生成式人工智慧硬體材料市場涵蓋用於建構人工智慧訓練和推理系統的材料和組件,從基板和氣體等原料到成品伺服器機架,應有盡有。市場需求主要受超大規模資料中心業者資料中心營運商、企業和政府對人工智慧資料中心的資本投資以及邊緣人工智慧運算佔有率不斷成長的推動。

系統性能受限於一系列物理約束,而非模型設計。計算吞吐量受限於光罩面積和電晶體密度。記憶體頻寬受限於HBM堆疊高度和引腳寬度。互連頻寬受限於銅線中的訊號衰減(每通道超過約224 Gbps)。散熱受限於熱界面導熱係數和冷卻液流速。電源受限於IR壓降和穩壓器效率。針對每項約束的進展都取決於特定材料和封裝技術的開發,因此決定了該層增強人工智慧運算能力的速度。

這個市場由九個層面構成:原料、氣體和光阻劑、功率半導體和電源、導熱材料和冷卻、光電封裝、基板和中介層、先進封裝、HBM 和儲存子系統、用於 AI 加速器的矽以及 AI 伺服器和機架。與之相關的,資料中心建造供應鏈作為一個獨立的細分市場,涵蓋電力基礎設施、冷卻設備、建築、工程服務等。

各細分市場的成長率差異顯著。用於人工智慧加速器的矽晶片是最大的細分市場,但其成長速度低於其他幾個細分市場。由於堆疊高度的增加以及CoWoS級封裝產能的持續緊張,預計HBM和先進封裝在預測期內的市場佔有率將有所成長。儘管基數較小,但用於資料中心的光電封裝和功率半導體將實現最快成長。這是因為共封裝光學元件正進入量產階段,且機架功率等級將超過300千瓦。冷卻方式正從風冷轉向直接液冷和浸沒式冷卻,到2030年,這兩種冷卻方式將佔新人工智慧部署的60%以上。

對供應商和買家而言,有兩個結構性特徵至關重要。首先是地域集中度。台灣、韓國和日本佔了最先進的矽晶片、記憶體、封裝、基板和特殊材料的大部分產能,其中CoWoS級封裝製程的產能限制最為嚴格。其次是出口限制的影響。這在中國催生了一條獨立的硬體供應鏈,擁有自己的供應商和製程節點限制。兩者之間的產能差距在小規模模型推理領域縮小速度最快,而在最先進的模型訓練領域縮小速度最慢。

第18章附錄

The generative AI hardware materials market covers the materials and components used to build AI training and inference systems, from raw substrates and gases through to finished server racks. Demand is driven by hyperscaler, enterprise and sovereign capital expenditure on AI datacentres, and by the growing share of AI compute performed at the edge.

System performance is limited by a set of physical constraints rather than by model design. Compute throughput is limited by reticle area and transistor density. Memory bandwidth is limited by HBM stack height and pin width. Interconnect bandwidth is limited by signal attenuation in copper traces above roughly 224 Gbps per lane. Heat removal is limited by thermal interface conductivity and coolant flow rate. Power delivery is limited by IR drop and voltage regulator efficiency. Progress against each constraint depends on a specific materials or packaging development, which is why this layer determines how quickly AI compute capacity can be added.

The market is structured in nine layers: raw materials, gases and photoresists; power semiconductors and delivery; thermal materials and cooling; photonics packaging; substrates and interposers; advanced packaging; HBM and the memory subsystem; AI accelerator silicon; and AI servers and racks. A related but separate segment is the datacentre construction supply chain, covering power infrastructure, cooling plant, buildings and engineering services.

Growth rates differ substantially by layer. AI accelerator silicon is the largest segment but grows more slowly than several of the layers below it. HBM and advanced packaging gain share over the forecast period, as stack heights increase and CoWoS-class packaging capacity remains tight. Photonics packaging and datacentre power semiconductors grow fastest from a smaller base, as co-packaged optics moves into volume production and rack power levels rise above 300 kW. Cooling shifts away from air: direct liquid cooling and immersion account for more than 60% of new AI deployments by 2030.

Two structural characteristics are relevant to suppliers and buyers. The first is geographic concentration. Taiwan, South Korea and Japan account for most leading-edge silicon, memory, packaging, substrate and specialty materials capacity, and CoWoS-class packaging is the most constrained single step. The second is the effect of export controls, which have led to a separate hardware supply chain in China with its own suppliers and process node limits. The capability gap between the two is narrowing fastest in small-model inference and slowest in frontier model training.

  • Executive summary - headline findings, the hardware bottleneck, value-chain map and implications by stakeholder
