The Ministry of Economic Affairs yesterday launched a Web site designed to provide easy access to information about the Triple Stimulus Vouchers.
The Web site, which can be accessed at 3000.gov.tw, provides detailed information about the vouchers in Chinese and English, the ministry said.
Part of the government’s plan to boost the local economy after the COVID-19 outbreak, the vouchers cost NT$1,000 and are worth NT$3,000.
All Taiwanese nationals and foreign spouses with resident certificates are eligible for the vouchers.
The vouchers can be ordered before their release from Wednesday next week to July 7 via the Web site.
The printed vouchers can then be collected from July 15 to July 31 at designated convenience stores by providing a National Health Insurance card, national identification card or resident certificate as proof of eligibility, the ministry said.
The NT$1,000 payment can be made online via the Web site or at the designated convenience stores.
People can also purchase the vouchers directly from any post office from July 15 onward by presenting one of the above-mentioned documents.
Those who want to redeem the vouchers through credit card purchases can set up their cards to do so from Wednesday next week onward through their card issuer.
People who spend NT$3,000 via credit card from July 15 to Dec. 31 would see a NT$2,000 reduction on their credit card bill, the ministry said.
The vouchers can also be redeemed using electronic tickets.
Similar to credit card holders, owners of electronic tickets can link their cards to the program through their card issuers from Wednesday next week.
After spending NT$3,000, they can get back NT$2,000 after swiping their cards at designated convenience stores, the ministry said, adding that notifications would be sent to those eligible via text message.
Lastly, the vouchers can also be redeemed through mobile payments.
Following the same rules as for credit card holders and electronic ticket users, mobile payment users can set up their preferred system online from Wednesday next week.
With this year’s Semicon Taiwan trade show set to kick off on Wednesday, market attention has turned to the mass production of advanced packaging technologies and capacity expansion in Taiwan and the US. With traditional scaling reaching physical limits, heterogeneous integration and packaging technologies have emerged as key solutions. Surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC) and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips has put technologies such as chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS), integrated fan-out (InFO), system on integrated chips (SoIC), 3D IC and fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP) at the center of semiconductor innovation, making them a major focus at this year’s trade show, according
DEBUT: The trade show is to feature 17 national pavilions, a new high for the event, including from Canada, Costa Rica, Lithuania, Sweden and Vietnam for the first time The Semicon Taiwan trade show, which opens on Wednesday, is expected to see a new high in the number of exhibitors and visitors from around the world, said its organizer, SEMI, which has described the annual event as the “Olympics of the semiconductor industry.” SEMI, which represents companies in the electronics manufacturing and design supply chain, and touts the annual exhibition as the most influential semiconductor trade show in the world, said more than 1,200 enterprises from 56 countries are to showcase their innovations across more than 4,100 booths, and that the event could attract 100,000 visitors. This year’s event features 17
EXPORT GROWTH: The AI boom has shortened chip cycles to just one year, putting pressure on chipmakers to accelerate development and expand packaging capacity Developing a localized supply chain for advanced packaging equipment is critical for keeping pace with customers’ increasingly shrinking time-to-market cycles for new artificial intelligence (AI) chips, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) said yesterday. Spurred on by the AI revolution, customers are accelerating product upgrades to nearly every year, compared with the two to three-year development cadence in the past, TSMC vice president of advanced packaging technology and service Jun He (何軍) said at a 3D IC Global Summit organized by SEMI in Taipei. These shortened cycles put heavy pressure on chipmakers, as the entire process — from chip design to mass
Germany is to establish its first-ever national pavilion at Semicon Taiwan, which starts tomorrow in Taipei, as the country looks to raise its profile and deepen semiconductor ties with Taiwan as global chip demand accelerates. Martin Mayer, a semiconductor investment expert at Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), Germany’s international economic promotion agency, said before leaving for Taiwan that the nation is a crucial partner in developing Germany’s semiconductor ecosystem. Germany’s debut at the international semiconductor exhibition in Taipei aims to “show presence” and signal its commitment to semiconductors, while building trust with Taiwanese companies, government and industry associations, he said. “The best outcome
