(2) Board Diversity and Independence:
A. The Company's Articles of Association stipulate that director elections shall fully adopt a candidate nomination system. The Corporate Governance Best Practice Guidelines and Director Election Regulations further mandate that board composition shall prioritize diversity, with tailored diversity policies aligned with the Company's operations, business model, and developmental needs, including but not limited to standards in two key dimensions: fundamental qualifications/values and professional expertise/skills.
B. The Company maintains an ongoing director succession plan, establishing a candidate database based on the following criteria:
i. Integrity, accountability, innovation, and decision-making capabilities, aligning with the Company's core values and demonstrating professional knowledge and skills essential for corporate governance.

Proactive efforts to recruit at least two female directors, ensuring the Board's collective expertise spans corporate strategy, accounting and taxation, finance, legal affairs, administrative management, and production management. The Company ensures strict compliance with qualification reviews and regulatory requirements during the selection of director candidates. This process guarantees that vacancies or expansions in Board seats are filled promptly with qualified individuals who meet the Company's governance standards.
C. The Company has established the "Measures for Board Performance Evaluation," utilizing assessment metrics that include the operational efficiency of board meetings, management of internal relationships and communication, board composition and competencies, and self-assessments by directors. These measures ensure the effective functioning of the Board, evaluate director performance, and provide guidance for future director nominations.
(3) Board Diversity Policy:
A. The Company's Board Diversity Policy is established in accordance with Chapter 3, Article 20 of the Corporate Governance Best Practice Guidelines, which mandates that the composition of the Board of Directors shall prioritize diversity. The policy formulates appropriate diversity objectives aligned with the Company's operational model, business needs, and developmental goals, including but not limited to the following two dimensions:
i. Fundamental Qualifications and Values: Gender, age, nationality, and cultural background.
ii. Professional Expertise and Skills: Professional backgrounds (e.g., law, accounting, industry, finance, marketing, or technology), professional skills, and industry experience.
B. All Board members shall possess the knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary to fulfill their duties effectively. To achieve the ideal goals of corporate governance, the Board as a whole should possess the following capabilities:
i. Operational judgment.
ii. Accounting and financial analysis.
iii. Management expertise.
iv. Crisis management.
v. Industry knowledge.
vi. Global market perspective.
vii. Leadership.
viii. Decision-making skills.
(4) Specific Management Objectives for Board Member Diversity:
The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for guiding corporate strategy, overseeing management, and fulfilling duties to the Company and shareholders. All corporate governance procedures and arrangements shall ensure the Board exercises its authority in accordance with laws, Articles of Association, or shareholder resolutions. Specific management objectives are as follows:
A. The Company's Board of Directors emphasizes gender equality among members, with the board required to include at least one female director.
B. The Board prioritizes operational judgment, management capabilities, and crisis handling competence. At least two-thirds of directors must possess expertise in relevant core competencies.
C. Independent directors shall not serve more than three consecutive terms to maintain independence.
D. Directors holding employee positions in the Company, its parent, subsidiaries, or affiliates shall not exceed one-third (inclusive) of total board seats to ensure oversight effectiveness.
(5) Implementation Status of Board Member Diversity:
To strengthen corporate governance and promote a healthy board structure, the Company considers diversity in its board composition. In accordance with our operational model and developmental needs, we follow an appropriate diversity policy for the selection of board members. All directors possess the necessary knowledge, skills, professional character, and industry decision-making and management capabilities required to perform their duties. Furthermore, the Company continues to arrange diverse professional development courses
for directors to enhance their decision-making quality, fulfill their supervisory responsibilities, and further strengthen board functions.
The Company's current Board of Directors consists of 7 members, including 4 Independent Directors (representing 57.14%). None of the 4 Independent Directors have served more than three consecutive terms, ensuring the independence of the Board. Two members currently hold concurrent employee status (representing 28.6%), and there are 2 female directors (representing 28.6%).

Board Age Distribution
The Company places great importance on the professionalism, diversity, and independence of the Board of Directors, and continues to optimize the board structure in accordance with the "Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles." Board members possess diverse and complementary professional backgrounds, covering fields such as industry experience, business management, finance and accounting, law, risk management, and corporate governance. Furthermore, they possess practical experience in managing listed companies and hold extensive management credentials. With their respective professional backgrounds in relevant industries—combined with the specialized knowledge, skills, and professional character necessary to fulfill their duties—these members effectively enhance the Board's decision-making quality and supervisory functions.
| Leadership | 100% |
|---|---|
| Decision-making | 100% |
| Global Perspective | 100% |
| Industry Knowledge | 86% |
| Financial Management | 57% |
| Operations and Manufacturing | 86% |
| Business Development | 100% |
| Risk Management / Crisis Management | 100% |
| Environmental Sustainability | 71% |
| Social Engagement | 86% |
Achievement Rate
Where seats held by any one gender on the Board of Directors represent less than one-third of the total, the Company shall specify the reasons and the planned measures to increase gender diversity:
(A) Explanation of Reasons: The Company attaches great importance to gender equality and diversity among Board members. Currently, male directors account for 71.4% (5 members) and female directors account for 28.6% (2 members). The failure to reach the one-third threshold is due to the specific technical background requirements of our industry, which has made it difficult to identify and recruit suitable female professionals in the short term.
(B) Measures Taken: The Company has planned to seek talent recommendations through multiple channels, including industry and academic institutions, to increase the number of female directors during the next board re-election upon the expiration of the current term. The Company expects to add 1 to 2 female directors to ensure that any one gender accounts for at least one-third of the board seats. This will fulfill our board diversity policy and enhance decision-making quality and governance effectiveness.
The current seven Board members exhibit diverse professional backgrounds spanning multiple industries, academia, and legal expertise. The implementation status of the board diversity policies is set out in the following table:

