新加坡：在台湾和荷兰半导体企业的支持下，VisionPower Semiconductor Manufacturing Company（VSMC，晶门半导体制造公司）于周一（9月28日）在新加坡正式开设其首座耗资85亿新元（约67亿美元）的晶圆制造厂，预计将创造1,600个新就业岗位。
SINGAPORE: Backed by semiconductor firms from Taiwan and the Netherlands, VisionPower Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (VSMC) opened its first S$8.5 billion (US$6.7 billion) wafer fabrication plant in Singapore on Monday (Sep 28), which is expected to create 1,600 new jobs.
该淡滨尼工厂计划于2027年第一季度开始量产，预计到2029年达产时，月产能将达到44,000片硅晶圆。
Set to begin volume production in the first quarter of 2027, the Tampines facility will be able to produce 44,000 silicon wafers per month when it reaches full capacity by 2029.
不同于通常采用2纳米或更先进制程生产的人工智能芯片，VSMC新加坡工厂将专注于生产40至130纳米制程的芯片，这些成熟制程芯片仍有强劲需求，应用于混合信号、电源管理和中介层等领域。
Instead of the semiconductor chips used in artificial intelligence typically produced using the two-nanometre or smaller process, VSMC's Singapore plant is set to produce the 40- to 130-nanometre chips that are still in high demand, such as for mixed-signal, power management and interposer applications.
公司在新闻稿中表示，这些产品将服务于高性能计算、移动通信、汽车电子、工业控制和消费电子等市场。
These will serve the high-performance computing, mobile, automotive, industrial and consumer markets, the company said in a press release.
VSMC是由台湾台积电支持的世界先进（Vanguard International Semiconductor，VIS）与荷兰恩智浦半导体（NXP Semiconductors）合资成立的合资企业。
VSMC is a joint venture between Taiwan’s TSMC backed Vanguard International Semiconductor (VIS) and the Netherlands' NXP Semiconductors.
这座耗时22个月建成的VSMC工厂将生产300毫米晶圆。晶圆——一种由硅制成的薄圆盘——是构建微芯片、半导体和集成电路所需的基础材料。
The VSMC facility, which has taken 22 months to build, will be fabricating 300mm wafers. A wafer – a thin, circular disk made out of silicon – is the foundation needed to build microchips, semiconductors and integrated circuits.

贸工部（能源与工业）部长陈诗龙医生在开幕仪式上致辞时表示，尽管当前关注焦点多集中在为人工智能提供动力的最先进逻辑芯片上，但特种半导体同样至关重要。
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Minister for Trade and Industry (Energy and Industry) Dr Tan See Leng said that while much of the attention today is on the most advanced logic chips that power artificial intelligence, specialty semiconductors are just as essential.
他指出，半导体产业规模预计将于2030年增至1.6万亿美元，随着电气化、互联设备和工业自动化等趋势发展，特种芯片的需求也在持续增长。
Noting that the semiconductor industry is set to double to US$1.6 trillion by 2030, he added that demand for specialty chips is growing with trends like electrification, connected devices and industrial automation.
陈医生表示，该工厂将极大地提升新加坡的半导体制造能力，并巩固其作为全球半导体供应链中值得信赖节点的角色。
The plant will contribute significantly to Singapore’s semiconductor manufacturing capabilities and reinforce its role as a trusted node in the global semiconductor supply chain, said Dr Tan.
陈医生表示，在1600个新职位中，75%将面向专业、管理、行政和技术人员。
Of the 1,600 new jobs, 75 per cent will be for professional, managerial, executive and technician roles, said Dr Tan.
他补充道，这些职位包括工程师、化学家和数据科学家，他们将操作先进制造设备、开发和制造晶圆以及优化制造工艺。
These include engineers, chemists and data scientists who will operate advanced manufacturing equipment, develop and fabricate wafers and optimise the manufacturing process, he added.
“这些职位将为新加坡人提供机会，在一个重要且不断增长的行业中建立深厚技能和有意义的职业生涯。”根据经济发展局的一份概况表，半导体行业目前贡献了新加坡经济近6%，并雇佣了超过35,000人。
“These roles will give Singaporeans opportunities to build deep skills and meaningful careers in an important, growing industry.” The semiconductor industry presently contributes close to 6 per cent of Singapore’s economy and employs more than 35,000 people, according to a factsheet from the Economic Development Board.
新加坡占全球芯片产量的约十分之一。该国每年还生产全球五分之一的半导体设备。
Singapore accounts for about one in every 10 chips made globally The country also produces one-fifth of global semiconductor equipment annually.

VSMC和VIS主席Leuh Fang强调，随着半导体需求持续增长，可靠制造和有韧性的供应链至关重要。
Chairman of VSMC and VIS Leuh Fang stressed the importance of reliable manufacturing and resilient supply chains as demand for semiconductors continues to grow.
对于VSMC而言，新加坡是长期战略合作伙伴，这项投资反映了其对新加坡在全球半导体行业中地位的信心。
For VSMC, Singapore is a long-term strategic partner, and the investment reflects its confidence in the country’s role in the global semiconductor industry.
恩智浦半导体总裁兼首席执行官Rafael Sotomayor指出，世界正进入一个人工智能超越云端、走向物理世界的时代，物理AI应用于车辆、机器人和工厂。
President and CEO of NXP Semiconductors Rafael Sotomayor noted that the world is entering an era where artificial intelligence is moving beyond the cloud and into the physical world, with physical AI applications to vehicles, robots and factories.
他补充道：“半导体是这一变革的核心，为可信的物理AI提供基础，而像VSMC这样的设施对于实现这一点至关重要。”
“Semiconductors are at the heart of this transformation, providing the foundation for trusted physical AI and facilities like VSMC are essential to enable it,” he added.
