台积电正在考虑2026年将其所有高端工艺制程提高5%~10%的价格，以抵消美国关税、汇率波动和供应链价格压力。台积电已将更高的2026年报价传达给了代工厂合作伙伴，其中包括5纳米/4纳米、3纳米和2纳米等制程。这意味着台积电高端工艺的主要客户，如英伟达和苹果，现在需要为芯片支付更高的成本。针对是否考虑通过“涨价”方式来解决当前问题，台积电董事长魏哲家曾经幽默回应：“心里想的事情，嘴巴不能讲。”（Digitimes） ...

台积电2nm产线将全面排除中国设备的消息引发市场担忧，不止大陆半导体设备遭受冲击，台湾半导体业界亦风声鹤唳。 据悉，台积电2nm已逐步替换 中微公司和屹唐股份美国子公司Mattson Technology的设备，这些企业曾参与其先进制程生产。 最近据Digitimes报道，台积电将再次对其供应链进行提前审查，这次的目标涵盖"大联盟"与"小联盟"成员，其中包括众多台湾本地设备与材料供应商。 需要指出的是，随着中国大陆加速半导体自主化，我国台湾厂商在台积电之外获得了大量订单。无论是直接合作、通过本地合作伙伴，还是在中国大陆设 厂，与中国大陆客户合作变得愈加有吸引力，因为来自中国大陆晶圆厂和封测厂的订单往往毛利更高、规模更大。业内人士指出，台积电不仅在排除大陆 供应商、审查台湾厂商的中国大陆营收，还在增加对美欧日设备与材料的依赖。然而，由于台湾厂商本身占比相对较小（主要集中于后段设备），转单至 国外的实际好处有限。 部分供应商进一步指出，台积电订单利润较低，且往往要求提供两年的免费试用。因此，一些企业不愿意为争取台积电订单而亏损。 虽然成为台积电供 应商能提升企业形象、技术认可度与市场声誉，但实际财务收益有限。在必 ...
