In the field of modern science and technology, the importance of semiconductor chips is self-evident. Mastering advanced chip production technology will enable enterprises to have a higher voice in the field of science and technology. However, in order to maintain its technological hegemony, the United States has not only suppressed Chinese technology companies, but also issued many chip bans in an attempt to monopolize the chip market. Under pressure from the United States, TSMC and Samsung, the world's top chip production giants, turned to the United States to build factories. TSMC plans to invest $40 billion to build 5nm and 3nm fabs, while Samsung plans to invest $17 billion to build fabs. The U.S. seems to be aiming to treat the two companies as its own, but that's not the case.
1. TSMC's dilemma: revise the subsidy rules and hand over core data and materials.
TSMC is signing a contract with the United States, but the United States has revised the chip subsidy rules to require TSMC to hand over core data and materials. This made TSMC start thinking about its own market options. By handing over core technology and data, TSMC may weaken its competitiveness in the global market, so TSMC decided to change its strategy and set its sights on other markets.
2. Samsung's challenge: The U.S. technology blockade has limited development.
Samsung, as a representative company in South Korea, is also facing a technological blockade from the United States. Due to the restrictions on technology exchanges in certain fields in the United States, Samsung's development in the semiconductor industry has been limited to a certain extent. In order to overcome this dilemma, Samsung needs to strengthen its own R&D capabilities and launch more advanced products that meet the needs of customers.
1. Expand market share: The Chinese mainland market still has potential.
In the past years, Chinese mainland has been one of the important markets for TSMC and Samsung. With the vigorous development of China's semiconductor industry, the demand for high-end chips is growing. However, due to US restrictions, TSMC and Samsung's market share in Chinese mainland is gradually decreasing. However, China's ** increased support for the semiconductor industry, so that the Chinese mainland market still has great potential. TSMC and Samsung's competitors, such as SMIC and other companies, are also actively deploying the high-end chip market.
2. Strengthen international cooperation and exchanges: jointly promote the prosperity and development of the semiconductor industry.
In the era of globalization, economic ties and technological exchanges between countries are getting closer and closer. As leaders in the global semiconductor industry, TSMC and Samsung need to give full play to their technological advantages and market experience, actively participate in international cooperation and exchanges, and make greater contributions to the prosperity and development of the global semiconductor industry. By strengthening cooperation and exchanges, countries can achieve the goal of mutual benefit and win-win results, and jointly promote the development of the semiconductor industry.
Behind the "change of face" of TSMC and Samsung, there are complex interest games and market choices. In the face of U.S. restrictions and technology blockades, these two companies need to pay more attention to market demand and technological innovation, and continue to launch more advanced and more customer-oriented products in order to win more market share. At the same time, they must also face up to the importance of the Chinese mainland market, and only by seizing the mainland market can they be invincible in the market competition. It is also necessary to strengthen cooperation with other countries, and only through cooperation and exchanges can all parties achieve the goal of common prosperity. In the competition in the global semiconductor market, TSMC and Samsung need to be flexible, constantly adjust their strategies, and find a path suitable for their own development. Only by maintaining keen insight and innovation ability in the face of market changes can these two companies remain invincible and make a positive contribution to the development of the global semiconductor industry.
