TSMC Shares Soar 4.12% as Innovations and Global Expansion Drive Market Optimism
1min read Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has recently been at the center of several significant developments. On September 24, its stock rose by 4.12%, marking its second consecutive day of gains and achieving a high not seen since July 2024. This reflects market optimism amidst TSMC's advancements and strategic moves.
In terms of innovation, TSMC's advanced packaging plant in Miaoli, Zhunan, is gaining attention. It is poised to focus on next-generation packaging technologies, including SoICs and WoW, potentially partnering with Huawei's HiSilicon. Although there has been no official comment from TSMC, the move could significantly bolster its capacity and technological prowess.
TSMC has consistently pushed the envelope in semiconductor packaging, rapidly advancing in the field. Its CoWoS monthly capacity has reportedly increased significantly, establishing TSMC as a forerunner compared to other outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) companies.
Furthermore, TSMC continues to progress in the development of cutting-edge fabrication processes. Reports indicate that its 2nm process began risk production ahead of schedule and is expected to scale up by 2025, setting the stage for future innovations like the 1.4nm process.
Internationally, TSMC's expansion extends beyond Taiwan. In Arizona, their newly constructed wafer fab is set to begin large-scale production sooner than planned. This follows the recent commencement of small-scale production for Apple's A16 chip, demonstrating TSMC's ability to accelerate project timelines successfully.
As global demand for semiconductors grows, driven by advances in artificial intelligence, TSMC’s strategic developments and technological advances reinforce its dominant position in the semiconductor industry.
