TSMC将扩大日本工厂,投入17B美元投资,在全球供应链努力中转向3nm芯片生产。 TSMC to expand Japan plant with $17B investment, shifting to 3nm chip production amid global supply chain efforts.

电信公司计划以170亿美元的资金扩建其位于日本的熊本的工厂,生产先进的3纳米芯片, 这与其原计划的6-12纳米技术相比是一个显著的升级. TSMC plans a $17 billion expansion of its Kumamoto, Japan, facility to produce advanced 3-nanometer chips, a significant upgrade from its original plan for 6- to 12-nanometer technology. 日本的Yomiuri报纸报导这项举动, 反映出在全球对AI和国防相关芯片的需求不断上升的情况下, 政府日益支持并做出战略努力加强半导体供应链。 The move, reported by Japan’s Yomiuri newspaper, reflects growing government support and strategic efforts to strengthen semiconductor supply chains amid rising global demand for AI and defense-related chips. 日本也在投资国内芯片制造商Rapidus, 官员表示两家公司将服务于不同的市场。 Japan is also investing in domestic chipmaker Rapidus, with officials stating the two companies will serve different markets. 虽然临时技术监测中心尚未正式确认3nm的转变,但该项目与使芯片制造多样化和减少地缘政治风险的更广泛的国际努力相一致。 While TSMC has not officially confirmed the 3nm shift, the project aligns with broader international efforts to diversify chip manufacturing and reduce geopolitical risks.
