TSMC is one of the top 10 largest companies in the world, and Nvidia, founded by Taiwanese, is one of the top three. No company in Europe, Japan, or South Korea is among the top 10.

@misterbig9025 The tools you use to access the Internet must contain Taiwanese chips. You can raise pigeons to send messages, but stop using Taiwan’s technology.

Japan and South Korea produce low-tech, mass-produced storage semiconductors, while Taiwan produces customized logic semiconductors, which are entirely different semiconductors from memory. After Japan withdrew from memory production, South Korea took over. This has nothing to do with Taiwan. Japan is a big country in storage semiconductors and does not produce logic semiconductors. After Intel lost memory chips to Japan, it switched to producing CPU logic semiconductors, making Intel the dominant player.

Taiwan has US$600 billion in foreign exchange reserves and US$3 trillion in overseas investments. If Taiwan is not a country. Your country can only be called a tribe because it does not have the strength of a state.

@天天開心-c4g EUV微影設備的開發需要在實際量產環境中進行測試和調整。 ASML 在台積電位於新竹的 12B 研發設施中共同開發光刻機。台積電利用數百萬片晶圓、數十億美元及其濕蝕刻技術完成了 EUV 製造。

The United States is the world's largest chip designer, and Taiwan is the second largest.

In 1976, ITRI spent $ 10 million to purchase 7-micron (7,000-nanometer) chip technology from RCA in the United States. 7000-nanometer chip technology was already considered outdated at the time. In 1982, ITRI invested 10 times the funds to carry out the ultra-large integrated circuit plan. It took five years to independently develop 3000-nanometer technology. After success, TSMC was established in 1987. Taiwan initially purchased outdated chip technology from RCA, and then relied on its engineers to develop it. The so-called technical assistance from the United States is simply nonsense.

@bctvanw Taiwan's aboriginal people only account for 2.5% of the population. Almost all of Taiwan's high-tech companies were founded by the old Chinese who retreated from China. TSMC, UMC, FOXCONN, and many other high-tech companies are almost all from other provinces in China. You don’t know anything about Taiwan. I assisted Taiwan Semiconductor in raising funds in 1987.

During World War II, Taiwan was a substantial military base for Japan, and the U.S. military carried out intensive bombings. All Japanese colonial railways, road construction, and economy were entirely destroyed by American bombing. After World War II, Taiwan did not even have an inch of railway. The construction during the Japanese colonial period has nothing to do with Taiwan's economic miracle. It was the ten major construction projects carried out in the 1960s, 15 years after World War II, that truly paved the way for Taiwan's economic miracle, leaving a lasting impression on the island's history.

Only Han, don't use the word Chinese

Chinese bot, Taiwan's economic growth in the first quarter was 6.51%, an 11-year high, much higher than China. TSMC’s 2nm chips have not yet been launched; orders are already full until 2027. Taiwan is the biggest beneficiary of AI.

@bctvanw Not consistent with the facts.

@bctvanw Tsai Ing-wen is just a politician. When Taiwan began its industrial transformation in the 1980s, she was still a student—. She majored in politics, and intelligent people in Taiwan studied medicine and science. Tsai Ing-wen has nothing to do with Taiwan's high technology.

The United States is the world's largest chip designer, and Taiwan is the second largest. You don't have enough knowledge to express your unfounded and dull opinions.

@bctvanw The retreating Chinese almost entirely created Taiwan's high technology. TSMC, UMC, and FOXCONN, you have not contributed to Taiwan at all.
5
@愛睡覺-k7u Yes, you are correct; all the companies have nothing to do with China, but I am saying those founders were from China. None of tsmc, UMC, and Foxconn are native Taiwanese. Your family must be Taiwanese, born and raised in Taiwan hundreds of years ago!

My annual salary in 1988 was US$40,000, right after I graduated from school, while my son just finished school recently, and his salary was US$85,000. What is your salary? Can you afford a motorcycle? The price of a bike in Taiwan is only US$3,000.

