HSINCHU, TAIWAN – January 13, 2025 – Integrated Service Technology (iST), a global leader in semiconductor verification and analysis, is proud to announce that it has been awarded the Outstanding Industry Contribution Award at The Physical Society of Taiwan (TPS) in 2025. The award was presented during the grand opening ceremony of the 2026 TPS Annual Meeting, recognizing iST’s long-standing dedication to industry-academic collaboration and its significant role in nurturing next-generation STEM talent.
The TPS Annual Meeting is the premier event for the physics community in Taiwan, serving as a vital platform where academia, education, and industry converge to share groundbreaking research and innovation. iST has distinguished itself through years of active engagement, including strategic industry-university partnerships, corporate internship programs, collaborative research projects, and scholarship initiatives. These efforts foster a meaningful dialogue between scholars and practitioners, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world engineering challenges.
“In the classroom, students excel at mastering complex theories and formulas. However, the industrial landscape presents ‘real-world’ problems that don’t always have a textbook answer,” stated iST. “By opening our labs to interns, we provide students with hands-on experience in chip verification, failure analysis (FA), material analysis (MA), and data interpretation. This immersive environment helps bridge the gap between academic theory and practical application.”
Beyond collaborative research, iST’s internship and scholarship programs are designed to provide students with authentic workplace experience and essential learning resources. iST believes that the sustainable development of physics and engineering talent requires more than just individual excellence; it demands a structured, long-term ecosystem of support.
Looking ahead, iST remains committed to deepening its ties with the academic community. The company aims to further refine its practice-oriented training environment, ensuring a steady influx of high-caliber talent into Taiwan’s technology sector and contributing to the long-term vitality of the global semiconductor supply chain.
