| dc.description.abstract | This thesis discusses the IC back-end cleaning machine industry in Taiwan. The research report applies the ＂Structure-Conduct-Performance＂ (S-C-P) framework from economics to analyze the industry structure, firm conduct, and operational performance of the IC back-end cleaning machine market in Taiwan. It also examines the current status and future trends of the cleaning equipment industry, and provides recommendations for coping strategies and suggestions.
The study reveals that there are four main players in the semiconductor back-end cleaning machine industry in Taiwan, with almost all of the market share. A certain economy of scale is required to have future competitiveness, making it a highly concentrated and dominant market with high entry barriers.
In terms of firm conduct, other competitors expand their market share by relying on the pricing conduct and product sales strategy of leading companies, allowing clients to trust the technical capabilities and services of other competitors. The result of this competition only began to change in 2021 with the market share of cleaning machines.
The study also shows that if the market share of the IC back-end cleaning machine industry increases, it will lead to growth in revenue, EPS, and other performance indicators of back-end cleaning machine companies.
Given the uncertainty of the future environment caused by the US-China trade war, the study also proposes recommendations for the semiconductor back-end cleaning machine industry, including focusing on talent cultivation, shortening machine delivery times, and integrating cross-domain strategies. The study also suggests that the government should provide assistance for the outsourcing of IC testing factories and the transformation of back-end cleaning machines to ensure the sustainable and prosperous development of the IC semiconductor back-end cleaning machine industry. | en_US |