The development of EUV lithography equipment requires testing and adjustment in an actual mass-production environment. ASML co-develops lithography machines at TSMC’s 12B R&D facility in Hsinchu. TSMC has used millions of wafers, billions of dollars, and its wet etching technology to develop EUV successfully.

@phamnam8282 No, no one wants to be with China. With a population of 1.4 billion, no single Nobel Prize winner in science exists. The Chinese did not invent electricity, mobile phones, the Internet, chips, or artificial intelligence, which are crucial to human civilization. However, the biggest threat to the world is this country, which only commits plagiarism and makes no contribution to humanity. The Chinese flag has never flown in Taiwan’s airspace, and China has never ruled Taiwan. The Chinese believe that Taiwan is a province of China. Is this a problem with education or IQ?

@大的小萝卜無知又蠢的中國人。2002年，尼康和佳能兩家日本公司壟斷了世界光刻機市場。當時，ASML還是一家小公司，靠著台積電的訂單生存。英特爾成立EUV LCC聯盟，採用美國乾式開發微影機，搶占美國微影機技術。摩托羅拉、AMD、IBM等主要廠商被允許加入該聯盟，但台積電被排除在EUV LCC聯盟之外。隨後，台積電與ASML合作，採用台積電開發的浸沒式微影技術，在位於台灣新竹科學園區的台積電研發總部F12B進行研發。當時全球有兩家EUV研發單位，但英特爾的EUV LCC聯盟失敗了。台積電花費100萬片晶圓在F12b工廠進行測試，最終成功打造出製造先進晶片的EUV。台積電納米影像技術開發部總監 Anthony Yen 博士，後來擔任 ASML 研發副總裁 https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECE/Alums/OECE/2018/anthony-yen 美國在現代EUV的研發階段沒有投入一分錢，也沒有任何美國工程師參與研發。浸沒式光刻技術是台積電的技術，為全球半導體產業和台積電的先進製造流程做出了重大貢獻，也讓台積電在55nm節點之後跳躍了六代技術。

@SalesManual Two Taiwanese companies are among the world's ten largest companies, and the others are all American companies except for the Saudi Arab Oil Company. If your country is not the United States, it is Saudi Arabia. Otherwise, how dare you have no sense of shame.

Even if EUV is purchased, advanced chips cannot be mass-produced with a high yield rate. EUV uses TSMC's wet technology and is developed at F12b, TSMC's Hsinchu headquarters. TSMC modified the purchased EUV and redesigned the reflective structure to increase the reflectivity from 2% to 3% and increase the efficiency by 50%. TSMC's dry EUV mask cleaning technology reduces exposure to dust particles from hundreds to single digits per 10,000 wafers, a 99% reduction in dust ratios. ASML's latest EUV light source output power is 350W, but TSMC has begun using its own improved 350W EUV in 2020.

@planesrift The United States allows it. What nonsense are you talking about? The United States not only betrayed Taiwan twice in the 1970s but also suppressed Taiwan in this decades-long high-tech competition. In 2002, two Japanese companies, Nikon and Canon, monopolized the world's photolithography machine market. At that time, ASML was still a tiny company, relying on orders from TSMC to survive. Intel established the EUV LCC Alliance to use American dry-type photolithography machines to seize American photolithography machine technology. Major manufacturers such as Motorola, AMD, and IBM were allowed to join the alliance, but TSMC was excluded from the EUV LCC alliance. Subsequently, TSMC cooperated with ASML and used its immersion lithography technology to conduct research and development at F12B, the TSMC R&D headquarters located in Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan. At that time, there were two EUV R&D units in the world, but Intel's EUV LCC alliance failed. TSMC spent 1 million wafers for testing at the F12b factory and finally successfully created EUV for manufacturing advanced chips. Dr. Anthony Yen, Director of Nanoimaging Technology Development at TSMC, later served as Vice President of R&D at ASML https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECE/Alums/OECE/2018/anthony-yen The United States did not invest a penny in the research and development stage of modern EUV, and no American engineers participated in the research and development. Immersion lithography technology is TSMC's technology and has made significant contributions to the global semiconductor industry and TSMC's advanced manufacturing processes. It has also allowed TSMC to jump six generations of technology after the 55nm node.

