How Taiwan Built Its Semiconductor Industry ǀ A Chip Odyssey



Semiconductors form the basis of much of our modern technology, from smartphones and AI to Industry 4.0; these chips are essential to modern life. “A Chip Odyssey” charts Taiwan’s transformation into a global semiconductor powerhouse. This film reveals the journey, the bold bets, and the expert architects who shaped the semiconductor industry as we know it today.

“A Chip Odyssey” traces Taiwan’s journey from humble beginnings to its emergence as
a critical pillar of the digital world. Through the eyes of pioneering engineers, female line technicians, frontline policymakers, visionary scientists, and a new generation now facing critical choices, the film reveals how, half a century ago, an entire island came together in a high-stakes gamble to shape its own destiny — and the future of global technology.

This is not just a chronicle of technological ascent; it is a powerful testament to the spirit of a small nation that poured its heart and soul into survival, innovation, and global relevance. As tensions rise and the semiconductor race intensifies, the film reminds us that behind every chip lies a human story; and behind every breakthrough, a cross-generational gamble.

Directed by award-winning Hsiao Chu-Chen and produced by semiconductor veteran Ben Chen and acclaimed Oscar member Ben Tsiang, this project draws on insights from voices across generations, from early contributors to today’s professionals in the semiconductor industry.

  1. 感謝這群默默付出的所有人,沒有你們就沒有現在台灣能撼動全球的技術人才,愛你們愛台灣❤❤❤❤

  2. 台灣的發展真的很不容易,希望大家團結起來啊! 國內政治都是一時的,對外要盡量團結! 向前走不管藍綠都有功勞

  3. 沒有中華民國!沒有國民黨!沒有蔣經國、孫運璿、李國鼎..就沒有現在的臺灣科技之島!
    這段歷史不能忘,不能被扭曲

  4. 可惜民進黨扯後腿,炒房殺新生兒,停止核能去炒太陽能。現在新生兒二十幾萬剩下不到十萬。
    國發會也預估台灣人口要腰斬了

  5. 當初那些成就台積電的人呢?李國鼎與孫運璿?半導體跟當今朝廷小賴小英有什麼關係?七月活見X了!怎麼有種民近黨式的 莒光教學,或文革樣板戲的菲林,難道又要進行歷史大腸「盤據」?

  6. 看看現在的國民黨被共諜馬畜、政二代們毀黨奪權跪舔投共,原來整個黨都是共諜,2026年正式投降共產黨,真是丟臉。

  7. 感謝當年的政府的大力支持,前行政院長 孫運璿和政務委員 李國鼎,感謝張忠謀願意回台灣,感謝飛利浦投資台灣!!!

  8. LMAO. It's like the only thing we're good at. The story is getting old, REALLY OLD. How about deal with DRUGS and DRUNK drivers that's kill our people DAILY?? OMG we got TSMC!!

  9. 7月份传出消息禁止到台湾代工,我查了一下,联发科9成市场依赖中国,台积电依赖的各种小材料真不少。中国光模拟芯片就从台湾进口1000亿美元~这是不能容忍的,因为2027到了

  10. 李国鼎他们集结的是海外华人的力量,他是非常民族主义的中国精英。他们生于抗战时期,你们别忘了,初衷不是给台湾人搞一个要饭德金碗,而是厚植中国产业,进而强大中国!另外,你们搭上了中国改革开放的市场空间,本来要和美国人争食,稍有不慎就会被美利坚打死,就像日本一样,可中国加入了,蛋糕变大了,至今都是如此吧!台湾人坐享其成,但台湾人不会安稳的,半导体深层技术你们真的掌握吗?现在供应链争夺,你们能决定吗?当然还有武统,搞不好中国宁愿破坏也不愿接收,对我们来说,人比工厂重要!还有,在芯片产业链,中国一点都不希望依赖别人,而我们恰好有足够人才和市场空间去做伟大的事
