TSMC, the Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing company, announced progress in the development of its 1.4nm-class technology node, A14, during the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting. The company plans to begin volume production of its 2nm process chips, N2, in 2025, with the N2P process expected to reach mass production by the end of 2026. Market analysts predict that TSMC’s A14 process could debut between 2027 and 2028. While TSMC is also developing cutting-edge technologies like CFETs to boost chip performance and energy efficiency, the initial A14 process is expected to use GAAFETs technology. The use of High-NA EUV lithography technology in TSMC’s future processes, including the A14 process, remains unconfirmed. Other industry players like Intel are also adopting next-generation EUV technology with a numerical aperture of 0.55.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) and the Arizona Building and Construction Trades Council (AZBTC) have reached a collaboration agreement to resolve labor disputes and enhance the development of TSMC’s semiconductor manufacturing facility in Phoenix. The deal includes increased workforce training, improved safety transparency, and the formation of a quarterly committee to ensure implementation. TSMC has committed a US＄40 billion investment in its Arizona production site and aims to hire locally while also employing foreign workers with specialized experience. The agreement has been hailed as a victory for Arizona workers and the construction timeline of TSMC Arizona. To address the labor shortage, TSMC has invested US＄15 million in the Arizona Pipe Trades to expand apprenticeship training and establish a semiconductor manufacturing school.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Labor has denied rumors of plans to introduce 100,000 Indian workers by the end of the year. Labor Minister Hsu Ming-chun clarified that the consideration of India as a new source of migrant labor is aimed at addressing domestic industry shortages and reducing reliance on traditional labor markets. Hsu emphasized that this approach has gained consensus among various sectors of society. Discussions are ongoing for the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with India, but no date has been determined yet. The number of workers to be recruited from India will be decided after evaluating the current condition and statistics of industries already permitted to employ foreign labor. The process will involve fixed quotas and a cautious, gradual opening. The primary aim of the plan is to diversify the countries from which Taiwan sources its labor force, with no specific issue concerning the number of workers from India. India would need to establish a talent database and provide language and skill training for potential migrant workers to meet the requirements. Taiwan is looking to expand its labor force to meet growing demand in key industries and maintain its competitive edge in the global market.

Nvidia’s President, Jensen Huang, stated at the New York Times’ DealBook Summit that achieving U.S. independence in the chip supply chain and reducing reliance on overseas manufacturing could take 10 to 20 years. President Joe Biden’s administration has imposed a ban on chip exports to China, citing national security concerns and the need to maintain the U.S.’s lead in the semiconductor industry. Nvidia, among other companies, is impacted by these export control measures, leading to concerns about negative impacts on the company’s revenue. However, Huang revealed that Nvidia is developing chips compliant with U.S. regulations for the Chinese market and plans to re-enter once they are ready. He also warned that the export ban could accelerate China’s domestic chip development, with numerous Chinese companies already working on competing technologies. Huang emphasized that Nvidia is already a decade ahead in artificial intelligence technology and that AI and deep learning innovation involve more than just designing new chips.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) predicts a surge in artificial intelligence (AI) orders in the coming year, with October’s revenue reaching NT$243.203 billion ($8.6 billion), a 34.8 percent monthly increase and a 15.7 percent annual increase. TSMC’s stock price has also been on a steady rise, accumulating a growth of 7.5 percent since November. Morgan Stanley semiconductor research analyst Charlie Chan attributes TSMC’s revenue growth to signs of recovery and the robust demand for AI semiconductors worldwide. NVIDIA’s expanded order to TSMC, along with increased demand from clients like Apple and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), has led TSMC to accelerate the enhancement of its advanced packaging technology, Chip on Wafer on Substrate (CoWoS). CoWoS enables TSMC to effectively reduce costs and trim electric consumption by packaging chiplets on a silicon interposer and placing them on a package substrate. However, TSMC’s current CoWoS capacity remains a bottleneck for NVIDIA’s AI GPU chips, though the company forecasts a rebound in productivity by the end of 2024 to meet customer demand.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) plans to recruit over 1000 young talents in 2024, aiming to reach new recruitment heights after hiring 1135 employees this year. As a dominant chip maker, TSMC is committed to being a top industry leader in providing electric power supplies and supporting Taiwan’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The recruitment process involves multiple stages, including writing and speaking tests, on-site reviews, and hands-on task evaluations. TSMC expects to fill 965 job positions across 16 disciplines, including electric power distribution, transmission, substation, electric engineering, machinery, civil engineering, and integrated administration. The company also aims to offer 40 positions for applicants with physical and mental disabilities. Preliminary exams will be held in Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, and Hualien on May 12 next year. Successful candidates will be offered a starting salary of around NTD$ 32 thousand. TSMC encourages the public to apply for these positions and contribute to maintaining a stable and sustainable power supply for Taiwan’s future.

Minister of Economic Affairs Wang Mei-hua confirmed on Thursday (Oct. 26) that an area at the Central Taiwan Science Park in Taichung (CTSP) has been reserved for the use of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). ​​​​​​​She explained that TSMC will decide further details of the plans. Earlier in October, TSMC scraped third-phase plans to move into the Longtan Science Park in Taoyuan in a public statement following strong protests from residents. 

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has decided not to proceed with its plans to establish a new chip factory in Taoyuan’s Longtan District due to strong opposition from local residents. The company initially intended to produce chips smaller than 2 nanometers at the site, but the negative public response led to the abandonment of the project. The government’s expropriation of a land area, of which 90% is private property, sparked public dissatisfaction.