Intel, the largest semiconductor company in the United States, has been producing chips since 1968, but it still cannot produce modern chips. Intel recently signed a chip purchase agreement with TSMC worth nearly $40 billion. However, Intel lost $7.7 billion last year and more than $10 billion this year. Developed countries like the United States and Europe cannot produce advanced chips. Can the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Russia, which are exceptionally technologically backward, surpass the United States and Europe?

@大的小萝卜英特爾、三星買了不少光刻機，英特爾甚至把今年的10台幾乎全買，那麼英特爾為什麼仍然無法生產先進晶片? 是英特爾太笨，還是你太笨? 吃幾年飽魬就自大了嗎?

@leapdrive This is not true; it’s ridiculous. After the United States sold Taiwan 3700 nanometer technology, Taiwan relied on its scientists to overcome all technical difficulties. TSMC’s technology mainly relies on six scientists, four of whom are graduates of National Taiwan University. The United States has no advanced chip technology. How can it assist Taiwan in advanced chip research and development?

Taiwan’s Foxconn revenue is 3.5 times larger than Costa Rica’s GDP. TSMC’s surplus this year is approximately US$51.4 billion, almost equal to Costa Rica's GDP. Taiwan also has several companies worth tens of billions of dollars. Taiwan's GDP is approximately 15 times that of Costa Rica. You should make up a more convincing lie; otherwise, people will laugh at your intelligence.

IBM's technology was inferior, which led to UMC, a company that purchased IBM's technology, only to be surpassed by TSMC.

But the price is also lower than that in both countries mentioned. That's why Taiwan's PPP income is about $70000

Pat Gelsinger incorrectly attributes Intel's lag behind TSMC to adopting more advanced EUV later than TSMC. In 2017, TSMC did not use advanced EUV to develop 7-nanometer wafers; instead, it used DUV. Samsung has invested heavily in taking the lead in using EUV to create 7-nanometer chips, announcing that Samsung’s market share will reach 25% in 2022. As a result, Samsung’s market share in the third quarter of 2023 was only 13%. TSMC's market share has grown from 50.6% in 2017 to 60% in the third quarter of 2023, and the gap between the two sides is getting broader. China also did not use EUV in 2023 but completed the development of 7-nanometer wafers. Intel was the first to acquire High NA EUV last year and, in 2024, purchased 6 of all 10 High NA EUV machines produced by ASML. Intel's intention to purchase large quantities of state-of-the-art equipment in 2017 is the same as Samsung's. However, although advanced equipment is indispensable, there are more important things. Intel and Samsung are facing huge losses because of backward R&D technology. The chip density of Intel 18A is only as high as TSMC’s 3~5nm chip density, and the density of Samsung’s 2nm chip is only as high as Taipower’s 5~7nm technology level. However, Both Intel and Samsung have failed in their lagging chip production.

Samsung renamed 3nm to 2nm in March 2024. Samsung’s 2nm transistor density is 170 million/mm square, and TSMC’s 5nm transistor density is 173 million/mm square. Samsung’s 2nm is even worse than TSMC’s 5nm and is only equivalent to TSMC’s 5nm to 7nm. Intel's 18A transistor's density is estimated to be about 195 million/mm square, slightly higher than TSMC's 5nm and far lower than TSMC's 3 nm's 290 million/mm square. Regarding transistor density, Samsung's most advanced technology is close to TSMC's 5nm chip technology, and Intel's most advanced technology slightly exceeds TSMC's 5nm technology. However, the most advanced technologies announced by Samsung and Intel are only laboratory technologies and cannot be mass-produced. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/samsung-foundry-renames-3nm-process-technology-to-2nm-production-node-following-industry-trends-report

However, KMT established Taiwan's high-tech, and the slogan was "replacing labor with brain power." The retreated Chinese brought by KMT almost established Taiwan's entire high-tech industry, including TSMC, UMC, and FOXCONN. When high-tech was established, Taiwan did not have a DPP.

