By using existing factories, facilities and small equipment expenditures, this team developed a 0.18 ?m high-resistance SOI-based RF technology for 3G/4G RF front-end module for TSMC. By creating a product that can be adopted in 3G/4G multi-generation mobile communication technology, it allows RF CMOS technology to be developed and applied in mobile phone front-end module, thus dropping the price of build-in modules by 30% and shrinking the size of circuit board by 50%. This technology allows TSMC and domestic industries to build an industry supply chain on wireless RF module components and enhance its technology threshold. It is expected to bring positive impetus for the upstream and downstream companies of TSMC. With its forward-looking innovative technological value and contribution, it is meaningful in creating new industry frontiers for Taiwan. A RF CMOS technology platform is successfully built up using high-resistivity silicon-on-insulator substrate. This platform provides a silicon foundry technology solution for the rapid growing chip-market of cellular and Wi-Fi RF front-end module (RF FEM). With the silicon process inherited advantages of lower fabrication cost and easier circuit function integration, chips made from HRSOI is expected to replace GaAs as the mainstream for RF FEM.

Chao, Director", 20,106,"Innovative Trailblazer Team Award Living and Healthcare Technology Material and Chemical Research Laboratories, ITRI Lead Petrochemical Industry to Build Industrial Competitiveness","This team utilizes upstream petrochemicals and bio-based chemicals obtained from biomass as fundamental building blocks to derive value-added chemicals and materials. Domestically overproduced PTA was converted to CHDM as the key intermediate for the synthesis of high value PCT/PETG/PCTG. Through the integration of mid- and down-stream industries, development of new products and new materials, and utilization of both biomass feedstocks and green manufacturing processes, the team has strategically led the transformation of Taiwan’s petrochemical industry. In so doing, the team has provided sustainable material for emerging industries and value-added products to meet consumer demands, as well as helped form alliances and value chains in the petrochemical industry; the team has also established competitive technologies, thereby granting Taiwan a global competitive edge in the industry. Responding to the industry’s change due to the rise of international oil shale, low investment on Middle East petrochemical industry, and the rise of China’s petrochemical industry, it uses high-valued technology investment of petrochemical industries to make flexible usage of existing domestic production capacity. Using upstream raw petrochemical raw materials as its foundation, it creates differentiated/ high grade materials, and further initiates high-surplus application of the fundamental building blocks and biomass materials from upstream placement biomass raw materials.

Yu-Min Peng, Vice President and General Director", 21,106,"Innovative Trailblazer Team Award Green Energy Technology Compal Nano Imprint Lithography Team, Compal Electronics, Inc. Nano Imprint Lithography Process with Green ","""Nano imprint lithography technology” developed by this team can conduct nano imprinting on metal surfaces to reinforce the metallic texture and visual appeal of their surfaces, and produces products with special features. This can replace the traditional anodic oxidation treatment by saving water, power, and raising the defect-free rate, thus gaining a technology advantage worthy of recognition. This technology approaches zero-pollution and recycle efficiency of nearly 100%, and can be applied on various backing materials. This is well suited for international trend of eco-friendly development and can apply advantageous, eco-friendly manufacturing processes to Taiwan’s ICT industry. With this potential technology, it is expected to create considerable production value, and create an example for Taiwanese sustainable development products. In 2013, the electropolishing technology of aluminum alloy-anodic oxidation created a production value of 22 million tons throughout China. For processing 1 ton of aluminum alloy, 400 degrees of electricity is used, and 4.67 million tons of CO2 emissions are created. During the manufacturing process, the waste of water resources and sewage wastes exceed 5.5 billion tons. This is a power consuming manufacturing process that severely pollutes the environment, not to mention numerous illegal emissions that also occur. To pursue the glamorous texture of metal surfaces, consumers also indirectly cause environmental damage. Compal hopes innovative R&D can cause imperceptible influences on the whole supply chain. Meeting current global trends, nano imprints can be applied in high-tech superficial treatments of various materials. Patterns on the moulds can be duplicated to 99.9% and uses eco-friendly drying method manufacturing processes that take place in clean rooms throughout the process. Another highlight is that it solves the numerous energy consumption and sewage pollution problems caused due to traditional anode treatment and spray paint.

(Cloud Appliance for Enterprise) of Data Analytics Technology & Application Research Institute, Institute for Information Industry CAF? (Cloud Appliance for Enterprise)","Taiwan has no operating system software development capabilities in the past. CAF? became the first cloud system software that was developed successfully by Taiwan's own R&D team. Our strategy for developing the CAF? technology and products has targeted the small and medium business (SMBs) market from the beginning. For this, the system software was designed to maintain 5 key features: easy to use, easy to manage, easy to update, low cost, and secured. Some government agencies and local companies are already starting to replace their existing, expensive cloud system software from global brands with CAF?. CAF?'s first international success was through CloudMaster, a joint venture between Syscom (a Taiwanese software & service company) and Tokai Communication (a Japanese Utilities and Data Center operator) which had successfully brought CAF? to the Japanese market and Tokai uses it in its Data Centers to provide Hosted Private Cloud and cloud storage services (Pracla and Kumokura). This program has also trained more than 120 cloud system software talents for the country. Eight local computer manufacturers had acquired the CAF? technology through a technology transfer program. Key features of the cloud system software CAF? include: (1) Private Cloud Appliance for Enterprises (CAF?). CAF? can be integrated with computer servers from hardware equipment industry to provide SMBs with simple, easy to use, easy to manage, secured and inexpensive private cloud solutions. It supports system efficiency, resource sharing, high availabilities, fault tolerance, etc. The Asus Cloud Appliance is such a solution. (2) Another solution based on CAF? is to work with the Data Center vendors to provide hosted cloud services. Our lean solution makes it possible for IDCs to provide the needed services with low cost (as low as $2000 USD a month for a two-server private cloud configured with high availability). In this way, the SMBs can enjoy the benefits of the cloud by leveraging the IDC's cloud management expertise without the need for hiring experienced cloud engineers and building expensive machine rooms or paying an arm and leg for hosted cloud services. CAF? has been integrated with HP Cloud Service Automation and VMware vCenter. (3) Storage Cloud (COSA), COSA can be integrated with storage products from hardware equipment industry to provide file sharing, synchronization, and backup services. This allows the SMBs to own their own secured storage cloud without putting their most precious data at risk on the public cloud. COSA also supports content management functions. By focusing on the needs of small & medium businesses(SMBs), we created simple, easy to use, easy to manage, inexpensive and secured cloud solutions that can help Taiwan’s ICT Industry to gain a foothold in the worldwide cloud solutions & services for the SMBs market.
