Determined to leave the mainland? TSMC officially announced the construction of a factory in Japan
Is this ironic? TSMC officially announced that the Japanese factory will officially start on the 24th of this month.
After the advent of Huawei 5G, the United States has re-examined Chinese technology, and then in order to defend its own"Technological supremacy", to any Chinese enterprises do not dare to take lightly, adopted a series"Special attention"As a result, the cooperation between Chinese and American companies has been ruined. As a result, the partnership between Chinese and American companies has also broken down.
Huawei's 5nm Kirin 9000 chip made its debut in the world, which put a lot of pressure on the United States and had to work chip rules, until the United States banned cooperation with Chinese companies, and TSMC was also forced to break off cooperation with Huawei's second largest customer.
Later, TSMC fell into the trap of the "Biden team", in order to better capture American customers, they had to agree to TSMC to build a factory in the United States, and at the 5 nm chip factory relocation ceremony, a number of technology giants were invited, giving people a feeling of being very valued.
Biden agreed and agreed to invest $40 billion in the 3 nm process, which is what Biden said at the meeting as "the return of China's manufacturing industry", and it is also his attitude.
Since then, TSMC has been in"Nightmares"among them. Not only did it not receive the promised subsidy, but it was forced to accept many unreasonable demands, hand over a large amount of core data, and could lose its core technology at any time.
Now, TSMC has finally woken up, and its U.S.-based chief executive, Liu Deyin, has announced that he will retire in 2024, as if announcing a launch"**"Similarly, the 5 nm plant in the United States will have to be delayed by a year before it can be put into production, let alone the 3 nm process.
The factory he built in Arizona was jokingly called"Face engineering", worth 40 billion US dollars, the Wei Zhe family is directly in charge of the company's operations, and Liu Deyin is younger than him, which shows his importance.
According to relevant sources, TSMC's Kumamoto factory in Japan will start on February 24, when Zhang Zhongmou and Wei Zhejia and others will attend.
The Japanese fab was officially put into production in April 2022 and October last year, followed by wafers from 12 nm to 28 nm, and production after the grand opening in the fourth quarter of this year.
According to market reports, TSMC is considering building a second factory in Japan, possibly in Kikuyo City, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, which makes people wonder if TSMC will abandon the Chinese mainland market.
In fact, TSMC is not giving up on the mainland market, but at present, the United States has exempted the mainland market from whether to continue to ban cloud locomotives, but it is not sure about the weather limit, and American technology is still in the hands of Biden's team, which cannot be changed.
The Japanese market is the best choice, because they have a complete ** chain, and they can even push their products to Asia, while the demand for chips in Japan is not large, and they can completely occupy the Chinese market, how can this be good?
