For example, in the Hsinchu Science-Based Industrial Park, where the largest number of Taiwan's semiconductor makers are concentrated, before 1995 there were only four eight-inch wafer plants, but in 1997 this figure will rise to 19. Added to the existing four-, five- and six-inch wafer plants, they will make the park one of the world's major centers of semiconductor production.
以台灣半導體廠商集中的新竹科學工業園區來說，一九九五年前，全園區只有四座八吋晶圓廠，到九七年卻將暴增為十九座；加上原有的四、五及六吋等晶圓廠，科學園區已成為世界級的半導體生產重鎮。
