On Saturday, February 8th, a make-up workday, the FAVITE office was unusually quiet because everyone had gone to participate in FAVITE’s make-up workday event: “Sports Day & Spring Dinner”!

#Work Hard, Play Hard

This corporate sports day brought together Faviters from offices in the north, central, and south regions, engaging in exciting and fun sports competitions at the Chupei Changyi Park Sports Center. This allowed colleagues to shed their usual serious expressions, run and cheer freely on the field, and build team cooperation and trust through competition and collaboration. It also fostered FAVITE’s indomitable team spirit while emphasizing employee physical health and promoting a work-life balance culture!

#春酒嗨起來

After sweating it out, it was time to celebrate! At the evening banquet, the competitive spirit of the sports day was set aside as everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the challenges and fruitful achievements of 2024. The evening’s program was filled with highlights and excitement. In addition to fun games and lucky draws, this year saw several FAVITE employees compete for the title of “FAVITE Singing Champion” through a rigorous selection process, showcasing the hidden talents of our in-house singers.

#晶彩大家長的薩克斯風演奏，引爆全場

During the banquet, FAVITE’s leaders surprised everyone by appearing with saxophones, playing melodious tunes that echoed through the venue, captivating the Faviters and immersing them in the wonderful evening.

#晶彩25，再創高峰

2025 is a special year for FAVITE. It marks the company’s 25th anniversary and a crucial time for us to break through and embrace innovation.

In AOI inspection and metrology, we will continue to deepen our R&D and innovation, pursuing even greater technological achievements. Simultaneously, across all aspects of ESG, we will scrutinize our results with higher standards and actively fulfill our corporate social responsibility.

Looking forward to 2025, FAVITE anticipates joining hands with you to reach new heights and enjoy the fruits of our success.

FAVITE recently obtained the SEMI E187 Equipment Information Security Standard Verification of Conformity (VoC) certificate issued by the Industrial Technology Research Institute’s (ITRI) Measurement Center. This certification demonstrates FAVITE’s commitment to semiconductor equipment information security and marks a significant milestone in the field of cybersecurity protection.

With the global trend in the semiconductor industry, equipment information security has become a key focus for semiconductor wafer manufacturers. The SEMI International Semiconductor Industry Association gathered a team of experts to develop the international semiconductor wafer equipment cybersecurity standard SEMI E187 in 2022. Simultaneously, through the SEMI Taiwan Semiconductor Cybersecurity Committee, along with TSMC and ITRI, revisions were made to the SEMI E187 standard, providing clear guidelines for cybersecurity protection of semiconductor equipment. The standard covers four major aspects: operating systems, endpoint protection, network security, and security monitoring, while also promoting a verification mechanism to establish a more comprehensive review system.

FAVITE has long been committed to building a secure and reliable production environment, actively implementing advanced cybersecurity architectures such as collaborative defense and zero trust in the field of cybersecurity, and establishing a rigorous vulnerability protection network. The successful acquisition of the SEMI E187 VoC certificate proves FAVITE’s investment and achievements in cybersecurity. In addition to SEMI E187, FAVITE has also passed the ISO 27001 Information Security Management System certification, further strengthening the company’s cybersecurity management system to ensure the production and information security of customers with the highest standards of cybersecurity protection.

In the future, FAVITE will continue to invest resources to deepen its cybersecurity protection capabilities and actively participate in the development and promotion of relevant industry standards, working with customers to build a safe and reliable semiconductor industry ecosystem.

The 31st Small and Medium Enterprise Innovation Research Award, organized by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, held its award ceremony on the 20th of this month. FAVITE Inc., a domestic automated optical inspection and measurement (AOI) company, won the Innovation Research Award for its outstanding technology in Micro LED mass transfer post-inspection and measurement. The award was personally presented by Minister of Economic Affairs J.W. Kuo, recognizing FAVITE’s many years of R&D investment in the Micro LED inspection and measurement field.

Currently, most Micro LED AOI can only detect defects in the Micro LED Chip on Wafer (COW) stage. However, benefiting from years of deep accumulation in image processing and machine vision, FAVITE can address the different arrangements, rotations, and offsets of chips after Carrier on Carrier (COC) re-placement. Facing tens of millions of chips with defects as small as 1 micrometer (1μm) and extremely subtle defect features, FAVITE adopted its self-developed AI AOI detection technology to overcome the problem of traditional algorithms struggling to identify defects in specific situations. At the same time, they deeply optimized the product’s user experience, ultimately winning the recognition of the judging panel and successfully achieving the honor of the “Innovation Research Award.”

FAVITE INC., established in 2000, has been in operation for nearly 25 years. It is currently a key AOI supplier to major panel manufacturers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In recent years, it has expanded its business to include Micro LED/Micro OLED, advanced semiconductor packaging, and IC substrates, providing customers with the most accurate and efficient inspection and metrology solutions, making FAVITE AOI the quality guardian of smart manufacturing.

With the rapid advancement of AI technology, the semiconductor industry and related technology sectors are moving towards a more refined and complex stage of development, leading to an increasing demand for optical inspection talent. To cultivate optical professionals that meet industry needs, FAVITE, a leading domestic AOI equipment manufacturer, is actively investing in optical education. They have partnered with the Department of Physics at Chung Yuan Christian University, donating optical inspection components worth over NT$15 million to jointly build a top-tier optical inspection talent development platform in Taiwan.

To recognize FAVITE’s contribution to education, Chung Yuan Christian University presented a Crystal Award in accordance with the “Regulations on Awards for Donations to Educational Enterprises” issued by the Ministry of Education. Chairman Chang Kuang-cheng of Chung Yuan Christian University personally presented the award during the Alumni Day, expressing gratitude for FAVITE’s generous donation and affirming the deep friendship between the two parties in industry-academia collaboration.

Vice President Tzu-yueh Wangof FAVITE stated, “Receiving the Ministry of Education’s Crystal Award is an affirmation of FAVITE’s investment in optical education. In the future, we will continue to maintain close cooperation with academia to cultivate more outstanding optical talent for Taiwan and jointly promote the development of Taiwan’s optical inspection industry.”

Through the collaborative investment of industry and academia, it is believed that not only will more learning resources and opportunities be provided to young students, cultivating the future workforce in the field of optical inspection, but also Taiwan will continue to play a crucial core role in the global semiconductor industry chain.
