Established in 1988 as the Electronic Materials Engineering major, the Information Device Engineering major released its first graduates in 1992. With the consolidation of four related majors into the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department in 1996, it operated as the Electronic Materials major. In 2004, it was renamed as Information Device Engineering. Responding to the expanding and specialized demands of the IT industry, the major became independent from the department in 2009 and was reborn as the Semiconductor Engineering Department. Hence, from 2010, it began recruiting freshmen under this new name.

The next-generation industry is a fusion of Information Technology (IT), Nanotechnology (NT), Biotechnology (BT), Space Technology (ST), and Environmental Technology (ET). Semiconductor engineering is closely related to these technologies. The Semiconductor Engineering Department educates students in semiconductor material and device theories, and semiconductor processes through theory and practice. It aims to equip them with foundational knowledge in electronic engineering, information communication engineering, computer engineering, and material engineering for designing and applying electronic information devices. The department emphasizes hands-on education, equipped with clean rooms for manufacturing semiconductor devices, and LCD devices. Various experimental devices facilitate a comprehensive practical education, from circuit experiments to electronic device manufacturing experiments.

The master's program was established in 1995, and the doctoral program in 1998. They focus on cultivating research talents. Specialized research areas include semiconductor devices, thin-film devices, optoelectronic devices, photonic devices, communication devices, electronic ceramic devices, sensors, integrated circuit design, image processing, and communication algorithms.