- Achievement of goals and individual performance
- Overall performance in other positions
- Salary standards for equivalent positions in recent years
Moreover, C Sun evaluates the reasonable correlation between individual performance, business outcomes, and future risks, while balancing short-term and long-term business objectives and financial conditions to ensure the rationality and robustness of the remuneration mechanism.
(2) Remuneration Policy
According to Article 31 of the Articles of Association of the Company, if the company makes a profit in any given year, it shall allocate 1% to 9% of the profits as employee remuneration, which will be distributed by the Board of Directors in the form of stocks or cash. The distribution targets include employees of affiliated companies who meet certain criteria.
And at least 45% of the aforementioned remuneration for employees shall be allocated as compensation for grassroots employees.
The Company may allocate up to 2.25% of the aforesaid profits as director remuneration, subject to the resolution of the Board of Directors. The proposal on allocating the remuneration for employees and directors shall be reported to the shareholders' meeting.
However, if the Company still has accumulated losses, the amount required to offset such losses must be reserved first, followed by allocations for employee bonuses and director remuneration at the aforesaid ratios.
(3) Manager Remuneration Policy
C Sun's manager remuneration system is closely linked to the Company's operational performance, aiming to enhance operational efficiency and create long-term shareholder value. The remuneration structure includes:
- Fixed Salary: Provides stable remuneration to attract and retain top talent.
- Variable Bonuses: Distributed based on individual performance and corporate operational results to motivate the management team to improve performance.
To ensure that the remuneration system aligns with the Company's operational performance and sustainability strategy, starting from 2023, variable remuneration will be linked to sustainability strategies and goals to promote long-term business operations. Furthermore, when determining the compensation of senior executives, the Compensation Committee collaborates with external professional compensation consultants to ensure that the remuneration is competitive in the market and aligns with market trends.
(4) Duties and Operations of the Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for regularly reviewing the performance evaluation standards, remuneration policies, and systems for directors and managers, ensuring they align with the Company's development strategy and market levels. The review of annual performance targets and remuneration allocation content must be confirmed and approved by the Remuneration Committee.
In 2025, the attendance rate of the Remuneration Committee was 91.7%, and the Board of Directors fully adopted the recommendations of the Remuneration Committee without any modifications or rejections.

| Facing climate change, the Company actively promotes and reforms its GHG reduction management measures, including the improvement plan for energy-saving efficiencies, such as: | ||
| 1. C Sun actively promotes various energy reduction measures, such as gradually replacing company vehicles with hybrid cars to reduce fuel consumption. In 2025, 16 company vehicles were replaced with hybrid models, and until October of this year, fuel consumption decreased by approximately 3.81% compared to last year. | ||
| 2. Through the implementation of ISO 50001, an 'EMS monitoring system' for energy monitoring indicators was established, which facilitated the planning of a 'chiller energy-saving frequency conversion action plan' and actually achieved 'air conditioning energy-saving benefits.' | ||
| Take the current example of two 85KW chillers, with an annual electricity consumption of 2,550 kWh/day × 365 = 2,550 × 365 = 930,750 kWh/year. After installing the frequency converter (saving 20%), it can save approximately 930,750 × 20% = 186,150 kWh/year, which can reduce carbon emissions by approximately 88,2351 tCO2e. | ||
| 3. After the implementation of ISO 50001, combined with the EMS system setup (monitoring, energy consumption visualization, anomaly alerts) and equipment improvements (frequency conversion, air compression system integration, air conditioning optimization, lighting replacement), energy savings of approximately 10%–25% per year can be achieved. | No material deviations | |

Human Rights Due Diligence
The Company's Sustainability Development and Risk Management Committee is responsible for overseeing the formulation of policies, risk assessment, implementation tracking, and information disclosure related to human rights due diligence, so as to ensure that human rights issues are embedded in the Company's corporate governance and operational decision-making.
The Company's human rights due diligence scope covers all employees of the Company, as well as tier-1 suppliers and business partners. By referencing international guidelines and the GRI key issues identification process, the following major human rights issues were identified in 2025 and 2026: For the Company's employees, this includes health and safety, wages and working hours, work discrimination, and privacy protection; for first-tier suppliers, this includes health and safety, wages and working hours, and work discrimination.
The execution steps for the Company's human rights due diligence include:
Firstly, identify and assess the negative human rights impacts on operations and the supply chain through GRI key issues identification, employee surveys, and supplier sustainability self-assessment questionnaires, while integrating public information and internal audit results.
Evaluate based on the severity and likelihood of risks to determine the probability and impact level, prioritizing high-risk issues. Secondly, adopt termination, prevention, and risk mitigation measures for negative human rights impacts, as well as for expected cash shortfall. Then, track the implementation Situation and effectiveness. Finally, conduct information disclosure and communication.
For Tier 1 suppliers, in addition to conducting investigations on the aforementioned human rights impacts, the Company also requires them to sign the "Supplier Social Responsibilities and Integrity Commitment." Moreover, a strict dynamic monitoring is implemented: existing suppliers must execute a sustainability self-assessment questionnaire at least once a year. In execution, the Company has currently launched internal employee surveys and simultaneously collected supplier sustainability self-assessment questionnaire results. Subsequently, risk identification will be conducted based on the survey results, and corresponding mitigation and for expected cash shortfall measures will be taken for each risk issue. | No material deviations |

