韓廠壓力大!韓媒:台積電跨足記憶體恐全碗端走AI晶片供應業務

台積電應輝達要求評估3D DRAM技術,恐對三星與SK海力士構成競爭挑戰

Quick Look

據《The Information》報導,台積電正應輝達要求評估3D DRAM製造計畫。若成功,台積電將能整合GPU、記憶體與封裝供應鏈,此舉可能對韓國記憶體大廠三星電子與SK海力士構成長期競爭壓力。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

台積電目前專注於晶圓代工,而韓國三星與SK海力士則在DRAM與HBM記憶體領域佔據主導地位。

美國科技媒體《The Information》披露,台積電應輝達要求,考慮跨足先進記憶體領域。對此,韓國《首爾經濟日報》7日指出,如果台積電成功生產記憶體,這意謂一家公司就可以包辦從GPU、記憶體製造到封裝等所有業務,進而使台積電控制整條供應鏈,而無須依賴外部記憶體供應商,對三星電子與SK海力士將構成嚴峻挑戰。

《The Information》報導,台積電近期開始評估製造3D DRAM計畫,其可能的選項包括興建一座記憶體廠,或收購現有設施,並加以改造成製造廠。台積電目前尚未對是否投資、投資金額以及何時投產做出決定。

台積電正進行評估的3D DRAM技術是將記憶體單元垂直堆疊,以提高儲存密度,此結構與三星電子及SK海力士專精的高頻寬記憶體(HBM)技術有別,後者是堆疊DRAM晶片,以提高資料傳輸速度。

《首爾經濟日報》指出,自主生產記憶體將進一步強化台積電在AI晶片供應鏈的影響力。輝達的GPU目前由台積電生產,而其搭載的HBM則由SK海力士、三星等其他公司供應。如果台積電成功生產記憶體,一家公司可能包辦從GPU製造到記憶體與先進封裝業務,這將使其得以控制從GPU製造到記憶體到先進封裝整個供應鏈。

報導說,該發展中長期來看,可能使韓國記憶體廠面臨競爭挑戰。晶片產業長期以來涇渭分明:台灣主導代工服務,韓國主導記憶體。台積電在代工領域已建立壓倒性的競爭力,但尚未直接跨足記憶體生產。相較之下,三星與SK海力士在DRAM與HBM上已累積豐富的技術與量產經驗。

如果台積電進軍記憶體領域,現有客戶就可以從單一供應商取得記憶體與代工服務,恐衝擊韓企的議價能力。台積電將其客戶從代工與先進封裝擴大到記憶體,將是韓廠面臨的另一風險。

不過,韓廠地位短期內不太可能被撼動,因為垂直堆疊記憶體單元尚有一些技術障礙待解決,可能需要幾年的時間才能實現穩定的良率與量產系統。而三星電子、SK海力士以及美商美光也正研發該技術,使台積電難以快速縮小技術差距。

Open Questions

  • 台積電是否會正式啟動3D DRAM投資計畫?
  • 技術障礙何時能克服?

After Honduras established diplomatic relations with China, white shrimp exports to China were far lower than expected, accounting for only 2.94% of total exports in the first nine months of this year. In addition, the purchase price in the Chinese market is about US$2.96 per pound, which is lower than the US$3.04 in Mexico, causing industry players to be disappointed with the Chinese market.
