   With its Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park, in 2009 Taiwan generating over 66.7% of the global semiconductor foundry revenue, 15.7% of the world DRAM production revenue, 25.8% of fabless revenue, 45.2% of independent IC packaging revenue, and 70.0% of independent IC testing revenue, Taiwan is doubtlessly one of the major dynamos of the semiconductor industry on this planet.

    The conference is proud to create an annual platform for technical exchanges by experts from all over the world on the advancements in semiconductor research, development, and manufacturing. Join us at the VLSI-TSA technical programs as well as experience historic Hsinchu city, in which the technical and cultural atmosphere have been harmoniously connected.

    The 2010 VLSI-TSA has successfully attracted about 500 attendees with a very high-quality program featuring three keynote speeches, two special sessions, 24 invited talks, seven technical sessions with 50 technical papers presented, and two short courses. Both the contributing and invited papers are of high quality, and are presented by industrial and academic leaders and students from over 10 countries.
