Akihabara News — Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world’s leading contract chipmaker, has reported a significant increase in demand for its advanced semiconductor chips, driven by the global push towards artificial intelligence (AI), 5G technology, and high-performance computing applications.
In recent financial disclosures, TSMC has shown consistent revenue growth, with increases attributed to strong demand from clients like AMD and Nvidia, who utilize TSMC’s cutting-edge chip technology for their AI and computing products.
TSMC has been expanding its production capabilities, not only within Taiwan but also internationally. The company is setting up a new plant in Arizona, aiming to diversify its manufacturing base amidst US-China trade tensions.
Moreover, TSMC is pushing the boundaries of chip manufacturing with its development of 2-nanometer (nm) technology, which creates faster, more efficient, and powerful devices. Currently, TSMC is in the process of perfecting this technology through trials focused on improving yield rates, which means they are working to ensure that a higher percentage of chips produced are functional and meet quality standards. This is critical because even small improvements in yield can lead to significant savings and higher production volumes.
TSMC’s CoWoS (Chip on Wafer on Substrate) technology represents another leap forward. This method allows for chips to be stacked vertically, much like building layers in a cake, rather than just spreading them out side by side. This stacking increases the performance of the chip by allowing different parts of the chip to work closer together, reducing the distance signals need to travel, which in turn speeds up data processing and reduces power consumption.
Lastly, TSMC regularly holds supply chain management forums to discuss and strategize with partners, reflecting its commitment to managing the increased demand and ensuring supply chain resilience.
