Note:
  • IC Industry Revenue = IC design + Manufacturing + Packaging + Testing
  • IC Production Revenue = IC Design + Memory (Brand name products, mostly Memory products)
  • IC Manufacturing Revenue = Foundry + Memory (Memory (Brand name products, mostly Memory products)
  • Revenue of Inotera (subsidiary of Micron) was excluded from Taiwan Memory revenue from 2018. 
  • Only companies head-quartered in Taiwan are included in the revenue calculations.
