first_img Anthropic's prospectus names TSMC, warning that advanced chip production capacity is concentrated in Taiwan

The AI laboratory Anthropic, which developed Claude, named TSMC in its IPO prospectus, warning that the world's most advanced chip manufacturing capacity is highly concentrated in Taiwan. The prospectus states that if TSMC's operations are disrupted, it could severely impact the supply of AI chips and affect Anthropic's business, financial condition, and operational results.According to MoneyDJ citing the prospectus, the global AI industry heavily relies on TSMC's advanced processes. Suppliers such as NVIDIA and AMD, as well as companies that design their own chips like Amazon and Google, all need TSMC to turn their designs into physical chips. The listed risks include earthquakes, typhoons, interruptions in power and water supply, as well as cross-strait geopolitical tensions, military conflicts, blockades, tariffs, and trade restrictions.The prospectus also states that if a significant event occurs in Taiwan, the supply of advanced chips could be severely hindered; due to the time-consuming nature of building and certifying alternative foundries, the impact could last for several years. The expansion of advanced processes outside Taiwan is still in its early stages, making it difficult to effectively reduce concentration risks in the short term. TSMC has been unable to fully meet market demand due to strong demand, resulting in Anthropic not being able to obtain a sufficient supply of chips in a timely manner.

first_img TSMC CoWoS price quotes are reported to be raised, with an increase of up to 20%

According to the Industrial and Commercial Times, the supply chain reveals that TSMC's CoWoS pricing is brewing a new wave of increases, with an increase of up to 20%. Some packaging delivery times have already been extended, and the pressure from tight capacity continues to rise. The rush for capacity has spread to the equipment side, and customers have no time to negotiate prices; as long as they can promise delivery times, they place orders, with equipment delivery times extending to a maximum of 8 months.Chip manufacturers point out that the demand for advanced packaging has spread from AI GPUs to server CPUs and customized ASICs, with unfulfilled orders continuing to increase. The testing time for AI chips has lengthened, putting pressure on the synchronization of packaging and testing capacity. Wafer foundries and packaging testing companies are preparing to adjust CoWoS pricing, estimating an increase of 10% to 20%. Equipment manufacturers reveal that TSMC has not renegotiated prices this year, directly purchasing at original prices without any increase in equipment functionality, with equipment delivery times extending from the past 3 to 6 months to 6 to 8 months.TSMC Chairman C.C. Wei stated at the recent earnings call that CoWoS remains the first choice for customers, with five-fold photomask size packaging already in mass production, and the development of nine-fold and fourteen-fold photomask size solutions is ongoing, while advancing CoPoS technology. Analysts estimate that by 2026, CoWoS monthly production capacity will advance to over 130,000 pieces, aiming for 200,000 pieces by 2027; related layouts include Chiayi AP7, Tainan AP8, and AP6, with the advanced packaging plant in the U.S. AP1 planned to start production in 2028.

first_img Japan approves TSMC Kumamoto Factory No. 2 to produce 3-nanometer chips, expected to start production in 2028

According to the Industrial and Commercial Times, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has approved TSMC's first phase plan for the production of advanced semiconductors using 3-nanometer process at its second factory in Kumamoto Prefecture. This will be the first time a manufacturer in Japan produces 3-nanometer chips. TSMC can further expand its production capacity based on additional support from the Japanese government. Kumamoto Prefectural Governor Seiji Kimura stated that this plan will drive a new wave of creative revitalization.The Nikkei reported that the Ministry of Economy has listed the Kumamoto second factory as a recipient of subsidies, with plans to produce 3-nanometer chips, expected to officially start production in December 2028, with final capacity depending on the amount of subsidies. The Ministry will include the budget needed for subsidies in the fiscal year 2027 budget request, with the Japanese government originally planning to provide 732 billion yen in subsidies. The Asahi Shimbun pointed out that the Kumamoto second factory is still under construction and is adjacent to the already operational Kumamoto first factory.Previously, TSMC planned for the second factory to manufacture 6-nanometer and 12-nanometer processes, with a monthly capacity of 48,000 wafers, and planned to produce 40-nanometer chips; in February this year, the plan was changed to 3-nanometer, reducing the monthly capacity to 6,000 wafers. The adjustment plan for the Kumamoto first factory was also approved by the Ministry, with the original plan to produce 55,000 wafers per month covering 22 to 28 nanometers and 12 to 16 nanometers, while the new plan stops production of 12 to 16 nanometers, changing to 45,000 wafers per month for 22 to 28 nanometers.
