TSMC will invest $100 billion in three years to increase production capacity

腾讯科技讯4月1日消息，据媒体报道，半导体市场需求旺盛，晶圆代工台积电计划在未来三年投资1000亿美元增加产能，以支持客户需求。

Tencent technology news on April 1, according to media reports, semiconductor market demand is strong, and TSMC, the wafer foundry, plans to invest $100 billion to increase production capacity in the next three years to support customer demand.

近日，业界流传台积电总裁魏哲佳致客户的一封信，解释半导体供应短缺以及台积电的应对策略和行动。

Recently, the industry circulated a letter written by Wei Zhejia, President of TSMC, to customers, explaining the semiconductor supply shortage and TSMC's coping strategies and actions.

魏哲佳在信中指出，台积电虽然在过去12个月增加了产能，产能利用率超过100%，但仍不能满足需求。因此，该公司计划投资1000亿美元，在未来三年内提高产能。

Wei Zhe Jia pointed out in the letter that although TSMC increased its production capacity in the past 12 months, and the utilization rate of production capacity exceeded 100%, it still could not meet the demand. Therefore, it plans to invest $100 billion to increase its production capacity in the next three years.

台积电将新建晶圆厂，并扩充现有的先进及特殊技术。魏哲佳在信中提到，台积电正在招募数千名新人，购买土地和设备。

TSMC will build a new wafer plant and expand its existing advanced and special technologies. Wei Zhe Jia mentioned in his letter that TSMC is recruiting thousands of new blood and purchasing land and equipment.

魏哲佳还指出，台积电致力于成为全球可靠的技术和产能提供商。为应对先进工艺技术和材料成本日益复杂的局面，台积电将从2021年12月31日起暂停晶圆降价四个季度。

Wei Zhe Jia also pointed out that TSMC is committed to becoming a reliable technology and production capacity provider in the world. In response to the increasing complexity of advanced process technology and material costs, TSMC will suspend the price reduction of wafers for four quarters from December 31, 2021.

台积电没有就这封信或价格置评。台积电表示，公司正进入高速增长期，预计未来几年，5g和高效计算（HPC）的产业趋势将推动台积电半导体技术的强劲需求。此外，考伊德-19的流行也加速了各个方面的数字化进程。

TSMC did not comment on the letter or on the price. TSMC said that it is entering a period of higher growth rate, and it is expected that the industry trend of 5g and high efficiency computing (HPC) will drive strong demand for TSMC semiconductor technology in the next few years. In addition, the pandemic of cowid-19 has accelerated the digitization of all aspects.

台积电指出，为满足市场需求，预计未来三年将投资1000亿元增加产能，以支持领先技术的制造和研发。

TSMC pointed out that in order to meet market demand, it is expected to invest $100 billion to increase production capacity in the next three years to support the manufacturing and R & D of leading technologies.