| 1. Clarify the supervision and governance of the Board of Directors and the management level on climate-related risks and opportunities. | 1. According to the World Economic Forum's (WEF) 2023 Global Risks Report, "failure of climate change mitigation and adaptation" and "natural disasters and extreme weather events" remain significant long-term risks, with escalating threats from climate extremes. To address climate change's potential impacts and implement effective management strategies, C Sun adopted the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations in 2023. Aligned with the four pillars of governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics/targets, C Sun enhances its identification and response to climate risks and opportunities, establishes governance strategies and objectives, and integrates them into operational processes to continuously monitor and mitigate climate-related impacts. |
• Board of Directors
The Board of Directors serves as the supreme unit of C Sun's climate governance. Its main responsibilities include advancing and supervising the strategic directions of climate-related topics, discussing the opportunity trend of current climate risks on an irregular basis, and determining the specific strategies, goals for key climate risks, thus maintaining the sustainable operation of the Company steadily. The General Manager serves as the chairperson of Sustainable Operation Committee under the Board of Directors, and shall report the sustainable operation progress and implementation results of the Company to the Board of Directors.
• Sustainable Operation Committee
The Sustainable Development Committee serves as C Sun's dedicated unit for sustainable development and climate governance. Responsible for identifying key climate-related risks and opportunities pertinent to C Sun's operations, the committee is convened regularly by the General Manager to collaborate with departments on climate response strategies, target setting, and management plans. Execution outcomes are reported to the Board, facilitating internal communication and integration.
The Sustainability Development and Risk Management Committee formulates corresponding strategies and action guidelines for sustainability issues relevant to the Company's operations and of concern to stakeholders, while also tracking the effectiveness of their implementation. The Committee reports to the Board of Directors on sustainability strategies and the execution results of related projects at least once a year.
The Board of Directors regularly hears reports from the management on the progress of the implementation of material issues. Based on the content of such reports, the Board evaluates the feasibility of the strategies or provides other suggested directions, and also tracks implementation progress and urges the management to assess and adjust relevant plans where necessary.
Of the 12 Board meetings held in 2025, 4 meetings included sustainability-related proposals, accounting for 33% of the total number of Board meetings. |

(2) Report on the progress of greenhouse gas inventory and assurance. |
| 2. Clarify how the identified climate-related risks and opportunities affect the business, policies and finance (short, medium and long-term) of the corporate. | 2. Under the assessment of the long-term development of transition risks, the Company is exposed to market risks, technology risks, and policy and regulatory risks. These risks mainly arise from the global advancement of net-zero targets, which may drive customers' demand for carbon reduction and require the Company to develop low-carbon technologies or products in response to future changes in market demand. In addition, transition risks associated with low-carbon policies and regulations, including the implementation of new carbon emission schemes such as domestic carbon fees and cap-and-trade mechanisms, as well as the impact of carbon border adjustment mechanisms imposed by export destination countries, may create uncertainties in raw material costs, product selling costs, and market pricing.
In aligning its business strategies with financial planning, the Company regards the short term (1-5 years) as the preparation period for operational transformation. During this stage, in addition to continuing to strengthen supply chain diversification, contingency plans, and backup work locations in cooperation with the supply chain, the Company will also establish dual-sourcing or regionally flexible dispatch plans, identify high-risk suppliers and equipment, develop low-carbon products, and regularly assess changes in the market and regulatory environment. The Company will also set carbon reduction targets, such as SBTi targets and net-zero commitments, in order to respond to new market demands arising during the medium term (5-15 years), which is regarded as the transitional period toward the net-zero era. As for the long term (15-30 years), the Company will take national net-zero targets as a reference and gradually formulate improvement plans such as emission reduction initiatives. |

| 3. Specify the financial influence of extreme climatic events and transformation actions. | 3. The increasing severity and frequency of extreme weather events, based on an assessment of historical weather data in recent years, indicate that in the short term the areas in which the Company's operating sites are located may, to varying degrees, be affected by extreme weather events associated with climate change. These acute physical risks include abnormal rainfall (such as torrential rain and water shortages), rising temperatures, typhoons, flooding, and other impacts arising from shortages of natural resources or direct natural disasters. From a financial perspective, the impacts are primarily associated with direct or indirect supply chain disruptions caused by extreme weather events, obstruction of transportation and logistics, and even loss of working hours due to office closures or work suspensions. In addition, expenditures on disaster prevention resources, increased insurance costs, and post-disaster recovery may also have certain financial impacts. At present, the Company has identified one physical risk, namely the indirect impact arising from flood potential. The Company uses the Taiwan Climate Change Projection Information and Adaptation Knowledge Platform (TCCIP) to conduct scenario simulations under the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs). Through the platform's online simulations of four global warming scenarios under the RCPs, the Company assesses the most severe conditions that its operating sites may encounter in terms of temperature, sea-level rise, and rainfall variation, and compares the impacts under the two extreme climate change pathways, RCP2.6 and RCP8.5. At this stage, no significant acute or chronic risks have been identified. Nevertheless, if areas surrounding the Company's operating sites are affected by torrential rain, flooding, or other natural disasters, the Company may still be affected by transportation disruptions and employee commuting difficulties, which may directly or indirectly result in interruptions to raw material supply and product delivery, as well as increased labor and operating costs.

