Semiconductors manufacturing moved to other countries for production is not a correct narration. It is the result of market competition. The United States cannot produce advanced chips, yet Low-end chips with mature processes have low yields, resulting in high costs. So, regions with more advanced technologies will dominate chip production. Before 2004, the U.S. led the world in semiconductor technology, and foundries had to pay IBM's technology licensing fees. But in 2004, TSMC took the lead in developing 0.13-micron copper process technology ahead of IBM, ushering in the era of Taiwan's semiconductor technology leading the world. In 2014, IBM withdrew from the foundry business, and TSMC considered buying IBM's fab in New York State. However, even though IBM's technology is a decade behind Taiwan, the U.S. Department of Defense and IBM, still concerned that the flow of U.S. technology to Taiwan has subsided, rejected the deal. High-tech semiconductor technology is the result of Taiwan's efforts to develop, and now the United States claims to "bring back" semiconductor production to the United States.
