摘要

摘 要

半導體是各式電子產品所必須使用的關鍵性零組件，該產業的技術發展也常被視為國家現代化的指標之一，更被亞洲各國視為國家重大發展政策。
　　由於半導體產品的研發，須結合無數的人才、資金、技術基礎才能成功，因此近年來，包括美、日等半導體先進國家的業者，開始進行跨國際的企業合作，希望藉由策略聯盟，來減少研發風險，如此不難發現半導體產業所需的人力資源與技術研究經費之龐大，半導體產業既是技術密集的產業，對於研發專利質與量的要求上就變得非常明顯，有鑑於此，本文就以半導體產業的專利品質來討論與該產業的獲利能力之間的關連性，在藉由學者Deng, Lev and Narin (1999)與Thomas, McMillan and Abington(2001)的研究為基礎，並利用典型相關，實證出專利品質與企業績效有者正相關的關聯性。
對於論文所呈現的研究結論如下:

ㄧ. 美國半導體產業專利質化指標與企業財務績效兩者具
有顯著相關。
二. 美國半導體產業技術強度與科學強度對銷售額與淨收
入有顯著關係。

Abstract

Semiconductor is an essential part for various kinds of electric products. Technological developments in the semiconductor industry are often regarded as an indicator for a country’s modernization level. They’re also one of the major development strategies in Asian countries.

Since developing semiconductor products requires (has to combine) numerous talents, funds and technological bases, leading manufacturers from the U.S., Japan, etc. have begun multinational corporate cooperation in recent years, in the hope of reducing development risks by strategic alliance. It shows that the semiconductor industry needs a great number of human resources and budgets on technological research. Since the industry is technology-intense, it inevitably focuses on patents’ quality and quantity. This thesis is going to discuss the relevance between the quality of patents and the profitability of the semiconductor industry on the basis of studies by Deng, Lev and Narin (1999) and Thomas, McMillan and Abington (2001). Canonical correlation analysis is then used to prove that there’s a positive correlation between the quality of patents and the financial performance of the semiconductor industry.

This thesis presents the following results:

1. Indicators for patent qualitization of the U.S. semiconductor industry are highly relevant with corporate financial performances.

2. Technological strength of the U.S. semiconductor industry has a remarkable relation with its sales and earnings
