Taiwan United Microelectronics Corp. npaj yuav nqis peev $ 5 nphom hauv lub chaw tsim khoom chip hauv Singapore, lub tuam txhab thib ob hauv nroog-xeev, thaum muaj kev xav tau thoob ntiaj teb rau cov chips semiconductor.
Lub Hoobkas yuav muaj peev xwm txhua hli ntawm 30,000 wafers, nrog rau kev tsim khoom yuav tsum pib thaum kawg ntawm 2024, UMC tau hais hauv nqe lus rau hnub Thursday. Lub tuam txhab Taiwanese chips tau hais tias $ 5 billion cog - uas yuav ua rau 22 thiab 28 nanometer chips rau tsheb, IoT cov cuab yeej thiab PCs - yuav yog ib qho ntawm nws cov hom siab tshaj plaws hauv Singapore.
"Singapore tau yog ib qho ntawm cov chaw tsim khoom tseem ceeb rau semiconductor chips thiab UMC muaj fab hauv Singapore, yog li kev nthuav dav ua rau lub tuam txhab," said Dale Gai, tus thawj coj tshawb fawb ntawm Taiwan ntawm Counterpoint uas tsom mus rau semiconductors.
UMC tau ua lag luam hauv Singapore rau ntau tshaj 20 xyoo, suav nrog kev ua haujlwm ntawm R & D chaw rau "cov thev naus laus zis tshwj xeeb," raws li cov lus hais.
Singapore muab UMC "kev sib txawv" thiab txo qhov kev pheej hmoo loj zuj zus ntawm kev muaj nws cov khoom siv ntau hauv Taiwan, hais tias Mario Morales, IDC pawg thawj coj ntawm kev tshawb fawb semiconductor. Hauv Singapore, UMC koom nrog cov phooj ywg chipmaker GlobalFoundries thiab Idaho-based nco-chip txiag Micron.
Beh Swan Gin, tus thawj coj ntawm Singapore's Economic Development Board, tsoomfwv lub luag haujlwm rau kev nyiam cov peev txheej txawv teb chaws, tau hais hauv nqe lus hais tias UMC txoj kev npaj rau lub Hoobkas tshiab "raws li Singapore lub zeem muag kom loj hlob ntxiv thiab ua kom lub luag haujlwm ntawm Singapore nyob rau hauv lub ntiaj teb no cov saw hlau. rau semiconductors. "
Lub fab tshiab yuav tau txais kev txhawb nqa los ntawm cov neeg siv khoom uas tau kos npe rau ntau xyoo kev cog lus kom ruaj ntseg chipmaking peev los ntawm 2024, UMC tau hais hauv nqe lus. Cov kev cog lus no tau nthuav tawm "kev xav tau zoo rau UMC's 22/28 nanometer thev naus laus zis rau xyoo tom ntej," tsab ntawv tshaj tawm tau hais.
"UMC yog ib qho ntawm cov chaw tsim khoom loj ntawm 22/28 nanometer node, nrog kev ua thawj coj hauv qee qhov chaw," Gai sau tseg. "Peb ntseeg tias qhov kev pib pab UMC kom yeej ntau qhov kev txiav txim mus sij hawm ntev los ntawm cov neeg siv khoom sab saum toj uas pom qhov kev cog lus ntawm UMC qhov kev nthuav dav ntxiv."
Pandemic-era muas ntawm PCs thiab smartphones rau kev ua haujlwm thiab kev kawm hauv tsev tsim ib qho rov qab rau cov chips. Kev lag luam tsheb ib leeg xav tias yuav poob $ 210 nphom hauv cov nyiaj tau los vim qhov tsis txaus. Kev siv thev naus laus zis los nruab rau ntawm lub Hoobkas tshiab Singapore yog qhov tseem ceeb rau cov xov tooj smartphones, cov cuab yeej ntse hauv tsev thiab siv tsheb hluav taws xob, UMC tau hais hauv nqe lus.
Morales hais tias "Kev lag luam tsis txaus tam sim no tau mob siab rau cov neeg paub tab thiab cov thev naus laus zis tseem ceeb uas UMC feem ntau sib tw," Morales hais. "Lub peev xwm no yuav pab txo cov kev txwv nyob rau lub sijhawm ntev thiab yuav tso cai rau UMC los tsim kev sib raug zoo nrog cov neeg siv khoom uas twb muaj lawm uas tau tos lub tuam txhab los ua qhov kev cog lus no hauv kev lag luam."
Thoob ntiaj teb, UMC khiav 12 cov nroj tsuag, nrog kev sib xyaw ua ke ntawm ntau dua 800,000 wafers ib hlis. Dhau li ntawm Singapore, lub tuam txhab Taiwanese kuj muaj chaw ua haujlwm hauv Suav teb, Europe, Nyiv, Kaus Lim Qab Teb thiab Tebchaws Meskas.
