Encyclopedia : H : HS : HSI : Hsinchu Science Park
Hsinchu Science Park (Chinese: 新竹科學園區; Hanyu Pinyin: Xīnzhú Kē Xué Yuán Qū) was established by the government of the Republic of China on December 15, 1980 with investment from the Kuomintang. It straddles Hsinchu City and Hsinchu County in Taiwan. A total of 370 high-tech companies, mainly involved in the semiconductor, computer, telecommunication, and optoelectronics industries, have been established in the park at the end of December 2003. Hsinchu Science Park is now one of the world's most significant areas for semiconductor manufacturing. It is home to the world's top two semiconductor foundries, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), both of which were established at the nearby Industrial Technology Research Institute. There is also a science-themed amusement park in the area.