(II) Industry Overview:
(1) Industry current status and development:
Over the past decades, the development of semiconductor manufacturing process has allowed the line width of transistors to shorten from tens of microns to nano-level. However, the further development of manufacturing process is restricted by increase of design and manufacturing costs, reduction of critical margin, and other challenges. At the same time, number of I/O pins and speed of interconnection between wafers are limited with the increase of intensity of transistors in the wafer. As a result, simple manufacturing process scaling fails to achieve the efficiency improvement as expected by Moore's Law, with limited effects observed. To this end, semiconductor industry turns to strategies beyond Moore's Law. Size and number of transistors are no longer the only focus, efficiency, power consumption, chip area, costs and other aspects are taken into consideration. Through 2.5D and 3D heterogeneous integration of the advanced manufacturing process, multiple chips with different functions (such as logic circuits, radio frequency circuits, MEMS, sensors, neural computing units) are integrated into a single package. Such integration will, in addition to extending the economic benefits of Moore's Law, drive the continued development of the semiconductor industry, especially when combined with technologies such as AI applications, IoT and 5G. In the trend of demand for smaller, lighter and thinner electronics, heterogeneous integration technology has become the new normal. With the advent of 5G, IoT and AI, high performance and AI chips have become the hardware architecture of key technologies such as data centers, deep learning training and inference, and the demand has increased significantly to promote the development of important application markets.
According to IDC, the global server market is entering a structural growth phase driven by AI, with large-scale deployment of GPU servers as the main growth driver. The demand for AI infrastructure development has clearly surpassed adverse factors such as overall economic slowdown, geopolitical issues, and tariffs, indicating that Market growth arises from a long-term restructuring of computing power demand rather than short-term business cycles. In 2024, the global server market size is approximately US$253 billion, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 71.8%, marking the first large-scale deployment of AI servers. In 2025, the market size is expected to further expand to US$455.4 billion, with an annual growth of 80.0%, driven by investments from hyperscale cloud service providers. The market size in 2026 is projected to reach US$565.9 billion, with an annual growth rate falling to 24.3%. Although the growth is tending towards normalization, it is still maintaining high-quality growth due to the elevated base period. In the mid-term outlook, IDC estimates that the global server market will have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately
28.7% from 2024 to 2029.
Despite the continuous improvement in AI model efficiency, the expansion rate of training and inference demand remains higher than the efficiency improvement rate, significantly alleviating concerns about a slowdown in AI infrastructure investment from the start of 2025. Overall, the AI-driven compute demand will continue to support the growth of the server market. With Hyperscalers leading and enterprise hybrid deployment models running concurrently, the global server Market is expected to maintain a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) close to 30% until 2029.

Industry outlook:
The "re-industrialization" transformation of AI infrastructure and the gigawatt (GW) competition
-
Paradigm Shift: From Software Services to the "AI Factory" Heavy Assets Race 2025 to 2026 marks a historic turning point for the AI industry, transitioning from a "model training race" to an "energy and infrastructure race." As defined by NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, data centers are no longer merely storage and computational units, but rather "AI factories" with heavy industry characteristics. Under this paradigm shift, the unit of measurement for computing power has officially leaped from "megawatts (MW)" to "gigawatts (GW)," representing not only an exponential increase in computing scale but also establishing the capability to acquire energy as the core moat for technology giants over the next decade.
-
The historic expansion of capital expenditures: a $650 billion ticket. To support this transformation, the four major American technology giants—Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft—are engaging in an unprecedented scale of capital arms race. The market estimates that the total capital expenditure for these four companies in 2026 will reach US$650 billion, an amount that surpasses the annual GDP of many countries, highlighting the high cost barrier of building AI infrastructure.
-
Amazon demonstrates the strongest expansion ambition, projecting spending to reach US$200 billion in 2026, far exceeding market expectations, with a focus on vertical integration in chips, robotics, and low-orbit satellites.
-
Alphabet plans to double its spending from US$91.45 billion in 2025 to US$185 billion in 2026, reflecting its aggressive expansion in energy assets.
-
Meta is also keeping pace, with capital expenditures expected to jump from US$72.22 billion to US$135 billion, focusing on long-term computing power reserves.
-
Microsoft will maintain a high investment of US$105 billion in FY2026, continuing to deepen its infrastructure collaboration with OpenAI.
Despite the massive cash burn causing short-term market concerns about an "AI bubble" and "return on investment (ROI)," from a long-term strategic perspective, this is a necessary evil to maintain technological sovereignty in the gigawatt era.

