随着各地区继续建立自给自足能力并与友好国家建立枢纽,各公司向世界各地的晶圆厂和设施投入了数十亿美元。芯片行业2024年进行了大量资本投资,以建造新的晶圆厂和设施或扩建现有场所。许多工厂专门用于 SiC、GaN、DRAM、HBM,以及 OSAT 的封装和组装,以及关键气体、化学品和其他组件。此外,还建立了十几个 8 英寸晶圆、EUV 和先进封装的研发中心。这些投资来自公司和政府,许多 CHIPS 的奖项现已最终确定。

国际半导体产业协会(SEMI)指出,预计半导体行业将在2025年启动18个新的晶圆厂建设项目,其中包括三个200毫米晶圆厂和十五个300毫米晶圆厂,大多数预计将在2026年至2027年开始运营

2024年,合资企业(JV)作为一种降低大额投资风险的方式表现出强劲势头。例如:

  • 阿波罗(Apollo)投资了110亿美元,获得了与英特尔(Intel)爱尔兰Fab 34工厂相关的合资企业49%的股权。
  • 先锋国际半导体(Vanguard International Semiconductor,VIS)和恩智浦(NXP)在新加坡共同成立了合资企业——VisionPower Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (VSMC) ,用于一座 300 毫米晶圆厂,并于最近破土动工
  • CG Power、瑞萨电子(Renesas)和星辰微电子(Stars Microelectronics)联手在印度古吉拉特邦创建了外包半导体组装和测试(OSAT)企业。
  • 富士康(Foxconn)和HCL在印度北方邦合作建立了OSAT企业。
  • Tower和阿达尼(Adani)成立了合资企业,以在印度Panvel建设晶圆厂。
  • 塔塔电子(Tata Electronics)和力晶半导体制造股份有限公司(Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation,PSMC)合作(尽管未提及合资企业形式),以在印度古吉拉特邦建设印度首座AI赋能的晶圆厂。
  • 在泰国投资委员会的支持下,Hana Microelectronics和PTT成立了合资企业,以在泰国建设首座碳化硅(SiC)芯片工厂,该项目得到了泰国投资委员会的支持。
  • 日本先进半导体制造(Japan Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing,JASM)合资企业宣布了建设第二座晶圆厂的计划。台积电(TSMC)是多数股权持有者,索尼(Sony)、电装(DENSO)和丰田(Toyota)为部分股权持有者。
  • 欧洲半导体制造公司(European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company,ESMC)合资企业于2023年成立,最近获得了政府追加的50亿欧元资金。台积电是多数股权持有者,博世(Bosch)、英飞凌(Infineon)和恩智浦为部分股权持有者。
  • Denso、Kioxia、MUFG Bank、NEC、NTT、SoftBank、Sony 和 Toyota 的 Rapidus联盟(非合资企业)获得了日本政府更多的资金支持(已批准39亿美元,提议追加13亿美元)。

理解供应链

今年,国家安全仍然是热门话题,许多项目涉及行业投资与政府资助相结合的模式。


以Amkor为例,根据《芯片法案》(CHIPS Act),该公司将获得4亿美元的资金支持,用于其在亚利桑那州皮奥里亚(Peoria)投资20亿美元建设的多阶段先进半导体封装和测试园区项目,此前该公司已在越南和葡萄牙与格芯(GlobalFoundries)开展了合作。


Amkor科技高级副总裁David McCann表示:“在《芯片法案》出台之前,我们就在与政府进行调查和合作,但在美国,建设成本、劳动力成本以及持续的劳动力成本太高,如果没有《芯片法案》的资金支持,我们就无法为股东带来回报。这是一项推动因素。如果没有这笔资金,我们可能就不会继续推进这个项目。”


McCann说,几年前,该公司与政府官员就供应链问题进行了讨论,从晶圆厂到组装和测试,再到包装盒制造商或电子制造服务公司(EMS),这些公司将封装件放在电路板上,并为最终客户生产最终产品。


决定工厂采用何种技术也花费了一些时间。


“我们将专注于先进封装,但一开始并不是这样,”他说,“当我们审视财务状况,并希望能够有一个多年可行的财务结构时,真正需要的是先进封装,而且先进封装的类型将需要随着时间的推移而改变。如果你看看封装行业,每隔几年,下一代硅就需要新一代封装。”


申请CHIPS资金流程的第一步是预申请(Pre-App)。McCann说:“在预申请之后,我们提交了初步条款备忘录(PMT),并最终提交了直接资助授权书(DFA)。‘这些文件定义了封装类型、高级场地设计和建设目标,以及投产计划。’”

他还表示,其中还包括一个财务模型。“我们必须向政府展示总成本、总就业人数、我们的市场以及潜在客户。我们必须展示我们期望这个财务模型在很长一段时间内呈现出的样子。我们需要证明30年项目的可行性。CHIPS办公室很好地管理着纳税人的钱。他们聘请了从理解先进封装角度而言很优秀的人才。我们不是第一个获得资助的,这让我们受益匪浅,而且他们从台积电(TSMC)和其他公司那里接受的教育也让我们受益匪浅。他们来到谈判桌前时,就已经知道他们需要一家组装测试公司,并且了解我们的行业,这对我们帮助很大。”


