What is United Microelectronics (Taiwan) known for in research?
The fields where it stands highest, over all time, ranked among every institution above the floor in each field.
| Field | World rank | Where that sits | Top-10% rate | Works |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EngineeringField | #6,937 of 11,412 | 5.1% | 517 | |
| Physical SciencesDomain | #15,331 of 21,541 | 5.2% | 628 | |
| Electrical and Electronic EngineeringSubfield | #3,326 of 4,248 | 5.7% | 405 |
Each strip is that field’s whole ranked pool, with the notch where United Microelectronics (Taiwan) sits in it, in the colour of the band that rank falls in. The track under the rate is the rate itself: it carries no world mark, because the world rate differs by field (from about 6% to 21% in this record).
