半導體產業為高科技產業重要的一環，它提供了所有涵蓋民生消費、電腦、通訊、自動化產業、國防工業等等之產品，任一先進的國家均以此產業為優先的產業，我國歷經20餘年紮根，已奠立良好的基礎，在21世紀，台灣半導體產業扮演了舉足輕重的角色。
如何預測景氣趨勢、了解市場的特性、設備的選擇、資本支出的時機點、財務槓桿的運用，均有其策略性規劃之必要性，此亦為企業生存發展的必要條件。本研究發出300份探索性問卷，有效回收98份，以二年以上的從業人員為對象，主要是探討四個問題：（1）對設備品牌與知名度之考量。（2）對設備品質及生命週期之考量。（3）對財務規劃之考量。（4）對風險之考量等。另外訪談了11位高階主管，主要為副總以上之主管，探討景氣預測、資本支出、設備選擇等等之問題，希望藉由問卷及訪談，了解設備採購之特性，並研究設備採購之策略，以期對現有經營者及未來進入者有所參考之價值，這也是本論文的衷心期許。

Semiconductor Manufacturing is one of the most important sectors of the high technology industries with products ranging from consumer, computer, communication, automation and defense industry. Every country in the world is taking Semiconductor Manufacturing seriously. Taiwan has already developed its semiconductor manufacturing industry for over 20 year and achieved a very strong foundation. In the 21st century, Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing industry is playing an even more important role in its overall economic development.
Forecasting, capital equipment selection, financial investment and accounting practices are all critical for strategic business decision. In fact, they are all equally important for the survival of the semiconductor manufacturing industry. An industry wide survey was conducted among professionals with a minimum of 2-year experience in Semiconductor Manufacturing industry. Out of the 300 questionnaires sent, 98 were returned for this survey. The survey covered four main topics:

1. Brand name consideration

2. Equipment reliability and product life cycle consideration

3. Financial investment consideration

4. Risk consideration

In addition, 11 senior executives at or about VP level were interviewed for the same topics. It is hoped that the result of the survey and interview can provide reference for the current and future semiconductor manufacturing industry professionals for their understanding of the characteristics of the capital equipment, the selection process and purchasing strategy.
