TSMC supports Japan′s advanced packaging plant construction (Digitimes)
|
|
|
TSMC chairman C.C. Wei recently visited Japan and appeared alongside Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to jointly announce that Kumamoto Fab 2 will be upgraded from a 6nm to a 3nm process, signaling Japan's plan to reclaim its semiconductor glory. However, according to supply chain sources, when the Japanese government first invited TSMC to build fabs in Kumamoto, it had already mapped out three major strategies that included advancing advanced packaging and constructing new facilities. Most importantly, Japan aims to leverage its strengths in equipment and materials to reinforce its critical position and bargaining power in the advanced packaging industry chain....

India advances semiconductor ambitions as TSMC fabricates DLI-backed startup chips (Digitimes)
|
|
|
India marked a milestone in its semiconductor push as seven chip designs from startups under the design-linked incentive (DLI) scheme were successfully fabricated, including advanced nodes at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC). The progress underscores India's aim to develop indigenous chip design and manufacturing capabilities amid global supply constraints....

GlobalFoundries reinvent wafer services by integrating IP to meet evolving market demands (Digitimes)
|
|
|
The traditional wafer foundry model is transforming as leading foundries increasingly incorporate intellectual property (IP) into mature technology nodes to address economic pressures and shifting customer needs. Nearly four decades after TSMC founder Morris Chang separated chip design from wafer manufacturing, foundries are evolving from mere silicon suppliers into broader infrastructure providers offering extended platform support....

A close reading of the book behind TSMC′s Japan bet (Digitimes)
|
|
|
TSMC's decision to bring 3nm manufacturing to Japan is often explained in terms of subsidies and diversification. A better explanation sits in a book written five years ago by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi—one that C.C. Wei chose to endorse in public when the deal was finally unveiled. That book offers a useful guide to why TSMC's 3nm future is being built in Kumamoto....

Samsung foundry said to plan 10% price hike for 4nm, 8nm nodes (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Samsung Electronics' foundry business is reportedly preparing price increases for certain process technologies, including 4nm and 8nm nodes, with hikes reportedly around 10%. Despite the adjustment, Samsung is expected to maintain a pricing advantage over TSMC as TSMC continues to raise its own wafer prices....
