如果您希望可以时常见面，欢迎标星收藏哦~ 据业内人士22日透露，三星电子位于美国德克萨斯州泰勒市的工厂建设进度已完成99.6%，基本完 工。通常情况下，此时设备就已经运进来了，但据说三星电子不愿下订单。三星对外的表态是，泰 勒工厂将按照原计划在2026年投入运营，但三星内部和外部的预期都是，根据市场情况和订单情 况，销售额将会较低。 预计进口半导体设备的过程也将十分困难。美国政府此前宣布对半导体征收至少25%的关税，由于 半导体是国家安全的重要物品，看来不会给其他国家留下谈判的空间。这增加了半导体设备被征收 25%甚至更高高额关税的可能性。 三星电子内部人士表示，"通常情况下，工厂建成后3至6个月内就会引进设备，但考虑到三星电子 一直拖延设备投资，因此在设备进口时需要缴纳高额关税的可能性很高。"他还补充道，"由于向美 国派遣有限的劳动力比较困难，因此雇佣人力资源的成本也会很高。"更糟糕的是，ASML的极紫 外（EUV）设备每台成本高达5000亿韩元，仅关税一项就可能达到数千亿韩元。 仅从其竞争对手台积电的情况来看，中长期来看其海外工厂的盈利能力可能会受到阻碍。台积电美 国工厂已开始满负荷运转，但盈利能力却持续 ...
