底层半导体资本和运营成本动态 近年来，全球多国通过战略政策推动半导体制造和供应链的本土化。例如，美国推出《两党基础设 施法案》、《芯片与科学法案》、《通胀削减法案》及各州激励措施，试图吸引企业在本土建厂。 类似的激励措施也在欧洲、印度、日本、中国大陆、东南亚、韩国与中国台湾陆续推出，从而带动 全球晶圆厂建设热潮。 如果您希望可以时常见面，欢迎标星收藏哦~ 到2030年，全球半导体公司计划在新晶圆厂（fabs）建设上投资约1万亿美元，行业年收入也有望 突破1万亿美元。这一数字尚未包括生成式AI（gen AI）在中等乐观情境下可能带来的额外增长潜 力。除了满足日益增长的市场需求，这些投资也将增强各地区在半导体价值链上的供应弹性。 然而，尽管这场全球范围的大规模投资有望显著扩展半导体的产能版图，实现其预期效益的道路却 并不平坦。除了已公布的建设项目本身执行难度大之外，至少还有五大结构性障碍，特别在北美和 欧洲市场可能长期制约新增投资带来的实质进展：包括资本与运营成本结构、材料需求增长、关键 原材料及封装环节的离岸集中、物流与处理瓶颈，以及人才短缺等问题。若行业希望实现投资的长 期价值，就必须正视并逐一应对这些挑战。 ...

Core Viewpoint - TSMC's expansion in the U.S. represents a significant step towards advanced semiconductor manufacturing in America, testing the effectiveness of the CHIPS and Science Act in stabilizing the semiconductor supply chain [1]. Group 1: TSMC's U.S. Investment - TSMC announced a historic plan in May 2020 to invest $12 billion in a semiconductor manufacturing plant in Phoenix, Arizona, which was later increased to $40 billion for a second facility [3]. - By March 2025, TSMC plans to add an additional $100 billion investment, bringing the total investment in the U.S. to $165 billion, making it the largest foreign direct investment project in U.S. history [3][4]. - The first fab is set to start mass production using N4 technology in Q4 2024, with subsequent fabs adopting N3 and 2nm technologies, respectively [4]. Group 2: Key Clients and Supply Chain Restructuring - Major U.S. chip design companies like Apple, AMD, and NVIDIA are transitioning their production to TSMC's U.S. facility, indicating a shift towards local manufacturing [7]. - Apple is expected to begin commercial production of chips from TSMC's U.S. plant in 2025, with plans to invest over $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years [7][8]. - AMD and NVIDIA have also announced plans to produce their chips at TSMC's Arizona facility, marking a significant move towards domestic manufacturing [8][9]. Group 3: Intel's Role in Local Manufacturing - Intel is focusing on its foundry services to meet the growing demand for chips, emphasizing the need for a reliable supply chain [10][12]. - The company aims to establish deep partnerships with key clients to enhance its foundry capabilities and compete with TSMC [12]. - Reports suggest a potential joint venture between Intel and TSMC to manage U.S. wafer fabrication assets, which could enhance collaboration in domestic manufacturing [13]. Group 4: Challenges in Replicating TSMC's Model - The U.S. faces significant challenges in replicating TSMC's efficient manufacturing model, including high costs and a lack of a complete semiconductor ecosystem [15][16]. - Initial construction costs for TSMC's Arizona plant are high, but operational costs are expected to converge with those in Taiwan once production stabilizes [16]. - The U.S. semiconductor infrastructure is currently weak in critical areas, leading to reliance on Asian suppliers for essential equipment and materials [19]. Group 5: Cultural and Operational Differences - There are significant cultural differences in engineering practices between Taiwan and the U.S., which may affect operational efficiency in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing [20][21]. - The U.S. emphasis on work-life balance and employee rights may conflict with the high-intensity work culture prevalent in Taiwan's semiconductor industry [21]. Conclusion - The U.S. semiconductor strategy is evolving, driven by geopolitical considerations rather than purely economic factors, and while it may enhance competitiveness in specific areas, it is unlikely to disrupt TSMC's dominance in the near term [22].