台积电亚利桑那州工厂也在公司巨额投资(500亿美元)的基础上获得了《芯片法案》69亿美元的资金支持。随后,Amkor与台积电借此势头建立了独特的合作伙伴关系,其中台积电的前端晶圆厂将从安靠获得交钥匙式先进封装和测试服务,旨在加速整体产品周期时间。双方将共同确定具体的封装技术,如台积电的集成扇出(InFO)和晶圆上芯片-衬底上(CoWoS)技术。


“我们认为这对我们共同的终端客户很重要,”McCann说,“在这个供应链中,我们的客户将与台积电就晶圆厂进行合作,然后台积电可能会与我们合作进行组装和测试,并将这些封装部件提供回给他们进行销售。或者,我们的共同终端客户也可以来找我们。因此,人工智能客户、高性能计算客户和移动客户将能够在台湾购买到CoWoS或InFO封装,以及从安靠在美国购买的类似封装,以降低其供应链的风险。他们可以对其中一个进行认证,第二个认证则非常简单。我们和台积电需要确保我们在执行相似性方面做得很好。这让我们获得了原本没有的业务。”


McCann表示,尽管今年宣布了许多行业和政府的投资,但供应链的完全回流在财务上并不可行。


“即使有无限的资金,尝试这样做的规模也是不可能的,”他说,“依靠友好国家是可行的。在安靠,我们已经审查了我们的供应商,思考了哪些是从问题国家采购的,并确保我们没有从这样的供应商那里采购任何单一来源的设备、材料或化学品。这对我们很重要。对于供应链的安全来说,这对政府也很重要。他们当然不希望支持在这个国家的投资,而我们却受到禁运商品的影响。依靠欧洲或韩国的商品应该是绝对没问题的,我们将不得不这样做。供应链的其他部分将会有一些转移到美国,但速度会很慢。”


Amkor在全球拥有约500家主要的化学品、设备、材料等供应商,该公司已开始鼓励其顶级供应商落户美国。


“我们正在通过亚利桑那州商务局和大凤凰城经济委员会(GPEC)来推动这件事,”McCann说,“我们与他们接触,支持他们的访问代表团,并共享资源,试图鼓励他们搬迁。亚利桑那州商务局和大凤凰城经济委员会希望看到这里有更多的工作机会、更多的建筑、更多的公司。我们认为没有必要让所有供应商都离我们很近,但这将是一个好处。因此,我们正在集中精力与少数顶级供应商接触,并与亚利桑那州商务局和大凤凰城经济委员会合作,帮助我们降低外国公司搬迁到这里的障碍,帮助他们了解如何办理许可、购买土地等这些事情。这对于一家美国公司来说已经足够困难了。想象一下,如果不能说当地语言或从未与这里的实体合作过,将面临怎样的挑战。”


芯片行业动态:停产、延期与更新
然而,今年芯片行业并非全是好消息。英特尔遭遇了广受关注的挫折,包括其德国工厂可能延期两年、美国裁员以及首席执行官突然退休。

同样在德国,Wolfspeed最终取消了与ZF支持的在该国建厂的计划。这些芯片主要面向电动汽车,而电动汽车的需求已有所放缓。在Wolfspeed取消计划之前,有报道称ZF计划退出该项目。

虽然亚利桑那州吸引了如台积电和Amkor等公司通过《芯片法案》获得投资,但Microchip却宣布将关闭其坦佩晶圆厂。该晶圆厂的生产将转移到俄勒冈州和科罗拉多州的工厂,旨在节省9000万美元。该公司还将暂停其《芯片法案》的申请。

据报道,三星推迟了在其德克萨斯州工厂引入ASML制造设备的计划,并将运营开始日期推迟至2026年。

在日本,台湾的PSMC原本计划与SBI控股合作建厂,但最终放弃了该计划,转而与塔塔合作建设印度第一家晶圆厂。据称,SBI正在寻找新的合作伙伴。

超大规模企业
与半导体行业紧密相关且对芯片需求迫切的是超大规模企业,它们在全球范围内向云计算、人工智能和其他数据中心投入了大量资金。这些投资旨在加强基础设施、扩大劳动力,有时还包括网络安全。

虽然以下表格中未列出这些投资,但以下是部分亮点:

  • Microsoft 将在德国投资32亿欧元;在印度尼西亚投资17亿美元;在日本投资29亿美元;在法国投资40亿欧元;在马来西亚投资22亿美元;在威斯康星州投资33亿美元;在瑞典投资约32亿美元。

  • Amazon Web Services 将在英国投资80亿英镑(约106亿美元);在印第安纳州投资110亿美元;在德国投资78亿欧元用于欧洲主权云;此外,亚马逊还将在德国投资另外100亿欧元用于云计算、物流和研发。

  • 谷歌将在巴黎设立一个人工智能中心,容纳约300名研究人员和工程师;在泰国投资10亿美元用于数据中心;在拉丁美洲投资8.5亿美元;在北卡罗来纳州投资33亿美元;在内布拉斯加州投资9亿美元,等等。
