In addition to expanding their operations in Taiwan, leading semiconductor companies such as TSMC, ASE, and Meiguang have continued to make significant investments in the region. TSMC, for instance, plans to invest $20 billion over the next few years, while Japan, Taiwan, and the U.S. are collectively investing $100 billion in the island. To retain top talent, these major players are also offering competitive salaries and benefits.
The three key semiconductor firms are intensifying their presence in Taiwan. TSMC’s major investment is directed toward its Nanke 3nm project, a critical initiative aimed at competing with industry rivals like Samsung and Intel in 2022. The company is pushing forward with advanced manufacturing capabilities to maintain its leadership in chip production.
Meiguang has followed suit, planning to invest 100 billion yuan in Kaohsiung. The company hopes that the Ministry of Economic Affairs will approve an expanded development plan following the second park project in the export zone. Meiguang aims to build high-end sealing and testing facilities, which it will formally submit to the ministry. The Kaohsiung municipal government has already requested land, responding to growing demand from sectors like AI, smart vehicles, and the Internet of Things, which require advanced packaging solutions such as SiP and integrated fan-out packages.
Micron has chosen Taiwan as its DRAM excellence center. After acquiring Inako last year, the company upgraded its processes and built the first fully automated packaging and testing plant in Taiwan. This move strengthens Micron's overall efficiency and competitiveness. While the exact investment amount remains undisclosed, industry estimates suggest it exceeds 10 billion yuan.
Amid rising labor costs in China, TSMC, Meiguang, and Micron have all implemented salary adjustments to enhance employee benefits. TSMC has consistently increased wages in recent years, with current compensation levels above industry standards. Annual dividends have also risen steadily alongside improved profitability, with each employee receiving an average of over one million yuan in dividends—making the company highly attractive to skilled professionals.
After expanding its operations in Taiwan, Micron also promised to improve working conditions for local employees. Although the company eliminated three bonuses, it significantly raised monthly salaries. This year’s salary increases ranged from 30% to 50%, a substantial rise that reflects the company’s commitment to retaining talent in a competitive market.
