美国商务部长霍华德・卢特尼克（Howard Lutnick）表示，随着特朗普政府加大对额外外国投资的 呼吁，未在美国投资的韩国存储芯片制造商和中国台湾企业可能面临高达 100% 的关税，除非它们承 诺增加在美国本土的产量。 在纽约州锡拉丘兹郊外举行的美光科技公司（Micron Technology Inc.）新工厂破土动工仪式后，卢 特尼克表示，根据与中国台湾的贸易协定中阐明的潜在征税规定，也可能影响到韩国的芯片制造商。 "所有想要生产存储芯片的人都有两个选择：要么支付 100% 的关税，要么在美国建厂，" 卢特尼克 周五在回答记者提问时说，他没有点名任何特定的公司。"这就是产业政策。" 卢特尼克的言论呼应了周四签署中国台湾贸易协议后的一项警告，该协议给予承诺在美国制造业投资 的公司基于配额的关税减免。"如果他们不在美国建厂，" 卢特尼克告诉 CNBC，"关税很可能是 100%。" 目前，唐纳德・特朗普暂时推迟了对大多数外国制造的半导体征收关税，而是要求卢特尼克和美国贸 易代表杰米森・格里尔（Jamieson Greer）与贸易伙伴谈判，以减少美国对芯片进口的依赖。白宫本 周早些时候表示，特朗普可能会 "在不 ...

Core Viewpoint - Micron Technology has announced a strategic acquisition of Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation's P5 wafer fab in Taiwan for a total price of $1.8 billion, aiming to enhance its DRAM production capacity to meet the growing global demand for storage chips [1][2]. Group 1: Acquisition Details - The acquisition involves a cash payment of $1.8 billion (approximately NT$56.9 billion) for the P5 wafer fab located in Miaoli County, Taiwan, which is a 12-inch wafer facility with a cleanroom area of about 300,000 square feet [1]. - The transaction is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2026, with significant DRAM capacity growth anticipated starting in the second half of 2027 [1][2]. - The proximity of the P5 fab to Micron's existing facility in Taichung is expected to enhance operational synergies [1]. Group 2: Strategic Importance - Micron's Executive Vice President, Manish Bhatia, emphasized that this acquisition will complement Micron's current operations in Taiwan and effectively increase production capacity to better serve customers in a market where demand exceeds supply [2]. - The P5 fab is set to focus on niche processes such as 55nm and 40nm, with an initial design capacity of approximately 40,000 to 50,000 wafers per month, although only about 8,000 wafers per month of related equipment have been deployed due to market conditions [2]. Group 3: Historical Context - Micron's expansion in the semiconductor industry has been closely tied to the Taiwanese market, having previously acquired Elpida in 2012 and later acquiring a controlling stake in Nanya Technology [3]. - The acquisition of Powerchip's P5 fab is seen as a response to the increasing demand driven by AI applications, highlighting Micron's urgent need to expand its production capacity [3].