@qubit0002 There were Chinese then. The initial CCP country was named soviet China; it is not China.

@bctvanw At that time, the Taiwanese were all serfs, and three landlords controlled all the land in Taiwan. You don’t even have food, so how could you share? Do you remember the 375 rent reduction land reform? I'm unsurprised that you have not contributed to Taiwan's high technology. Ask your grandparents, are they literate? Or have you ever gone to school? If Taiwanese people are as ignorant as you, Taiwan must still be an agricultural society. There must be limits to nonsense.

Jensen Huang founded NVIDIA in 1993. At that time, no American company was willing to produce chips for a newly established IC design factory. Around 1995, only 32 years old, Jensen Huang wrote to Morris Chang asking whether TSMC could produce Nvidia's first chip. After Morris Chang received the letter, he called Nvidia personally. It happened that Jensen Huang received the call. When he heard Morris Chang introducing himself, "I'm Morris Chang," he immediately shouted to the side: "Shh! Be quiet! It's Morris Chang calling." This phone call became the beginning of the cooperation between the two companies. https://youtu.be/TqE9K53PoYg?si=QbutoA1hd4ApJVQS

@touranomuut The United States does not have troops stationed in Taiwan, so how does the United States help Taiwan? 1995 no U.S. chip factory was willing to help Nvidia manufacture chips. In 2007, Intel CEO Paul Otellini refused to contract iPhone chips for Steve Jobs. They all turned to TSMC for help. TSMC decided to help these small companies manufacture chips, and now they are the two most prominent companies in the United States with a market capitalization of more than $7 trillion. With Taiwan's help, the U.S. economy is able to perform as well as it does.

Memory and logic semiconductors are both semiconductors. The difference between them is like that between a bicycle and a car. Both have tires, but they are very different. Memory is a commodity, while logic semiconductors are tailor-made. There is a world of difference between the two. In the 1980s, Japan produced memory with relatively simple production technology, not logic semiconductors with complex technology. This YouTuber does not understand semiconductor technology, so he is talking nonsense.

@happymelon7129 If it is a "labor camp" you are in a "slave camp" because you make a lot less than work in TSMC, and you lack basic knowledge, Taiwan is the second largest chip designers globally, Taiwan is the only country making advanced chip plus design chip. You are living in a backward slavery country for sure.

This year, Foxconn’s revenue exceeded US$200 billion, and TSMC’s exceeded US$90 billion. The revenue of these two Taiwanese companies is almost equivalent to the GDP of the Philippines. The more advanced the semiconductor factory, the more expensive it becomes. TSMC’s Hsinchu 2nm factory has a total investment of US$125 billion. As the demand for 2nm AI chips exceeded expectations, TSMC built another 2nm factory in Kaohsiung, totaling approximately $300 billion. Even the United States is unable to make such a huge investment. How does the Philippines have this ability? TSMC has invested $65 billion in Arizona, but half of Arizona's engineers are from Taiwan because the United States lacks semiconductor engineers. All the semiconductor talents in the world are in Taiwan. How did the Philippines become a semiconductor powerhouse? The Philippines lacks funds and talents and cannot become a semiconductor power. Joining Taiwan's semiconductor supply chain is the only way for the Philippines to join the world's semiconductor family. Among the top 10 companies in the world, TSMC is the only manufacturing company with a market value of more than US$1.1 trillion. The other eight are American software companies, such as Apple and Microsoft. Saudi Arabian Oil Co. also made the top ten. There are no companies from Europe, Japan, or South Korea among the top 10. However, Nvidia, founded by Taiwanese, has a market value of more than US$3 trillion and is the second largest company in the world. TSMC is the eighth largest company in the world.
