AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Semiconductor Materials: BASF is expanding its Taoyuan site, adding production capacity and research capabilities for advanced chip materials, including technologies below 2 nanometers. Chip Supply Chains: GlobalWafers plans to raise up to US$500 million from Micron through convertible bonds, supporting its U.S. operations and a decade-long supply partnership. Next-Generation Fabs: Taiwan plans a new Tainan science park to prepare for a prospective 1-nanometer fab; TSMC has not confirmed it will operate the facility. Export Controls: Lawmakers are moving to tighten controls on semiconductor exports to China, as reports describe HBM being smuggled through regional supply chains. AI Market Strain: A tech sell-off sent Taiwan’s market down 3.6%, while the AI boom is also making early-stage startups harder to fund.
