It took AU Optronics just 15 months to complete construction of a US$2.6 billion complex to produce 60,000 panels a month, while ProMOS Technologies, which is designing cutting-edge 90-nanometer technology to produce microchips and 40,000 300mm wafers a month, is finishing off two projects costing US$2.4 billion.
Officials have said that the optoelectronics sector will account for 34 percent of the park's ongoing investment projects, with the remaining balance filled by semiconductor, computer peripherals, precision machinery, biotechnology and telecommunications projects.
For Lawrence Rau and his mini-helicopter, the pace of expansion and the variety of different companies is just what may make his project fly.
