Best New Product Development Award: KovioKovio wins the IDTechEx New Product Development Award for its printed silicon RFID platform for item-level intelligence.

Technical Development Device Award: Plastic LogicPlastic Logic has made advances in plastic electronics that are enabling the worlds' thinnest, lightest, largest and most robust plastic displays. Plastic Logic had to develop methods for manufacturing high-resolution transistor arrays at low-temperatures.

Technical Development Materials Award: PlextronicsPlextronics recently made available the Plexcore® PV 1000 and Plexcore® PV 2000 ink systems for use in research-scale printed solar cell development.

Technical Development Manufacturing Award: NovaCentrixNovaCentrix wins this award for its PulseForge™ line of processing tools. PulseForge™ tools sinter in milliseconds metal and semiconductor inks, including on low temperature, flexible substrates such as PET and paper.

2009年，引領著全球高科技產業的ISSCC將於2月8～12日在美國舊金山舉行。國際半導體重要組織IEEE固態電路學會(IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society; IEEE SSCS)自1953年起，負責主導主辦每年一屆的「ISSCC國際固態電路研討會」，該研討會不但是全球先進固態電路領域研發趨勢的重要指標，更被IC領域視為技術發表最高殿堂。

均豪精密工業股份有限公司大舉投入太陽能電池產業生產設備，經過兩年的努力終於有成，於9/16/2008正式推出全自動太陽能電池Cell段生產設備，不僅是台灣第一條自動化太陽電池全線生產線，更重要的是成功的開發完成擴散爐(DiffusionFurnace)、化學氣相沉積(PlasmaEnhanceChemicalVaporDeposition,PECVD)及快速燒結爐(RapidFiringFurnace)三項製程設備，使台灣國產化設備繼成功踏入液晶面板領域後，再次成功地踏入太陽能電池產業。

思源科技於9月初日宣佈其規則式(rule-based)電路圖自動產生器(schematicdiagramgenerator)獲得美國專利。這項專利是思源科技Laker客製化IC設計技術所獲得的第七項美國專利。這些專利肯定了思源科技所開發的Laker可掌控性自動化佈局技術確實可讓IC設計工程師避免大量繁複瑣碎的工作，協助其能以最短時間產生最佳結果。這就是Laker客製化IC設計技術的創新與獨特。連同這項最新獲得的美國專利，思源科技所開發的Novas驗證強化技術及Laker客製化IC設計技術，總共擁有超過20項美國及台灣的專利。
