With education structure change, foundries learner has towards higher education development, according to the hsinchu science-based industrial park semiconductor plant hr director, according to the current foundries recruits more than 7 into a master's degree or above.

According to Taiwan's two major foundries, TSMC and umc annual report data show that two different company staff degree of structure; Among them, TSMC at the end of February 40000, 5306 employees, is the largest with master, accounted for 39.4%, bachelor's degree in time, accounting for 26.3%.

Dr TSMC share 4.4%, other institutions of higher education degree (12.2%), high school (contain) accounted for 17.7%.

Umc this year on March 16, 10000, 8458 employees; With junior college, among them for bulk, accounted for 47.3%, master's (28.2%), high school (contain) accounted for 22.7%, about 1.8% of the total, Dr.

Bamboo branch semiconductor plant hr director, said although TSMC and umc staff degree structure seems to be some differences, however, in recent years the foundries learner has 70% to 75% with a master's degree or above, have development trend towards higher education.

Human resources director, says engineers, for example, in addition to the equipment engineer will still be in with a college degree personnel, other such as process engineer with a master's degree or above personnel will enter, only a few is a college degree.

Mainly education structure change, the unit director think university learn semiconductor is quite limited, the learner into use is used to choose a master's degree or above.

TSMC said that due to the different requirements of each classification, part of the unit head of choose and employ persons does require a master's degree or above, but not comprehensive requires a master's degree or above; Research and development, alternative service for regulation, should have a master's degree or above.
