ABSTRACT:
This article explores the crucial role of semiconductors in the technological era, with a focus on Taiwan's significant contributions and their implications for Vietnam's semiconductor sector development. Taiwan's advanced semiconductor industry, bolstered by strategic government policies, infrastructural development, and substantial R&D investments, has established the country as a global leader in the field. Drawing on Taiwan's successes and analyzing Vietnam's current semiconductor landscape, the study suggests pathways for Vietnam's semiconductor sector development. Despite current limitations, Vietnam has the potential to become a major participant through targeted policies, investments in education and infrastructure, and strategic international partnerships.