-
"Gigawatt-Level" Strategic Layout: Energy is Computing Power, Computing Power is National Power. Against the backdrop of NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture significantly enhancing energy efficiency, a power capacity of 1 GW approximately corresponds to a computing power cluster of 500,000 high-end GPUs. Therefore, whoever can first secure a stable supply of GW-level electricity will gain an overwhelming advantage in model training and inference. The strategies of major CSPs have shown significant differentiation and upgrades:
-
Distributed Clusters and Physicalization (OpenAI & Oracle): The "Stargate" project between the two parties has entered the substantive execution phase, aiming to complete a 10 GW infrastructure deployment by the end of 2026. This will be achieved by utilizing gigawatt-level sites distributed across Texas and other locations to avoid single grid bottlenecks.
-
Extreme Density and Speed (xAI): Implementing a rapid iteration strategy, the Memphis "Colossus" data center aims to achieve 2 GW of ultra-high-density computing power at a single site and addresses real-time power supply issues by constructing its own gas power plant.
-
Vertical Integration of the Energy Supply Chain (Google): Google directly takes control of a 10.8 GW energy project pipeline through the acquisition of Intersect Power and is constructing a 1 GW hub in India. This indicates that its strategy has shifted from "purchasing power" to "controlling power" to ensure sustainable expansion under the 2030 net-zero carbon target.
-
Nuclear Power and Hyperscale Planning (Meta): Proposed the most ambitious "Meta
Compute" project, targeting 6 GW of nuclear power supply and envisioning hundreds of gigawatts in long-term scale, attempting to establish a long-term cost advantage through controlling baseload power.
Overall, the competitive dimensions of the AI industry have expanded from simply "chip supply" and "algorithm superiority" to a multifaceted game of "chips + energy + land." Future corporate competition will no longer depend solely on the possession of GPUs, but more on the execution efficiency in converting hundreds of billions of dollars in capital into stable "gigawatt-level computing power." This industrial revolution, defined by NVIDIA's standards and heavily invested in by the four major CSPs, will enter a decisive critical phase in 2026.
Taiwan Semiconductor in 2026 Driven by AI Dual Engines: From Arms Race to Infrastructure Reconstruction
Entering 2026, as generative AI officially transitions from the exploratory phase to large-scale deployment, Taiwan's semiconductor industry is positioned at the absolute core of the global computing revolution. Its growth dynamics have also undergone a structural transformation, evolving from the past dominance by NVIDIA to a new landscape of "NVIDIA universal GPUs" and "CSP self-developed ASICs" racing alongside each other as dual engines. Despite intensifying market competition, NVIDIA maintains its dominance in the AI training market with its Blackwell architecture and the experimental Rubin chip. To ensure supply, it has secured over $60\%$ of TSMC's 2026 CoWoS advanced packaging capacity and is actively promoting the transition of technology to integrate HBM4 into CoWoS-L. This establishes the critical role of Taiwan's supply chain in continuing performance through heterogeneous integration in the post-Moore's Law era.
Meanwhile, cloud giants are initiating a second strong wave of in-house ASIC development to optimize total cost of ownership and reduce reliance on a single supplier, directly injecting new vitality into design service providers such as MediaTek, Alchip, and Global Unichip. Google's TPU v7 and Microsoft's second-generation Maia accelerators have become significant drivers for TSMC's 3nm/4nm processes, with the former supporting large-scale multimodal models and the latter adopting a hybrid "training + inference" strategy. Amazon is aggressively pursuing cost-effectiveness with Trainium 3 and is even beginning to explore alternatives such as panel-level packaging to alleviate bottlenecks. Facing simultaneous order grabs from the three major giants, the capacity shortfall has forced orders to overflow to leading packaging and testing firms such as ASE and Powertech Technology Inc.. This not only confirms TSMC CEO Wei, Che-Chia's upward revision of AI revenue's compound annual
growth rate exceeding $50\%$ but also indicates that the industry's value chain is doubling due to the increase in chip size and packaging complexity.
By 2026, Taiwan's semiconductor industry is no longer reliant on cyclical growth from a single client but has become the cornerstone of global AI infrastructure reconstruction. With the advancement of trillion-dollar infrastructure projects such as the U.S. "Stargate Project," this AI-led structural growth cycle will be more enduring and robust than the previous PC or mobile phone era. Taiwan's advanced process and packaging cluster has become an indispensable strategic high ground in this "chip + energy" war.
Advanced Packaging Innovations: CoWoS and 3D Stacking
Meeting AI demand requires not only increased wafer capacity but also breakthroughs in chip packaging technologies. Current AI accelerators' extreme computational power and energy consumption have rendered traditional packaging a major bottleneck limiting performance. Consequently, Taiwan has achieved a leadership position in advanced packaging technologies, with TSMC's CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) standing as one of the most critical innovations. CoWoS technology enables multiple large dies and High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) stacks to be integrated on a single silicon interposer, allowing NVIDIA's GPUs to be combined with HBM to deliver the ultra-high memory bandwidth required for AI training. This technology has become the standard configuration for high-end AI chips—not only adopted by NVIDIA's latest Hopper (H100) GPUs but also essential for future Blackwell GPUs, while AMD, Google, and other AI accelerator manufacturers extensively
TSMC CoWoS Yearly Capacity Allocation

