A wafer is a thin slice of semiconductor material, such as a silicon crystal, used in the fabrication of integrated circuits and other micro devices. The wafer serves as the substrate for microelectronic devices built in and over the wafer and undergoes many microfabrication process steps such as doping or ion implantation, etching, deposition of various materials, and photolithographic patterning. Finally the individual microcircuits are separated and packaged. Wafers are cleaned with weak acids to remove unwanted particles, or repair damage caused during the sawing process. When used for solar cells, the wafers are textured to create a rough surface to increase their efficiency. The generated PSG is removed from the edge of the wafer in the etching.
Laptop computer use 85inches of publication and smaller wafer. 3”

Nankang Software Park
Hsinchu Science Park
Taiwan's science parks are set up and administered by a special division of the National Science Council (NSC).
Taichung Science Park
Southern Taiwan Science Park
Hsiunchu, Tainan, Taichung and Nankang science parks are the biggest in Taiwan. There are more small science parks. In Nankang, many companies built their main administration and research building.
Wiki Luuva 6

7. Science Parks in Taiwan
Science parks are established to introduce high-tech industries and attract talent to Taiwan, promote the upgrading of Taiwanese industries, balance regional development and drive national economic development.
One of three science parks existing in northern, central and southern Taiwan, the Hsinchu Science Park (HSP) is primarily focused on semiconductors; meanwhile, the Central Taiwan Science Park is focused on aviation, precision machinery, and optoelectronics, while the Southern Taiwan Science Park is focused on optoelectronics.
Consequently, each of these science parks possesses its own respective core technological advantages.
A science park or science and technology park is an area with a collection of buildings dedicated to scientific research on a business footing. Often, science parks are associated with or operated by institutions of higher education 7

8. Hsinchu Science Park (HSP)
Since the HSP was established in December 1980, the government has invested US$1,679 million on park infrastructure and facilities.
A total of 430 high-tech companies had been established in the park by now. As in 2004, a total of 632 hectares had been developed for the HSP proper, plus an additional 141 hectares for the Jhunan Park.
During its 20 years plus history, the HSP has focused both on research and production, thus profoundly impacting the local economic development and giving the HSP an international reputation and establishing it as a model imitated by other countries.
1976 or 1977, Taiwanese started to build Hsinchu science park. Before built whole science park there was tea plantation around that science park. Hsinchu Science is an industrial park established by the government of the Taiwan on December 15, 1980 with investment from the Kuomintang. It straddles Hsinchu City and Hsinchu County on the island of Taiwan.
Hsinchu Science Park was founded by Kwoh-Ting Li, former Finance Minister of Taiwan. 8

10. R & D in HSP – by Government
To encourage R&D at the Park, the government established six national laboratories at the Park, namely
the National Center for High-Performance Computing (NCHC),
the Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (SRRC),
the National Space Program Office (NSPO),
the Precision Instrument Development Center (PIDC),
the Chip Implementation Center (CIC), and
the National Nano Device Laboratories (NDL).
There are several research and development center in Hsinchu science parks, it is provided by government. 10

11. R & D in HSP – by Company
HSP companies spent US$1,464 million on R&D in 2003, representing 5.0% of total annualsales revenues. In terms of total R&D expenditure, the IC industry invested most heavily with a total of US$935 million. Additionally, Park companies employed 10,918 R&D-related professionals, representing 11% of total employees, with IC firms employing 6,038 of these researchers.
