公众号记得加星标⭐️，第一时间看推送不会错过。 英特尔曾是全球最大的半导体公司，但近年来，随着这家芯片制造商落后于台积电，并花费数十亿美 元试图追赶，其市值大幅下跌。 现在，英特尔已开始大规模生产 18A 芯片，该公司称这一新的芯片节点将扭转局面。 最大的问题是什么？是说服大型芯片厂商信任英特尔，委托其在新制程节点上进行生产。目前，英特 尔唯一的主要客户就是它自己。该公司期待已久的酷睿Ultra系列3 PC处理器，代号Panther Lake， 将于明年1月上市，成为首款采用18A制程节点制造的主要产品。 "目前它已经成为内部节点了，"Futurum Group首席执行官丹尼尔·纽曼表示。"许多公司为了确保良 率和晶圆产能，已经在台积电投入了巨资，所以他们现在还不会轻易转换。" 英特尔将吸引客户的希望寄托在位于亚利桑那州钱德勒市的新芯片制造厂Fab52上。在北部约50英里 的凤凰城，台积电也新建了一座晶圆厂，用于生产4纳米制程芯片。其最先进的2纳米制程芯片目前仅 在中国台湾生产。 英特尔的18A工艺在某些指标上，例如晶体管密度，通常与台积电的2nm工艺不相上下。但由于英特 尔在经历了多年前几代工艺的延误后仍在 ...

林发成还强调，台积电的大部分研发人员仍留在中国台湾，并指出公司的研发布局符合政府要求。实 际上，这种工程师和科学家的集中部署确保了未来的工艺开发能够扎根于台湾本土，即便公司在海外 建设产能和研发中心。林先生还强调，半导体行业所有合格人员均受监管，这不仅保护了知识产权和 硬件，也保护了人力资本。 公众号记得加星标⭐️，第一时间看推送不会错过。 据消息报道，中国台湾担心台积电进军美国市场会削弱台湾在半导体领域的领先地位，正在考虑制定 新的出口规则，只允许这家全球最大的晶圆代工厂出口比其最先进生产节点落后两代的技术。如果这 项规则得以实施，可能会减缓台积电在美国的扩张步伐，因为该公司目前主要依靠在美国积极建设先 进的晶圆厂。 这项新出口政策的核心是政府的"N-2规则"，该规则仅允许将落后中国台湾领先技术两代的工艺技术 出口海外。此前，中国台湾坚持"N-1规则"，允许台积电出口所有落后台湾领先制造工艺至少一代的 技术。新规则更为严格；根据对"代"的计算方式，这意味着台积电可能只能出口落后其最先进技术两 到四年的工艺节点。 根据中国台湾科技委员会成员林发成的说法，按照这种方法，如果台积电在台湾开发出 1.2nm 或 1 ...
