Zhang Zhongmou: The next three years, TSMC revenue growth of 5 to 10%

TSMC chairman Zhang Zhongmou pointed out on Saturday (4th) that it is expected that in the next few years, the annual growth rate of the global logic semiconductor market is expected to be maintained at 4 ~ 5%; and TSMC (2016) and 2017 are calculated in U.S. dollars Of the consolidated revenue are nearly 10% annual growth rate of performance, and the next three years is expected to calculate the dollar revenue, there will be 5 ~ 10% annual growth performance.

TSMC held its 30th anniversary Games on Saturday and lastly held a pre-retirement appointment for Zhang Zhongmou. Looking forward to the future performance of TSMC, Zhang Zhongmou pointed out that TSMC's revenues in 2017 will have been increased by about 4% in Taiwan dollars in 2017 due to the appreciation of the Taiwan dollar. However, , Revenue growth of about 9%, in addition, it is expected in the next three years in the United States dollar revenue will still have 5 to 10% annual growth performance, and quite sure, 'in addition to the exchange rate is not sure, the other is sure' The growth of three years later, left to take over Andy Lau and Weizhe home to say.

Looking ahead to the semiconductor market, Zhang Zhongmou said that the semiconductor market in 2017 will see strong growth over 2016 due to the strong growth of memory and 6% growth in logic chips, which is not bad but can not be said to be very strong. In the next two years, , The market of logic semiconductor still can grow 4 ~ 5% every year on average.

About TSMC's new 3-nanometer plant, Zhang Zhongmou said the 3-nanometer new plant is expected to reach Tainan, but at least two years from now, it is estimated that it will not start building a new 3-nanometer plant until 2020. The government now guarantees that hydropower And all other demand is not a problem, but also hope that the next two years, the government confidence in TSMC can be gradually increased.

Zhang Zhongmou also said that TSMC's future growth momentum will come from mobile computing, high performance computing, automotive electronics, Internet of things four major growth platforms. Mobile devices have begun to have artificial intelligence (AI) function, the future mobile device products will have more AI , And other growth platforms will also have AI capabilities; TSMC's third decade, in the field of mobile devices invest a lot, but also a lot of recovery, the future will continue to invest a lot of resources in the AI, and the expected AI will be right TSMC has made great contributions.
