Mi Yujie: From the beginning, we participated in the NTIV NVIDIA cooperation and witnessed the two parties entering the tighter stage
Before the theme speech of the executive director of COMPUTEX Taipei NVIDIA (NVIDIA) this year, Taiwan Electric Corporation's joint operation chief Mi Yujie said that NVIDIA and Taiwan Electric Corporation's cooperation relationship not only have a long history, but is also extremely unique. In addition to sharing the same background, they both have high requirements for quality, laying the foundation for the successful cooperation between the two parties.
Mi Yujie was interviewed by the event host of NVIDIA, saying that deep cooperation began at the key moment, in 1997. Taiwan Electric Power founder Zhang Zhong, contacted NVIDIA founder Huang Renqian in response to NVIDIA's OEM service requirements. After initial contact, the two parties continued to cooperate to cultivate very in-depth and lasting partnerships.
In the early stages of cooperation, Telco began to manufacture products for NVIDIA. NVIDIA's first product was REVERB 128, and the early products were manufactured in Telco's new factory area. Corn Jade is responsible for the quality and yield of the product. This shows that NTU invested a high degree of attention and professional management in the manufacturing of NVIDIA products in the early stages of its cooperation.
From 1997 and until 2017, NTU had delivered more than 6 million (6 million) films to NVIDIA. Although this number continues to grow, the new specific numbers cannot be disclosed because it is not public information. However, it is easy to see that Telco and NVIDIA will grow together. Telco is excited about NVIDIA's outstanding achievements and has a surprising impact as NVIDIA becomes a leader in global enterprises. Mi Yujie pointed out that he himself joined NTU in 1997 and was very excited to be able to witness and participate in this legendary and amazing cooperation with NVIDIA.
Mi Yujie said he has been primarily in contact with Joe Greco, deputy president of the NVIDIA Advanced Technology team. They start with the technology of designing 28 nanometers. Since then, both parties have conducted in-depth cooperation on the technical team level, and then to the current 3 nm, and to the future 2 nm technology. Therefore, during this cooperation process, the model of technical cooperation has changed significantly. At first, the main contact was with NVIDIA staff.
In addition, the technical cooperation between the two parties is not only limited to the promotion of process stages, but also includes the use of state-of-the-art technology and advanced packaging technology. This includes COWAS and SOIC 3D die stacking technology. This shows that the cooperation between the two parties has expanded beyond the wafer manufacturing and covers a more complex advanced packaging field.
Missage further pointed out that in fact, NVIDIA's products are described as always extremely challenging. Because they usually have large die sizes, it is very difficult to manufacture. This product requires the highest quality and yield. This puts high demands on the manufacturing capacity of Telco, and Telco successfully faces these challenges with its proficiency and attention. For large customers like NVIDIA, NTD has demonstrated its professional capabilities in basic design.
Therefore, the cooperation model of both parties has undergone significant changes. At first, the two parties were just a cooperative team to carry out corporate design cooperation. Now, technical cooperation has become very in-depth. This in-depth cooperation now has many aspects, including two parties interacting, developing together, and realizing the productization of specialty products. The scope of cooperation has also expanded from a simple design to a more closely interactive relationship with manufacturing design, and even covers the entire process. This shows that the two parties have changed from relatively independent design and manufacturing relationships in the past to a tight partner relationship that is highly integrated and jointly optimized manufacturing process to meet product needs.
Therefore, from the perspective of TEK, it is necessary to provide correct technology at the right time and at the right value. NVIDIA's biggest strength lies in its ability to integrate everything, especially bringing all elements together in a timely market. Through years of interaction, both sides have established mutual trust and are able to complete various tasks together. This allows them to react quickly and quickly realize market interaction. This ability to quickly respond and realize market goals is the key to the success of both parties in cooperation.
