Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has announced that its Japan subsidiary, JASM, will construct a second wafer fabrication plant by the end of 2024. The plant is expected to be operational by the end of 2027. With support from the Japanese government, TSMC plans to begin production at its first JASM wafer fabrication plant in 2024, with a total investment exceeding US＄20 billion. The construction of the second plant is driven by increasing customer demand. The expansion aims to optimize JASM’s cost structure and supply chain efficiency, resulting in increased production. Once both plants are operational, JASM’s Kumamoto wafer fabrication plant will have a monthly capacity of over 100,000 12-inch wafers. The Japan fab will offer process technologies ranging from 40nm to 6nm, catering to automotive, industrial, consumer, and high-performance computing applications. TSMC also mentioned that capacity planning can be adjusted based on client requirements. The Kumamoto wafer plant is expected to create more than 3,400 high-tech professional jobs.

ITRI and TSMC are partnering to develop a SOT-MRAM array chip with lower power consumption and faster operation than STT-MRAM. The new design has potential applications in in-memory computation and is expected to advance the field of high-speed semiconductors. The General Director of ITRI’s Electronic and Optoelectronic System Research Laboratories, Chang Shih-chieh, highlighted the chip’s low power consumption and quick 10-nanosecond operating time, which enable improved computational efficiency and expand the potential applications beyond traditional memory-oriented scenarios. The research results were presented at the IEDM, showcasing the technology’s potential for high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and automotive chips. Additionally, ITRI’s focus on non-volatile memory technologies demonstrates their commitment to pushing the boundaries of the domestic semiconductor markets and exploring new areas of application.

This story discusses the fluctuation in shares of AUO Corporation and TV panel prices in late December. The article mentions that the price of 55-inch 4K open-cell panels dropped by US$1 (0.8%) on December 22 due to TV manufacturers ceasing production for year-end demand. However, analysts predict that tier-one TV panel makers may increase their price quotes by US$1 to US$3 in January 2024. Despite this, final transaction prices are expected to remain unchanged due to market demand. The report also suggests a potential decline in quotes for larger panel sizes, while prices for all TV panel sizes are anticipated to stabilize and rebound in February. Furthermore, favorable conditions in the panel market are predicted for 2024, driven by stabilizing industry trends and the launch of AI phones and AI PCs. AUO Chairman Paul Peng expects mild growth in the first quarter of 2024 and a market growth rate between 3% to 5% throughout the year, with higher production capacity utilization compared to 2023. Peng also notes steady demand for automotive and industrial products, which will contribute to a stable production utilization rate, and highlights the increasing use of Human Machine Interface (HMI) technologies for LED and LCD panels.

TSMC chairman Mark Liu’s upcoming retirement in 2024 has led investment experts to suggest that the semiconductor giant should slow down the progress of its new manufacturing facility in the United States. Industry analyst Jonah Cheng believes that TSMC’s policy direction will remain unchanged under the leadership of chief executive C.C. Wei, who is expected to succeed Liu as chairman. Cheng also proposes maintaining a dual leadership structure to cultivate successors from various backgrounds. Speculation suggests that Liu’s retirement may be linked to potential investment challenges in the company’s U.S. expansion. In response to these challenges, Cheng recommends a deceleration in the construction of TSMC’s second U.S. plant. He also highlights the need to assess the current downturn in the car market and economic outlook before proceeding with the German plant focused on automotive applications. Cheng suggests that the Japanese facility could be an optimal choice due to labor and power shortages in Taiwan, as well as cultural similarities and strong government support from Japan. TSMC’s primary obstacle, according to Cheng, is maintaining its leadership position in the semiconductor industry, especially after surpassing Intel. Additionally, the cyclical nature of the industry and the potential opportunities presented by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) applications pose further challenges for the company.

美國汽車安全氣囊製造商「ARC Automotive」的產品今年5月遭疑有爆炸、破裂風險，當時美國國家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）呼籲自願回收，不過被ARC拒絕；該監管機構5日罕見決議，將強制回收5200萬顆ARC安全氣囊，並於10月5日召開公開會議，若成功回收，將是史上最大規模的回收行動之一。

Taiwan Vice President Lai Ching-te visited the Taiwan-based JET Optoelectronics (JET Opto), one of the top makers of in-vehicle infotainment systems (IVI systems), on Tuesday (July 18).

美國聯邦航空總署（FAA）已經核准加州新創企業開發的「飛天車」進行測試。這是美國政府首度批准能在道路上行駛，同時又能飛行的全電動汽車。

美國汽車安全氣囊製造商「ARC Automotive」的產品遭當局質疑有爆炸、破裂風險，從2009年至今，全美已經發生7起安全氣囊破裂意外、導致人員重傷，其中有1人因此死亡。美國國家公路交通安全管理局（National Highway Traffic Safety Administration）要求，應立刻回收6700萬個安全氣囊。

根據最新的資訊，美國Fisker車廠與鴻海科技集團在2021年5月簽署框架協議，由Fisker負責開發設計、鴻海代工生產的「PEAR」（Personal Electric Automotive Revolution）平價5人座電動車款之專案，於日前展開預售。

隨著電動車持續發展，性能與續航力不斷提升的同時，另一個問題就跟著浮現出來，那就是重量。對純電動力系統而言，性能與續航力來自電池，想要提升各項表現數據，就必須增加電池所能儲存的能量，而在儲電技術沒有大幅提昇的前提下，只能靠增加電池數量取代。

越野狂熱玩家對於新一代Land Rover Defender可能會有一些不滿，更豪華、更舒適，但卻沒有過去那種單純而直接的粗獷硬派越野風範。但這也是不得已的妥協，畢竟想要經營高價豪華品牌的路線，那種開上30分鐘就能要掉半條老命的老式越野車，可不是所有家財萬貫的富豪都能忍受。但沒關係，Ineos Automotive把新一代Defender甩掉的價值觀撿了起來，旗下推出的Grenadier對於越野機能性有著近乎狂熱，打開車門後內裝布置更是讓人震驚，這根本就是飛機座艙吧！

雖然預告將於2022年開始量產的新一代XC90還沒有相關身影出現，與Volvo系出同源的性能電動車品牌搶先預告旗下第3款量產作品，同時也是第一款純電動性能休旅Polestar 3將在美國生產，並且與新世代XC90相同，都將使用Volvo新開發的SPA2模組化平台，預計於明年開始量產。而且，將生產基地設定在美國南卡羅來納，而非Polestar 1與Polestar 2的中國大陸成都，也讓Polestar品牌導入臺灣的可能性開始浮現。

想減少酒駕提高罰則固然能發揮一些效果，但需要提高臨檢能量才能夠發揮作用，但警察人力有限不可能面面俱到。因此無論是政府、車廠或者是民間團體，一直以來都在尋找更有效的解決方案。非營利組織Automotive Coalition for Traffic Safety旗下研究單位所推出的小型高科技酒精偵測裝置，或許就是這個問題的答案。

目前電動車在續航力發展上大致可以分為幾個重點，其一就是電池，增加電容量、能量密度或者是充電速度；動能回收系統也是研究重點；減輕車重減少風阻亦能對提升續航力有幫助。而2019年才成立的英國新創公司Page-Roberts Automotive則有不同看法，宣稱已經開發出革命性電動車設計解決方案，能夠讓每次充電的續航里程大幅提昇30%。
