The International Semiconductor Industry Association (SEMI) estimates that global silicon wafer shipments will decrease by 2% this year to 12.174 billion square inches. As demand recovers next year, shipments are expected to rebound by about 10% to 13.328 billion square inches. inches.

At the Taiwan Circuit Board Exhibition, Yaohua Chairman Zhang Yuanming said today that the Thai factory is expected to be mass-produced by the end of 2025. Major PCB factories are investing in Thailand. In addition to front-line employees, they also need a large number of engineers. After the production capacity is opened in the future, The challenge of insufficient manpower requires training of engineers.

Creating Nano technology, one of the leading manufacturers in the field of plasma equipment, is actively deploying advanced packaging and carrier board technology, and continues to promote innovation in chip connection technology. As packaging technology moves from 2.5D to 3D, chip stacking connection has become a global semiconductor The core technology of industrial competition, among which "Hybrid Bonding" is regarded as the key to future chip packaging. With its excellent plasma process and equipment development capabilities, Creating Nano technology has seized on this technology trend and provided services to the industry. Provide leading solutions.

The Taiwan International Circuit Board Exhibition TPCA Show officially opened today (23rd) (see picture). TPCA Chairman Li Changming said that this year is the 25th anniversary of the TPCA Show. This year, there are a total of 1,600 booths on display, bringing together nearly 40,000 international visitors. Professional buyers believe that under the trend of AI technology, the PCB industry will usher in broad development opportunities. In 2023, global PCB will be affected by high inflation, leading to a comprehensive decline. Taiwan’s output value will still lead the world with NT$769.8 billion, IC carrier board/server/satellite/ The proportion of automotive products is also increasing, showing that Taiwan's PCB industry is developing towards high value.

Christophe Fouquet, president and CEO of Dutch semiconductor equipment leader ASML, believes that the increase in chip production capacity in Western countries is unlikely to change the balance of power in the semiconductor industry.

Chip manufacturers continue to launch expansion plans to meet the growing demand for artificial intelligence components. Bloomberg reported that compiled data show that the scale of overseas financing plans of Taiwanese companies this year reached the highest level in the past 20 years, with the amount raised reaching US$2.9 billion (approximately New Zealand dollars). NT$93.3 billion), a new high since 2007.
