TECH CORRIDOR:
The new Phase II web site is anticipated to work with different amenities in the area and nation as TSMC seems to form the longer term with its manufacturing
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) would build three further superior packaging amenities in Phase II of the Chiayi Science Park (嘉義科學園區), National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Minister Wu Cheng-wen (吳誠文) stated yesterday.
Speaking on the groundbreaking ceremony for the Phase II, Wu stated the roughly 90-hectare web site could be developed into a complicated packaging business cluster led by TSMC.

Wu stated that the Phase II improvement of the Chiayi Science Park would strengthen the resilience of the regional financial system and assist remodel Chiayi County into a world manufacturing hub for superior semiconductor packaging.
In the longer term, biotechnology, aerospace and precision equipment firms would additionally progressively transfer in and build factories.
Once each phases are operational, firms with amenities on the Chiayi Science Park are anticipated to generate greater than NT$300 billion (US$9.35 billion) in annual output and create 9,000 jobs, he stated.
According to Wu, the Phase II growth is geared toward assembly rising international demand for high-performance computing chips and superior packaging applied sciences.
He stated the Chiayi Science Park would join with different Southern Taiwan Science Park (南部科學園區) branches in Tainan, Kaohsiung and Pingtung County in addition to the Central Taiwan Science Park (中部科學園區) and Hsinchu Science Park (新竹科學園區) to type the world’s most complete synthetic intelligence (AI) and semiconductor business hall.
The groundbreaking ceremony was presided over by Wu and attended by Chiayi County Commissioner Weng Chang-liang (翁章梁), Democratic Progressive Party Legislators Tsai Yi-yu (蔡易餘), Chen Kuan-ting (陳冠廷) and Wang Mei-hui (王美惠), in addition to TSMC vp for facility development Arthur Chuang (莊子壽), varied public works builders, development firms and native representatives.
Separately, TSMC is scheduled to report its second-quarter income at present and launch its bottom-line figures for the quarter at an earnings convention on Thursday.
While Android handset gross sales slowed in the second quarter, sustained iOS pull-in orders and AI chip product transition nonetheless supported sturdy semiconductor demand in the quarter, which is anticipated to elevate TSMC’s second-quarter income barely above the upper-end of its steerage vary of between US$39 billion and US$40.2 billion, Yuanta Securities Investment Consulting Co (元大投顧) stated in a observe on Tuesday final week.
In New Taiwan greenback phrases, TSMC’s second-quarter income is forecast to attain NT$1.276 trillion, up 12.5 % quarter-on-quarter and rising 36.7 % year-on-year, Yuanta stated.
Gross margin is projected to attain 67.5 %, the upper-end of TSMC’s steerage vary of between 65.5 and 67.5 %, with earnings per share estimated at NT$24.1, it stated.
