Amid food safety concerns, Taiwan’s Lunchbox Industry Association chairman advises caterers to temporarily replace rice noodles. Investigation underway following food poisoning incident at Polam Kopitiam in Taipei. Proper preservation emphasized to mitigate risks.

Formosa Plastics Corporation will invest NT＄318.03 million into Formosa Heavy Industries to expand its business operations. The corporation plans to spend NT＄59.58 million on two designation projects and two initiatives to upgrade manufacturing processes. The decision is a response to the impact of China’s ＂Refining-chemical integration＂ endeavor, which has caused a dip in demand for petrochemicals and plastics. By enhancing equipment, Formosa Plastics aims to increase carbon fiber and PVC production capabilities, anticipating a positive market boost. Despite reduced shipping days during the Lunar New Year, the company projects a seasonally high-demand period post-Lunar New Year. With lower inflation in Western countries and growing consumer confidence, the market is expected to warm up.

Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai declares that Taiwan should not rely on China’s market, as it hampers Taiwan’s economy. He expresses regret that the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) did not establish a factory in Taoyuan and that the Asia Silicon Valley Innovation and Development Center in Taoyuan has been halted. Chen highlights that TSMC’s 2-nanometer site in Kaohsiung is already operational. He points out that Kaohsiung’s 5G internet innovation park, modeled after Taoyuan’s success, is thriving, while Taoyuan’s center has been halted. Chen emphasizes Taiwan’s dominance in the global semiconductor industry, with TSMC controlling 92 percent of advanced manufacturing processes and 62 percent of global production value, and advocates for the development of Asia Silicon Valley as the correct path.

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) announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2023, revealing a capital expenditure projection of NT＄226.6 billion for the year. The company plans to allocate 70% of this capital outlay to advanced processes, 20% to specialized processes, and 10% to packaging and other related sectors. TSMC’s consolidated revenue for the third quarter decreased by 10.8% compared to the same period last year, reaching approximately NT＄546.73 billion. The earnings per share (EPS) stood at NT＄8.14.
