中国台湾成熟制程 不跟着拼量

Group 1 - The core viewpoint highlights that while Chinese mainland wafer foundries are aggressively expanding capacity, Taiwanese manufacturers like TSMC are focusing on advanced processes and maintaining dominance in the global market by securing orders from major clients such as Apple, AMD, NVIDIA, and Qualcomm [1] - TSMC continues to lead in advanced process technology, while other Taiwanese foundries like UMC, GlobalFoundries, and Powerchip are forming alliances with international companies or enhancing niche products to avoid direct price competition with Chinese counterparts [1] - UMC is collaborating with Intel to develop 12nm technology in the U.S. and is considering entering advanced processes with a focus on 6nm technology for producing advanced WiFi, wireless RF, Bluetooth components, AI accelerators, and core processing chips for automotive applications [1] Group 2 - GlobalFoundries has been developing special process applications, focusing on silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) technologies, with plans to start mass production of 8-inch SiC wafers by the second half of 2026, targeting industrial control and consumer products initially, and later expanding into electric vehicles, AI data centers, and green energy applications [1] - Powerchip is gradually moving away from low-margin processes and seeking high-value product lines, having initiated the Wafer-on-Wafer (WoW) 3D stacking technology since 2019, particularly suitable for edge AI, automotive electronics, and high-performance computing (HPC) [2] - Motech is clearly positioning itself in the niche application market, focusing on high flexibility and customized orders, thereby strengthening its relationships with automotive and industrial control clients [2]
