The agreement follows the establishment of ITRI’s UK Office in May and its partnership with the Catapult Network. ITRI kicked off Taiwan’s involvement in the semiconductor industry by negotiating a licensing agreement with RCA for a 7 micron CMOS process in 1976. Over the years, ITRI and NPL have collaborated closely to harmonize their national quality systems with international standards. NPL is a metrology and applied physics research institution that maintains the UK’s national measurement standards and is deeply involved in establishing international metrology systems. This collaboration in semiconductor metrology will enable both sides to leverage their respective advantages to become key developers of international semiconductor measurement standards, establishing a successful model of cross-border cooperation and jointly shaping the future of global technology.
