“It’s still too early to say that the smartphone market is declined, because there is no other replacement of smartphone yet.” commented George Liu. “In the long run, the prospect of the semiconductor industry is positive.”

George Liu stated that the short-term inventory adjustments in the global IC business is coming to an end. Ultimately, the outlook of the semiconductor and foundry industry is bright and light.

Furthermore, George Liu considered it’s still too early to say that the growth of the smartphone market has been slowing down. In other words, smartphone will still be the main growth driver of the industry in terms of the demand of sensors.

Last but not least, though it needs more time for IoT market to grow, George Liu is optimistic toward it will drive the sensor demand and new applications.

There will be 1,540 booths enrolled in SEMICON Taiwan 2015 and over 40,000 visitors are expected to attend the exhibition and conferences. As well as 23 seminars regarding the market trend and technology, discussing high-tech facility, sustainable, SiP (3D IC embedded), AP, Litho, CMP, MEMS, and IoT.