utilize CoWoS.
According to data from Fubon Research (as shown in the figure above), NVIDIA will occupy 50% of the global CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) capacity in 2026, far surpassing other companies. In short, without advanced packaging technologies like CoWoS, the performance of current AI hardware would be severely constrained. Thus, TSMC is aggressively expanding CoWoS capacity to meet the surging demand for AI chips and ensure Taiwan's pivotal role in the AI supply chain. Entering the first quarter of 2026, NVIDIA's dominance in the AI compute arms race has become evident through its absolute lock on TSMC's CoWoS capacity. According to the latest supply chain data, NVIDIA will encompass about 60% of global CoWoS supply this year, and has secured nearly 70% of the capacity in the highest-tier CoWoS-L process. This means that "advanced packaging" has officially surpassed wafer miniaturization to become the ultimate moat defining AI hardware performance and market share.
Faced with this structural demand, TSMC's capacity expansion strategy has shifted from passively catching up to actively reshaping. Although capacity has doubled consecutively over the past two years, the market supply-demand gap has yet to narrow as of early 2026. To this end, research institutions estimate that TSMC will further raise its CoWoS monthly production capacity target to 130,000 to 140,000 wafers by the end of 2026 and accelerate the expansion of new plants in Chiayi and other locations, with an annual capacity exceeding one million wafers. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated bluntly during a talk in Taipei in early February 2026 that TSMC's output may need to double again in the next decade to address the exponential growth in AI demand.
This momentum has also caused a qualitative change in TSMC's revenue structure. The full-year 2025 financial report shows that revenue contribution from the advanced packaging business has officially surpassed the critical 10% mark, with growth significantly outpacing the company's average level. This marks TSMC's successful transition from a traditional "foundry manufacturer" to a "system-level integration service provider." In the AI value chain, its pricing power and irreplaceability have risen in tandem with the evolution of Moore's Law, solidifying Taiwan's more central strategic position in the global geopolitical and economic landscape of semiconductors.
To accelerate expansion, TSMC has even started outsourcing portions of its 2.5D packaging operations, including entrusting Siliconware Precision Industries (SPIL), a subsidiary of ASE Group, with 2.5D CoWoS packaging. Mass production of AI chips using CoWoS packaging is scheduled to commence in the second quarter of 2025. This unprecedented supply chain collaboration demonstrates Taiwan's semiconductor industry uniting to resolve capacity bottlenecks and ensure stable AI chip supply.
Beyond 2.5D silicon interposer (CoWoS) technology, the next frontier in semiconductor development is 3D stacking. TSMC's SoIC (System on Integrated Chips) technology employs direct copper-to-copper bonding to vertically stack chips at ultra-high density. This approach allows logic dies to be stacked directly on I/O dies or other computing units, effectively constructing CPUs or AI accelerators in three-dimensional space for significant performance gains.
SoIC employs hybrid bonding technology, currently achieving 6μm interconnect pitch, with plans to reduce it to 3μm by 2027. This supports thousands of interconnects within a chip, offering signal density far exceeding traditional bump bonding. TSMC is actively scaling SoIC capacity to meet market needs. Unlike CoWoS, SoIC's front-end wafer bonding process faces fewer bottlenecks from substrates and tooling limitations. This massive capacity expansion signals TSMC's belief that 3D stacking will become the mainstream packaging solution for AI high-performance computing (HPC) and premium consumer electronics. Through continuous innovation and capacity expansion, TSMC is reinforcing its leadership in the global AI chip and advanced packaging markets, ensuring Taiwan's critical role in future AI supply chains.
Moving forward, the semiconductor industry will gradually enter an era of heterogeneous integration, combining multiple packaging technologies to further enhance AI chip performance. TSMC's technology roadmap envisions integrating SoIC 3D-stacked chiplets onto larger CoWoS interposers, merging 3D stacking with 2.5D technology to create "System on Package (SoP)." Such innovation is vital for AI chips, as slowing Moore's Law shifts performance gains to advanced packaging.
As chip architectures grow more complex, packaging must evolve in tandem. Future advancements may integrate silicon photonics within packages, enabling multi-GPU optical interconnects. This technology not only overcomes traditional electrical signal bandwidth limits but also reduces power consumption, boosting AI training and inference efficiency.
Future packaging could incorporate optical links and other breakthroughs to transcend electrical signal constraints. These technological innovations are almost entirely centered around Taiwan—TSMC and its partners have established a complete 3DIC ecosystem (3D Fabric Alliance), driving the advancement of packaging technology. The partners of the G2C+ Alliance are also among its members.
Taiwan: From Chip Manufacturer to Designer of AI Computing Cores
These developments demonstrate that Taiwan is no longer merely a global chip manufacturing hub but is now taking the lead in AI chip packaging and assembly technologies. Today,
the importance of advanced packaging technologies has become equivalent to the development of advanced process nodes, as packaging innovations directly impact the performance and power consumption of AI chips. Taiwan is making substantial investments to ensure it maintains a leading position in this AI revolution. The trend is clear: to meet the "insatiable demand" for global AI computing, advanced packaging technologies will become the key battleground in future semiconductor industry competition, and Taiwan is steadily advancing toward the core of the AI chip ecosystem.
Next-Generation Server Motherboard and PCB Technologies: Moving Towards the Integration of High-Layer-Count and HDI
The computing demands of AI servers are completely reshaping PCB technology specifications. To support high-performance GPUs and ASICs from NVIDIA, AMD, and others, server motherboards are shifting from traditional designs to high-density interconnect (HDI) and ultra-high-layer-count multilayer boards (HLC MLB). Current AI server applications, such as OAM accelerator modules and UBB universal baseboards, commonly employ board structures with 20 to 30 layers or even more. These applications must use Extreme Low Loss materials and HVLP copper foil to ensure signal integrity. In addition, as the demand for transmission speed increases, the technological roadmap is evolving towards the introduction of Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) and optical interconnect technologies in 2026, which will further drive the technological requirements for advanced packaging substrates.
Taiwan's Semiconductor Ecosystem: Capacity Expansion and the Supply Chain Resilience of "Taiwan + Southeast Asia"
The capacity expansion of Taiwan's PCB industry is no longer confined locally, but has formed a dual-track resilience of "Taiwan R&D, Southeast Asia manufacturing." To address geopolitical risks and tariff challenges, major Taiwanese PCB manufacturers (such as Zhen Ding, Unimicron, Wus Printed Circuit, COMPEQ, etc.) are actively expanding their production capacity to Southeast Asia, with Thailand becoming the most critical emerging manufacturing hub for PCBs. This supply chain realignment not only diversifies risks but also ensures that, amid global trade tensions, Taiwan's supply chain remains stable in providing critical components to global cloud service providers (CSPs).
According to a recent Prismark report, major PCB suppliers are establishing production capacity in Southeast Asia at an unprecedented pace to shorten the cycle from plant construction to revenue contribution from 4-5 quarters.
- Zhen Ding: As an industry leader, its capital expenditure for the first three quarters of 2025 surged by 120.9% to US$792 million, actively building high-end capacity in Thailand to meet the demand for AI and servers.
- Unimicron: In addition to Taiwan, capacity is also being expanded in Thailand and Vietnam, and investments are being made in Germany to maintain the resilience of the global presence.
- Wus Printed Circuit has benefited from the strong demand for AI servers, with revenue significantly growing by 47.2%, and is actively constructing a plant in Thailand to diversify risks.
- Gold Circuit Electronics Ltd. focuses on high-end server boards, achieving a revenue growth of 55%, with its new plant in Thailand being key to supporting future capacity.
Capacity Expansion and AI-Driven Growth
AI-driven growth is no longer just a vision; it is a concrete data explosion. Goldman Sachs Research estimates that the global AI server PCB and CCL markets will grow rapidly with compound annual growth rates (CAGR) of 140% and 179%, respectively, from 2025 to 2027. The overall Market size is expected to reach US$27 billion by 2027. This wave of growth is mainly driven by the demand for AI servers (including GPUs and ASICs), high-speed network switches, and satellite communications. To capture this business opportunity, suppliers are actively expanding their capacities for high-end HDI and multilayer boards, particularly focusing on high-margin products for OAM and switch boards.
To capture this "winner-takes-all" Market, Goldman Sachs points out that key players have demonstrated astonishing capital expenditure strength:
- Victory Giant Technology: To secure orders from NVIDIA and Google TPU, its capital expenditure for the first three quarters of 2025 skyrocketed by 377.6% to US$507 million, demonstrating an extremely aggressive expansion ambition.
- TTM Technologies: As a key supplier in North America, its capital expenditure also grew by 122.4%, primarily for expanding production in Malaysia and the United States.
- Shennan Circuits: Capital expenditure increased by 28.9%, and it is expected to secure a larger share of Google TPU orders after 2027.
Solving Advanced Substrate Bottlenecks: From ABF to Low-CTE Glass Cloth to CoWoS-like Diverse Process Iterations
Although the shortage of ABF substrates has gradually eased with the expansion of capacity, the industry bottleneck is now clearly shifting upstream to advanced materials and higher-level packaging technology nodes. Among them, the most critical limitation comes from the low coefficient of thermal expansion (Low-CTE) glass cloth and core materials used for large-size FCBGA substrates. As package sizes increase and I/O density continues to rise, the limitations of traditional materials in warp control, dimensional stability, and yield are increasingly evident, becoming the core factors constraining the mass production of high-end substrates. To enhance supply chain resilience and surpass the physical limitations of Moore's Law and organic interposers, the industry is accelerating the development of glass core substrates and fine-pitch 2.3D advanced packaging substrate technologies. Glass substrates, with their lower CTE, superior flatness, and dimensional stability, are considered a key solution for supporting future ultra-large package sizes and high I/O densities, particularly suitable for next-generation AI and HPC chips. In terms of advanced packaging capacity, TSMC's CoWoS is still constrained by process and equipment bottlenecks, driving the Market's increasing demand for alternative or supplementary solutions, including the flexible application of heterogeneous integration technologies such as Intel EMIB. Looking beyond 2026, as packaging sizes move towards larger scales (for example, achieving 9x reticle size with the A16 SoIC architecture), the industry will inevitably need to overcome the limitations of existing organic interposers in terms of reticle size and process yield, further driving the commercialization of glass core substrates and fine-pitch 2.3D packaging.
Under this trend, major substrate manufacturers in Taiwan, such as Unimicron, have started deep collaborations with upstream material suppliers to actively certify and co-develop new low-CTE materials and glass substrates. Meanwhile, international substrate manufacturers like Ibiden are also increasing their investments in the high-end ABF and advanced packaging substrate fields. This type of "materials × substrates × packaging" collaborative development capability will become a key change in the value chain of the AI chip packaging competition after 2026.
Taiwan's Strategic Position:
A Complete Ecosystem from Chip Manufacturing to Advanced Packaging
Taiwan's strategic position in the AI era has extended from mere chip manufacturing to encompass a complete ecosystem including optical packaging (such as TSMC's COUPE tech
nology) and PCB equipment. TSMC's CoWoS capacity and technology roadmap (such as integrating optical engines into interposers) steer the evolution of packaging technology, while Taiwan's equipment suppliers and PCB manufacturers closely follow, providing the necessary process support. Major PCB suppliers such as Zhen Ding and Unimicron showed strong revenue performance in 2025, indicating Taiwan's increasingly solidified "winner-takes-all" advantage in the global AI hardware supply chain.

