TSMC Donates Advanced Electron Microscope to NTHU, Bridging Industry and Academia
As part of its commitment to the "Develop Talent" pillar of the five ESG Directions, TSMC actively partners with universities and research institutions in Taiwan and around the world. Through the four focus areas of "science outreach, career exploration, professional development, and collaborative research," the Company strengthens industry-academia collaboration, advancing research in cutting-edge technologies including semiconductor materials, devices, manufacturing processes, and chip design. To deepen advanced research and bridge the gap between academic learning and practical application, TSMC donated a high-resolution Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) in May 2026 to the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU)—the first department of its kind established in Taiwan, extending advanced R&D resources from Ph.D. research to master's and undergraduate students, empowering young minds to engage in hands-on TEM training early on and cultivating practical talent from the grassroots level. TSMC has also established a systematic workflow covering "installation planning and relocation" to ensure the successful commissioning of the equipment. Additionally, TSMC launched a summer internship program in July providing college students with real-world industry experience, helping them develop professional skills, and fostering the next generation of talent for the semiconductor industry.
