AI boom threatens global chip supply, automakers warned (Digitimes)
|
|
|
The Covid-19 pandemic once sparked a wave of upgrades for personal computers and smartphones, fueling strong demand for semiconductors. However, it also exposed vulnerabilities in supply chains, leaving companies like TSMC entangled in the global automotive chip crunch and prompting the US and Europe to invite TSMC to build factories on their soil....

Exclusive: TSMC reshapes advanced packaging expansion, shifting AP8, AP7, and US fab plans (Digitimes)
|
|
|
The surge in generative AI (GenAI) and high-performance computing (HPC) demand has pushed advanced semiconductor packaging to become the most critical and constrained capacity bottleneck globally. According to supply chain sources, TSMC will add a P2 fab at its Southern Taiwan Science Park AP8 site, with both fabs focusing on CoWoS technology. Meanwhile, the Chiayi AP7 facility, originally planned for WMCM, SoIC, and CoPoS packaging, will switch from SoIC to CoWoS. This means that over the next two years, TSMC will significantly ramp up CoWoS capacity, prompting Taiwanese equipment and materials suppliers within the CoWoS ecosystem to accelerate expansions amid full order books, according to sources from the upstream supply chain....

Upstream firms say US investment unprofitable if gross margin below 50% (Digitimes)
|
|
|
Following the signing of the Taiwan-US investment cooperation memorandum of understanding (MOU), the next step is to finalize the agreement on reciprocal trade (ART) between the two countries. As Taiwanese supply chains pursue strategies of making collective moves in the US, some companies express willingness to follow the lead of TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker who is investing enormous sums in building wafer fabs in the US. However, upstream players admit that with high production costs in the US, investments may not be profitable unless their gross margins exceed 50%....
