prediction of semiconductor ecosystem, ITRI’s strategy on international collaboration will be discussed in this presentation.