Industry Outlook for PCB Demand in AI Applications
The year 2025 marks a turning point for the strong recovery of the electronics industry, with the PCB Market expected to grow by $15.4\%$ , led by AI servers and high-speed network infrastructure. Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, the influence of AI will spill over from cloud data centers to edge devices (AI PCs, smartphones) and automotive electronics. We can expect:
- Continuous breakthroughs in technology: Rapid transition from traditional multilayer boards to HDI, glass substrates, and silicon photonics technologies.
- Deep collaboration in the supply chain: Hyperscale companies like NVIDIA and Google will take a more active role in defining PCB and material specifications, forming a closer symbiotic relationship with Taiwanese manufacturers.
Ecological symbiosis: The pursuit of AI computational power will stimulate technological
advancements beyond AI itself (such as low-loss materials and advanced drilling equipment), benefiting the entire electronics supply chain.
In the absence of major geopolitical disruptions, Taiwan combines its exceptional manufacturing capabilities, flexible transnational capacity layout, and rapid response to cutting-edge AI demands, laying a solid foundation for industry leadership in the coming decade. Taiwanese manufacturers will continue to play a central role in R&D and high-end manufacturing, while building a robust supply chain of "Taiwan R&D, global manufacturing" through overseas capacities in Thailand and other locations, laying the foundation for industry leadership in the next decade.

