Thermo Fisher: The Semiconductor Industry’s Blueprint

Electron microscopy is critical in enabling the examination of microchips and nanostructures, which then ensure the integrity and performance of semiconductor devices that power solutions around the world.

The demand for high-performance semiconductor technology is growing exponentially, including generative AI, smart devices, and renewable energy. As Taiwan solidifies itself as a leader in the international semiconductor industry, there is a strong need for institutional and corporate partners to navigate ever-evolving market dynamics.

Thermo Fisher’s innovative processes for R&D, reference metrology, materials characterization, and failure analysis are integral to Taiwan’s semiconductor industry transformation through collaboration with customers. The company’s instruments, software, and workflows serve the Top 25 memory, logic, display, and foundry semiconductor manufacturers.

Collaboration leads to innovation

Specifically in Taiwan, Thermo Fisher is playing a key role — in collaboration with customers — to evolve the semiconductor industry. Fully automated workflows, which leverage intelligent software algorithms, such as deep learning and artificial intelligence, provide significant value for this evolution. These advancements are enhancing accuracy, speed, and ease of analysis to meet and exceed customer needs.

Driving innovation in semiconductor technology requires active collaboration among integrated device manufacturers (IDM), original equipment manufacturers (OEM), and outsourced semiconductor assembly and testers (OSAT). Thermo Fisher is passionate about fostering robust partnerships with these customer bases to accelerate breakthroughs in logic, memory, power compound semiconductors, advanced packaging, service laboratories, and more.
