Throwing money around, TSMC voluntarily "carved up"?However, in Chinese mainland, there is not much distribution
As we all know, TSMC is the world's best chip foundry, it occupies 60% of the world's chip share, and TSMC accounts for 90% of chips below 7 nanometers. Apple, Qualcomm, AMD, NVIDIA, Broadcom, and other American companies rely on TSMC.
Therefore, it can be said that TSMC alone has dominated the global integrated circuit industry.
For the United States, this situation, of course, is not desirable, so from the very beginning, the United States thought"Split"TSMC, let TSMC build a factory in the United States.
However, TSMC was politely rejected before, and it was not until 2020 that TSMC reluctantly reached an agreement with the United States to invest $12 billion to build a 5nm chip factory, but later, TSMC thought that it was to open up anyway, so simply build more, and then count the $40 billion investment to build a 3nm wafer factory.
Many believe that the United States began"**"TSMC, after all, in order to build a factory in the United States, TSMC sent engineers to the United States, brought advanced technology to the United States, and also brought in some ** chain companies.
Unexpectedly, the construction of a factory in the United States was just a beginning for TSMC, and TSMC began the process of global minting casually, not only in the United States, but also in Germany and Japan, with an investment of tens of billions of dollars.
Many industry insiders have said that TSMC is actually actively seeking"Spin-offs", to disperse their technology and so on all over the world to ensure greater stability, so that the United States cannot control it.
TSMC has distributed its factories in Germany, Japan, the United States and other places, which is more dispersed, and in the face of the current tense geopolitical situation, it is more secure, and if it only builds factories in the United States, it will be more passive.
However, TSMC is currently building a factory in the United States, which should be the most advanced except for Taiwan, after all, it is planned to be 5nm and 3nm. Like Germany, Japan's craftsmanship is relatively backward.
As for Chinese mainland, it is mainly 28nm, as a mature chip, according to the current rules of the United States, TSMC will expand production in Chinese mainland in the future, it is not easy.
It can be seen that TSMC has indeed been slow to stay in the United States, Japan, and Europe"Get a piece of the pie", and TSMC took the initiative to do it, for its own safety.
I just don't know, after Chinese mainland came out, it was also divided?After all, TSMC only has a 28nm factory in Chinese mainland, which is relatively late.
