| dc.description.abstract | Taiwan’’s IC foundry in the semiconductor industry of industrial chain, it is a characteristic on the industrial structure of the semiconductor to vertical disintegration among the IC foundry industrial from upstream to downstream, build the key factor of success that technological progress and specialized ability of constructing the Hi-Tech industry of Taiwan. The IC foundry focuses on product upstream（Intermediate）goods and finishes the downstream（final）goods by outsourcing. The development and operation than in such big factories of the semiconductor as S. Korea, Japan and America and Europe, etc., they business model are Integration Device Manufacture, IDM. Chang (1998) indicated that the vertical disintegration is with market mechanism, and then replace internal management of organization. Thus, the vertical disintegration has not only substituted the internal management and the transaction cost that has reduced the market even more.
This research discussed both the vertical disintegration phenomenon and competition analysis of Taiwan by the game theory, and this research adjustment in the position: Upstream is IC manufacturer-IC foundry, downstream is IC design. Thus, the final goods and the market structure are clearly explained.
This research conclusion discussed two major challenges that foundry industry of Taiwan: the company growth and the market profit issue. First, how to faced the competition for globalization, Taiwan’’s foundry industrial how about industry breaks through the trend of growing up. Second, in the face of meager profit era, Taiwan’’s IC foundry how about sets more profits. | en_US |
