(Reuters) - An Arizona economic development group on Tuesday said it had made a deal with Taiwanese economic development officials aimed at making the U.S. state more attractive to Taiwan's semiconductor industry as the world's biggest chipmaker eyes a $12 billion plant in Phoenix.
The Taiwan-USA Industrial Cooperation Promotion Office, which is supported by Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs, signed an agreement with economic development officials in the greater Phoenix area to find ways to bring more of Taiwan's vast semiconductor industry to the metro area.
The move comes as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, the world's largest chip company and a maker of semiconductors for Apple Inc and many others, has said it wants to build a plant in Phoenix.
The Phoenix city council gave city officials the go-ahead https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tsmc-arizona-idUKKBN27Y30E to negotiate with the chipmaker in November, but the details of the deal - including any potential tax breaks - have not been released. Reuters reported in May https://www.reuters.com/article/...mc-arizona-exclusive-idCAKBN2CV0JC the TSMC might build as many as six plants in the area, some of which could use its most advanced technology.
The Phoenix area is already home to a major Intel Corp chip factory, and NXP Semiconductors and ON Semiconductor Corp also have factories and offices there.
Chris Camacho, chief executive of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council that signed the agreement Tuesday, said his group is working to co-locate as many TSMC suppliers and other associated companies to the area as possible. He said about 40 companies are currently evaluating Arizona for possible investment, but declined to name them due to confidentiality agreements.
Camacho said his group is working with schools and local governments in the region to try to ease the relocation process for Taiwanese families who move to the area.
"We're unapologetically pursuing becoming the top global destination for semiconductors and the semiconductor supply chain," he said in an interview.

"The stock got a boost soon after the market opened from the reports, which said earlier Wednesday that TSMC will raise prices across the board.
The Chinese language Commercial Times said TSMC's product price hike is expected to start from the first quarter of next year.
It said prices for chips made using mature processes are expected to go up 15-20 percent and those for chips made from advanced processes are likely to rise by 10 percent."

Taiwan’s TSMC asking suppliers to reduce prices by 15%
Taiwan Semiconductor in talks with equipment, material suppliers on cutting prices
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) is asking its suppliers to cut prices next year in order to boost profitability.
According to DigiTimes, TSMC is in discussions with its equipment and material suppliers on having them reduce their prices by 15% for 2022 in a bid to cut costs. The move could also help domestic suppliers, according to CNA.
Domestic suppliers have always offered lower prices than foreign companies, while at the same time TSMC, has been committed to increasing its proportion of locally procured materials and equipment. TSMC’s move to lower prices could create more opportunities for Taiwanese suppliers, CNA said.
Last year, TSMC purchased 60% of its materials and 44.8% of its equipment from domestic companies, said CNA, citing TSMC data. The world’s largest contract chipmaker plans to increase local material purchases this year to 60.5%, while domestic equipment acquisitions are expected to rise to 50%.
The latest move to lower supply prices comes on the heels of TSMC's announcement last week of a price increase for chips. Prices for its more advanced processes, such as its 7nm and 5nm chips, are expected to increase by around 7% to 9%, while prices for its more mature processes will be raised by about 20%.
SMIC will have at least a 51% stake in the JV, and the government will own 25%.......

Laut TrendForce wird der Umsatz der Top-10-Gießereien im 1. Quartal 21 angesichts voll ausgelasteter Kapazitäten um 20 % gegenüber dem Vorjahr steigen

Aus Zuliefererkreisen gibt es weitere Informationen zum Preisanstieg. Demnach sind Preiserhöhungen im Bereich von 15 bis 20 % nicht in allen Fertigungstechnologien zu erwarten. Ein Bericht aus Taiwan spricht davon, dass Kunden wie Apple und AMD nur ein Preisplus von 3 bzw. 5 % zu zahlen haben. Deutlich teurer wird es im Verhältnis für allem für Kunden, die in 16 nm und größer ihre Chips bestellen.
Für Kunden, die bei TSMC schon in relativ aktuelle Fertigungstechnologien bestellen, fällt das Preisplus etwas niedriger aus. Dafür zahlen diese aber auch schon auf einem hohen Preisniveau. So soll Apple für seine A-Series-Chips in 5 nm in etwa doppelt so viel zahlen, wie dies in 7 nm der Fall gewesen wäre.
Es gibt hier also gewisse Abhängigkeiten innerhalb des Preisgefüges."

Die Chippreise werden bis 2022 steigen, da TSMC die Preis anhebt

It was a great winner, but it sold off and now it's trading around 13% off its highs. Worth sees a lot of authority around the $125 price level and with good relative strength day-to-day and week-over-week, he would play for a breakout.

Wie nun bekannt wurde (Meldung bei TheElec), planen Samsung und Key Foundry ebenfalls ihre Preise zu erhöhen. Vierter großer Auftragsfertiger ist UMC, der seine Preise teilweise schon in der ersten Jahreshälfte deutlich angehoben hatte.
Bei Samsung sollen die Preise für belichtete Wafer um 15 bis 20 % steigen. Die Spanne von 5 bis 20 % bei TSMC bezieht sich offenbar auf alle Fertigungsgrößen und von diesen haben sowohl TSMC als auch Samsung einige im Angebot.Bei Samsung sollen die ersten Kunden die höheren Kosten bereits akzeptiert und die entsprechenden Verträge unterschrieben haben. Begründet sind die höheren Kosten mit gestiegenen Preisen bei den Materialien, der hohen Nachfrage und den Investitionen in den Ausbau immer größerer Kapazitäten durch die Auftragsfertiger..... Die Nachfrage ist noch immer hoch, gebuchte Kapazitäten können die Nachfrage meist noch immer nicht decken. Dieser Trend soll sich bis ins nächste Jahr so fortsetzen. ..."
