中文(ZH) CoWoS封装产能告急，台积电进一步扩大外包产能

TSMC expands AI chip packaging capacity amid surging demand · 1 source tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

TSMC is facing a shortage in CoWoS packaging capacity due to high demand for AI chips, particularly from NVIDIA. To address this, TSMC plans to outsource more CoWoS production to other manufacturers like ASE Technology Holding. This move highlights the intense demand for advanced packaging solutions necessary for high-performance AI processors and High Bandwidth Memory. AI

IMPACT This shortage in advanced packaging directly impacts the supply and cost of high-performance AI chips, potentially slowing down AI development and deployment.

RANK_REASON Significant industry move related to AI infrastructure and supply chain constraints. [lever_c_demoted from significant: ic=1 ai=0.7]
