台积电大举扩产，迎接AI芯片需求激增
为满足客户对人工智能（AI）芯片不断增长的需求，全球最大的芯片代工厂台积电宣布启动大规模扩产计划。预计从4月开始，台积电将展开装机和在建10座2nm晶圆厂和先进封装厂。
业内消息人士透露，在2nm制程之后，台积电还将推进到1.4nm和1nm的先进制程。据悉，1nm世代的芯片制造在台湾地区需要8-10座晶圆厂。
台积电的扩产计划反映了AI领域对先进芯片的迫切需求。随着AI技术在各个行业的广泛应用，从自动驾驶到医疗保健，对高性能、低功耗芯片的需求也在不断增长。
台积电董事长刘德音表示：“AI是未来十年最重要的技术趋势之一。我们正在投资建设最先进的制造能力，以满足客户对AI芯片不断增长的需求。”
台积电的大扩产计划将创造大量的就业机会，并带动台湾半导体产业链的发展。业内专家认为，台积电的扩产将进一步巩固其在全球芯片代工市场的领先地位。
除了台积电之外，其他芯片制造商也正在扩产以满足AI芯片的需求。三星电子和英特尔等公司也宣布了大规模投资计划，以增加其先进制程芯片的产能。
随着AI技术的发展和应用，对先进芯片的需求预计将继续增长。台积电的扩产计划表明，芯片行业正在为迎接AI时代的到来做好准备。

**News Content:**
TSMC, the world’s largest chip foundry, isembarking on a massive expansion plan to meet surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips. Starting in April, TSMC is set to install and construct 10 new 2nm wafer fabrication plants and advanced packaging facilities.
Industry sources indicate that TSMC will further advance to 1.4nm and 1nm process technologies after the 2nm node. It is estimated that the 1nm chip manufacturing generation will require 8-10 fabs in Taiwan.
TSMC’s expansion plans reflect the urgent need for advanced chips in the AI sector. With AI technologies finding widespread applications across industries, from autonomous driving to healthcare, the demand for high-performance, low-power chips continues to grow.
“AI is one of the most important technology trends in the next decade,” said TSMC Chairman Mark Liu. “We are investing to build the most advanced manufacturing capabilities to meet our customers’ growing demand for AI chips.”
TSMC’s major expansion will create significant employment opportunities and drive the development of Taiwan’s semiconductor supply chain. Industry experts believe that TSMC’s expansion will further solidify its leading position in the global chip foundry market.
Beyond TSMC, other chipmakers are also expanding their capacity to meet AI chip demand. Companies such as Samsung Electronics and Intel have announced major investment plans to increase their production of advanced process technology chips.
As AI technologies evolve and find new applications, the demand for advanced chips is expected to continue to grow. TSMC’s expansion plans signal that the chip industry is preparing for the advent of the AI era.
