TSMC plans to build a chip factory in Japan
TSMC, the largest semiconductor contract manufacturer, is considering building its first chip factory in Japan as Tokyo encourages manufacturers to expand semiconductor manufacturing in the country. TSMC is a key partner of Sony and other Japanese chipmakers. Four sources told Nikkei Asia that the Taiwanese company is evaluating plans to build a plant in Kumamoto […]
Revenue of contract manufacturers of semiconductor products in the last quarter was a record high
Due to the growing demand for various end devices, manufacturers are increasing their purchases of components, as a result of which, starting from 2020, there is a lack of capacity to produce semiconductor products. As a consequence, contract manufacturers of semiconductor products increase their prices for their services and favor more profitable products. This is […]
Japan wants TSMC and Sony to build 20-nanometer chip factory
The Japanese government wants Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC) and Sony Group to invest $ 9.2 billion to build the country’s first 20-nanometer chip factory. This was announced by a source with reference to the Japanese edition of Nikkan Kogyo. The publication says the facility will be built next to Sony’s image sensor plant […]
TSMC knows how to avoid future chip shortages
TSMC, the world’s largest contract manufacturer of semiconductor products, today announced that it has increased its production of microcontrollers – key automotive electronics products – by 60% this year over last year. She pledged to take “unprecedented action” to help automakers. We are talking about the redistribution of production capacity in the face of a […]
TSMC Announces Breakthrough in 1nm Technology
TSMC has partnered with National Taiwan University (NTU) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to make significant breakthroughs in the development of 1nm chip technology. IBM has the world’s first 2-nanometer chip technology The researchers found that using the semi-metal bismuth (Bi) as contact electrodes for two-dimensional elements can significantly reduce resistance and increase current. […]
Power supply failure occurred at TSMC enterprises
TSMC, the world’s largest contract chip manufacturer, said some of its facilities today experienced “short-term power drops” following a power outage across the island. The power outage has raised concerns that the global chip shortage could worsen. The shortage began late last year and has since affected several industries, from automotive to smartphones and home […]
Samsung is losing the semiconductor battle. TSMC was able to buy 70% of all machines for the production of such products from ASML
Samsung has lost another phase of the battle over semiconductor manufacturing equipment, the source said. It is no secret that the Dutch company ASML is the only large manufacturer of the corresponding equipment in the world capable of meeting the demand of the market giants. But its capabilities are not enough for everyone. The source […]
Arizona factory not yet built, but TSMC is already considering expanding it
TSMC plans to build several more chip factories in the US state of Arizona in addition to the one currently planned. Three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. The world’s largest contract chip maker announced in May 2020 that it would build a $ 12 billion factory in Arizona. The plant, designed for plates […]
The head of TSMC believes that the acute shortage of automotive microcircuits will be removed by the end of June
TSMC, the world’s largest contract manufacturer of semiconductor products, expects to be able to meet “floor level” demand for automotive chips by the end of June. The chairman of TSMC announced this to the American television company CBS. Automakers around the world are forced to close assembly lines due to chip shortages, exacerbated by US […]
