南韓考慮分散半導體產業群,Nearfield Instruments警告需完整支援體系

Quick Look

南韓計劃將下一代半導體產業群分散至湖南等多個區域,但荷蘭設備製造商Nearfield Instruments警告,僅獲得土地不足以確保良率,需建立完整的在地支援生態系統,包括物流、技術人才與數位連接,否則先進製程良率將面臨風險。

Why It Matters

南韓為提升半導體產業競爭力,考慮將下一代產業群分散至包括湖南地區在內的多個區域。Nearfield Instruments為荷蘭設備製造商,專注於3D原子力顯微鏡技術,應用於GAA等先進製程與HBM等3D封裝,並在韓國華城設有法人,與三星電子合作。

〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕為提升半導體產業競爭力,南韓考慮將下一代產業群分散到包括湖南地區在內的多個區域。但被業界稱為「第二個ASML」的Nearfield Instruments卻警告,晶圓廠僅僅獲得土地是不夠的,能不能搬的問題不只在土地、水電是否到位,如果南韓新晶片製造基地沒有一個涵蓋設備交付到良率管理等各個環節的完善支持體系,在缺乏完整的在地基礎設施與支援生態,先進製程最關鍵的良率恐面臨良率風險。

Nearfield Instruments共同創辦人暨執行長Sadeghian表示,隨著晶圓廠與既有大型聚落之間的地理距離拉大、布局變得更分散,設備供應商與晶片製造商之間要維持緊密技術支援、快速反應與高效率合作,將成為重要挑戰。

請繼續往下閱讀...

據悉,Nearfield總部位於荷蘭,專門開發以3D原子力顯微鏡(AFM)為基礎的非破壞性量測設備,應用於GAA等超微細製程,以及HBM等3D先進封裝。其QUADRA解決方案能進行超高精度垂直量測,補足傳統光學與電子束工具的不足,公司成長速度之快,甚至被業界稱為「第二個ASML」。

他強調,對全球設備商而言,新半導體聚落若要獲得順暢支援,關鍵條件包括健全的物流網路、在地技術人才與完善的數位連接能力,其原因在於,隨著先進製程日益複雜,設備商提供的即時支援對良率管理愈來愈重要。

目前Nearfield在南韓京畿道華城設立法人,當地集中了韓國最先進的半導體製程,公司並與三星電子等企業合作供應量測設備。包括細微側壁輪廓、混合鍵合表面等高價值製程,要維持良率,都需要設備商高階工程師支援與即時製程控制。

Sadeghian表示,韓國半導體生態系在HBM等高度堆疊、結構複雜的產品上,具有優化良率的優勢,而Nearfield位於華城的韓國據點,讓公司能直接參與這套先進製造生態並提供密切技術支援。這也意味著,如果客戶晶圓廠未來遠離既有基地,新地區同樣需要重新建立相近程度的支援網路。

據悉,Nearfield與南韓先進半導體產業具有深度連結,三星也被報導曾以集團層級投資Nearfield。Sadeghian表示,南韓在先進記憶體、AI晶片與3D整合技術上的領先地位,是Nearfield極為重要的市場。隨著AI基礎設施持續擴張,將繼續與南韓半導體價值鏈合作,以支援愈來愈複雜的晶片架構。

China's commodity price index rose 4.1% month-on-month in September, hitting a four-and-a-half-year high

Data from the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing show that China’s bulk commodity price index in September was 137.6 points, up 4.1% month-on-month and 22.9% year-on-year, hitting a four-and-a-half-year high. The energy and chemical price indexes were among the top increasers, rising 14.8% and 13.7% month-on-month respectively. Methanol, ethylene glycol and coke saw the largest increases. Industry experts point out that price increases are driven by factors such as improved demand during the traditional peak production season, price disturbances in the international market and tight supply, and external imported risks are still high.

Huatong benefited from the upgrade of the space board, and the lights hit the daily limit today

SpaceX successfully performed its 14th Starship flight test on September 28, entering Earth orbit for the first time and deploying 26 Starlink V3 satellites. As the largest supplier of SpaceX, Huatong benefited from the upgrade of space boards and the increase in the usage and value of single satellite PCBs. The stock price hit the daily limit of 248.5 yuan less than an hour after the opening of today. The number of orders to buy exceeded 16,000, and the trading volume exceeded 48,500. The company said that satellite customer demand was positive. Shipments in the first half of the year were limited by the supply of raw materials, but the supply gradually improved. The second half of the year will see continued launches of starships and stable deployment of V3 satellites, which is expected to boost revenue and profits.

Taiwan completes first biomass fuel bunkering for maritime vessels, promoting shipping energy transformation

Taiwan has completed the country's first domestic biomass fuel refueling operation for maritime vessels at the Port of Kaohsiung. The refueling operation was carried out by Yang Ming Marine's marine vessels, marking the implementation of shipping energy transformation from policy planning to port operations. The port management company cooperated with China National Petroleum Corporation to launch B24 biofuel, which can reduce carbon emissions by at least 20% and has obtained international sustainability certification. Many shipping companies have successively used it, with a refueling volume of 1,200 metric tons.

TSMC leads Taiwan stocks to new highs, New Taiwan dollar rises above 31.8 yuan

TSMC drove Taiwan stocks to new highs, and the return of hot money pushed the New Taiwan dollar against the U.S. dollar above the 31.8 yuan mark, reaching a maximum of 31.75 yuan in early trading. Affected by the weaker-than-expected U.S. non-farm payrolls data, the market expected the Fed to The probability of interest rate hikes in October has dropped to less than 20%. The US dollar has fallen back, but its decline is limited by international oil prices and US bond yields. The New Taiwan dollar opened at 31.81 yuan this morning and has continued to strengthen. The strength of foreign capital inflows will determine the subsequent trend.
