Zudem hat TSMC die Freigabe über 4,5 Milliarden US-Dollar erhalten, um die Kapazität für die Halbleiterfertigung von Prozessoren zu erhöhen.
Der Auftragsfertiger TSMC soll gemeinsam mit Apple daran arbeiten, Micro-OLED-Panels für AR-Geräte zu produzieren. Solche Displays sind dünner, leichter und effizienter als herkömmliche, weshalb sie sich gut für Augmented-Reality-Wearables eignen

Laut der japanischen Tageszeitung Nikkei befinden sich die beiden Partner allerdings noch in einer frühen Phase der Entwicklung. Die Serienproduktion soll erst in einigen Jahren starten, geplant sei die Fertigung von Panels mit weniger als einem Zoll Durchmesser....

These facilities include four 12-inch wafer GIGAFAB® fabs, four 8-inch wafer fabs, and one 6-inch wafer fab – all in Taiwan – as well as one 12-inch wafer fab at a wholly owned subsidiary, TSMC Nanjing Company Limited, and two 8-inch wafer fabs at wholly owned subsidiaries, WaferTech in the United States and TSMC China Company Limited. In 2016, TSMC Nanjing Company Limited was established, managing a 12-inch wafer fab and a design service center.

Semiconductor shortages plaguing the automotive industry are likely to drag on past midyear, investment bank Morgan Stanley said Tuesday. The news is mixed for semiconductor stocks, analysts say.
"There is no quick remedy for tight supply conditions, though we do see bottlenecks beginning to ease by Q3," Morgan Stanley analyst Craig Hettenbach said in a note to clients Tuesday.

Semiconductor stocks with high exposure to the automotive industry should benefit from improved pricing near-term, but the chip shortages will cap revenue upside. ...
The chip shortages are mainly due to capacity constraints at foundries such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM).
"Foundries have just begun to allocate more capacity to autos, which should translate to increased output by the middle of Q2," Hettenbach said...

"Taiwan Semiconductor is the world’s largest outsourced foundry of logic semiconductor chips. TSMC’s shares appreciated 34.5% during the quarter. Taiwan Semiconductor continues to see unprecedented demand, albeit at a slightly less rapid growth rate than earlier in 2020. At the time of writing, TSMC announced strong fourth-quarter results and staggering growth in their expected capital expenditures for 2021 – growing from $17B in 2020 to $25B to $28B in 2021. Forward-looking capital expenditures are the key leading indicator of their medium-term growth rate expectations, and I expect TSMC management will continue to earn excellent returns on these colossal investments.

Foundry-Gerüchte: TSMC könnte Fabrik in Europa bauen
Ob die Europäer sich einigen können in welchem Land die FAB gebaut wird, sehe ich noch als fraglich/nicht Zeitnah an. Der Neid der Anderen ist wohl das größte Problem. Aber die Autoindustrie würde es auf jedenfall begrüßen.

with orders Samsung könnte davon profitieren

TSMC accounted for 54 percent of the global foundry market against Samsung Electronics’ 17 percent in 2020. Among global foundry companies, the two alone can mass-produce 10 nm or smaller products. Due to this situation, it is not easy for TSMC alone to handle the demand for semiconductors from ICT companies.

Until now, many foundry orders have been awarded to TSMC, which sticks to its business motto of "not competing with customers." But as TSMC is unable to meet growing orders, its clients have no choice but to choose other options.

Unlike TSMC which specializes in foundry services only, Samsung Electronics is a general semiconductor company which produces a wide range of products and has competitors in diverse business areas. For this reason, it has had difficulty getting foundry orders from its competitors, who are worried about showing their designs to a formidable rival....
