Huang Chia-hung, head of planning for the Committee for Precision Machinery Industry Development at the MOEA, explains that chip foundries are tightly focused on improvements in production yields and efficiency, and they upgrade their machinery very frequently. In 2003, the bulk of their production involved 0.13-micron (130-nanometer) processes. Today, it's 90 nanometers.
經濟部精密機械推動小組企劃經理黃嘉宏解釋，晶圓代工極端強調製程良率和效率的改善，而且製程升級迅速，2003 年時還以線寬 0.13 微米（130 奈米）製程為主，現在就縮小到 90 奈米，全程在管控嚴密的潔淨室生產，容不下任何誤差。