Among packaging technologies in different systems, 3D TSV (through-silicon via) packaging technology is the connection technology most likely to allow the advancement of packaging according to Moore's Law; its design concept derives from the multilayer design of a printed circuit board Printed Circuit Board (PCB)(PCB). TSV enables sandwich-style stacking of multiple chips, creating three-dimensional stacked packages with electrical interconnections. This technology has advanced the 2D planar chip configuration to 3D stacking solutions. Foundries and packaging/testing houses are now actively developing 3D IC packaging and testing capabilities.

In the following years, the 3D IC chip-stacking technology would be applied in more and wider ranges of categories, in particular applications that require great calculation capacity and memory capacity (including applications related to multi-core servers and AI). Furthermore, due to the increasing heterogenization of the system's internal composition, 3D IC stacking technology becomes the key. A heterogenized system would comprise various different parts and components (such as memory, image sensor, III-V electronic equipment for analog functions, and RF, processor, and low-power consumption electronic equipment). Appropriate technology would be adopted for the design and process of parts and components, and the 3D IC stacking technology would be utilized to package them into a single unit, so as to improve the operating efficacy of electronic systems and reduce costs and power consumption.

As the Company has established its Technology Committee to be responsible for coordinating the R&D strategies of the Company's future products and the constant improvements of R&D staff's quality in recent years, new product development associated with the future industrial changes would continue to be developed.
(V) Effect on the Company's finance and business of important policies adopted and changes in the legal environment at home and abroad, and measures to be taken in response:
The Company complies with the amendments to significant policies and laws related to corporate governance, the Company Act, the Securities Exchange Act made by competent authorities. Furthermore, the Company's management observes and attaches attention to changes in domestic and foreign significant policies and laws at all times and actively proposes countermeasures in due course; therefore, there is no significant effect on the Company's financial operations.
(VI) Effects of changes in technologies (including cybersecurity risks) and industries on the Company's financial operations and countermeasures:
The Board of Directors places high importance on the potential operational impacts brought by changes in technology and requires the management to incorporate key issues, including "information security risk control," into core management indicators and integrate them into the annual targets and performance assessments of each business unit. To address information security risks, the company, through the Sustainable Development and Risk Management Committee, has established management systems at all levels to minimize the risks and impacts brought by external environments and technological advancements. In response to the ever-evolving hacker attack technology and potential operational disruption risks, the Company continuously enhances digital protection resilience, including the establishment of a Security Operations Center (SOC), obtaining ISO 27001 certification, and meeting the SEMI E187 standards for high-tech supply chains. At the same time, irregular social engineering drills and penetration tests are conducted annually to ensure the company can effectively protect critical information assets and maintain outstanding market competitiveness in the face of rapidly changing cybersecurity threats, thereby avoiding significant adverse impacts on the company's financial and business operations due to technological or cybersecurity risks. Therefore, there is no significant effect on the Company's financial operations.

(VIII) Expected benefits and possible risks arising from mergers and acquisitions and countermeasures: As of the date of publishing the Annual Report, the Company had no merger plan.
(IX) Expected benefits and possible risks associated with plant expansions and countermeasures:
A. Purchase of the Taichung Operations and Research & Development Headquarters land
The Company won the bid from the Taichung City Government on September 9, 2025, acquiring a piece of land with an area of 1,622.53 ping in the Fengwei section of the Shuinan Economic and Trade Park in Taichung City. It plans to use this land alongside the existing Taichung Plant site to construct the Taichung Operations and Research & Development Headquarters. The project is expected to be funded by bank loans, with a payment of NT$638,361 thousand anticipated before October 2025. Subsequent payments of NT$638,361 thousand and NT$547,167 thousand will be made in December 2025 and March 2026, respectively. In recent years, The Company has actively invested in AI, advanced packaging, and digital manufacturing technologies, successfully transitioning into the semiconductor equipment supply chain. Given the industry's characteristics that require continuous R&D investment to meet the technological needs of end customers, and the need for The Company's advanced processes to continuously tailor products according to customer demands, the current semiconductor R&D space within the Taichung Plant's factory premises is no longer sufficient for use. There is an urgent need for a comprehensive layout with spacious workflow R&D space and top-tier domestic semiconductor R&D talent.
The acquired land in the Fengwei section of the Shuinan Economic and Trade Park in Taichung City is designated as a "Type II Innovation and Research and Development Special Zone" with a development focus on attracting industrial investment. Considering the increasing difficulty in acquiring land in Domestic parks due to the return of Taiwanese businesses in recent years, and the fact that the area is bordered by roads on three sides, is intact, and is near Feng Chia University with well-developed surroundings and convenient transportation, it is very conducive to attracting talent nearby. This location truly meets The Company's needs. The Company has signed an industry-academia collaboration memorandum of understanding with Feng Chia University on May 8, 2025, and demonstrated the long-term cooperation concept of jointly establishing a "Pioneering Energy and Thermal Management Laboratory" with Feng Chia by donating instruments and equipment. As the Company has just acquired the land, the detailed planning for the overall Operations and Research & Development Headquarters is still underway. However, the new base will aim to integrate operations, research and development, and educational functions to form a regional hub with a complete value chain.
B. Taichung Second Plant
The Company announced on February 2, 2026, the acquisition of the Taichung Nantun District Jingke 1st Road No. 12 Plant for NT$1,480,000 thousand, with remaining payments of NT$437,160 thousand to be made in installments throughout 2026 as per agreement. This decision was primarily made considering that the usable area of the Company's original Taichung Plant was only 746 ping, no longer sufficient to meet the Company's Product production and research & development needs. Therefore, the acquisition of the Taichung Nantun District Jingke 1st Road No. 12 Plant was proposed as a new site solution to meet the growing capacity and R&D demands. The funds for this project mainly come from the financing of the land associated with the project.
