Definition of High-Tech Facility
Based on global technological intensity and the R&D intensity of high-technology products, the Directorate for Science, Technology and Innovation of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) concluded that high-tech industries can be categorized into six areas. They are the industries in aerospace, pharmaceuticals, computers and office machinery, communication equipment and scientific instruments. Meanwhile, the Council for Economic Planning & Developing (CEPD) of Taiwan Executive Yuan (now the National Development Council ) classified the high-tech industries into 6 categories in 1982 .
The 6 categories consist of Integrated Circuits (Semiconductor,) Optoelectronics, Biotechnology, Telecommunications, Precision Machinery, and Computer & Peripherals.
There are various definitions for high-tech. High-Tech defined by this HTFRC are, but not limited to, the advanced science technologies applied in the fields of microelectronics, optoelectronics, precision equipment, telecommunication, nanotech, pharmaceutics, biotech, medical devices, animal experiment, aviation, aerospace,mega data center,robot,artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
根據全球技術密集度與高科技產品的研發密集度，經濟合作暨發展組織（OECD）科學技術與創新署，歸納出高科技產業可分為六大領域，分別是航太、製藥、電腦與辦公機械、通訊設備以及科學儀器。同時，台灣行政院經濟建設委員會（現國家發展委員會）則於1982年將高科技產業分類為六大類。
這六大類包括積體電路（半導體）、光電、生物科技、電信、精密機械以及電腦暨週邊。
高科技的定義相當多元。本高科技廠房設施研究中心（HTFRC）所定義的高科技，包含但不限於應用在微電子、光電、精密設備、電信、奈米科技、製藥、生物科技、醫療器材、動物實驗、航空、航太、超大型資料中心、機器人、人工智慧以及量子計算等領域的前沿科學技術。
