台積電董事長劉德音在國際半導體展SEMICON Taiwan 2023發表專題演講，他說，半導體技術發展「已抵達隧道的出口，隧道以外有更多可能性，我們不再受隧道的束縛」。
而最近生成式AI造成晶片短缺，劉說，並非台積電製程產能不足，而是CoWoS產能突然增加，增幅為往常的三倍之多；台積電產能約一年半後就會趕上客戶需求，塞爆產能應是短期現象。劉也提到台積電在美國設廠的進度，獲得當地政府在內的支持，請外界拭目以待。

Chairman Mark Liu of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) delivered a keynote speech at SEMICON Taiwan 2023, an international semiconductor exhibition. He stated that the development of semiconductor technology has reached the exit of the tunnel. There are many possibilities outside the tunnel, and the company is no longer bound by the tunnel.
The recent shortage of chips caused by generative AI, Liu said, is not due to a lack of TSMC process production capacity but a sudden increase in CoWoS production capacity, which is three times the usual capacity. The TSMC's production capacity will catch up with customer demand in about a year and a half. The current capacity bottleneck should be a short-term phenomenon. Liu asked observers to wait and see when he mentioned the progress of the TSMC's establishing its plant in the United States and the support that it has received from local government.
