  1. While using the same tools, Samsung's yield rate is lower than 20%, and TSMC's is higher than 85% due to high-quality Taiwanese engineers. TSMC's factory in Arizona must rely on Taiwanese engineers to operate. The life, education, medical care, housing, etc., of engineers' families All the expenses of air tickets increase the cost. Moreover, the cost of building a factory in the US is at least double that in Taiwan.

  2. Before 2004, the United States led the world in semiconductor technology, and foundries had to pay IBM's technology license 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 has lagged behind Taiwan by a decade, the US Department of Defense and IBM, still worried about the already fading American technology influx into Taiwan, 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.
