Taiwan Semiconductor Supply Chain

I was just reading through Siliconware's 2006 Annual Report where I came accross this on page 23.

"Taiwan’s semiconductor industry supply chain is remarkable. There are 268 IC design houses, 8 wafer material suppliers, 4 photo-mask manufacturers, 13 foundries, 33 assembly manufacturers, 35 testing houses, 15 substrate providers,and 4 lead frame providers in Taiwan."

This gives a further perspective of the semiconductor industry in Taiwan.
