  1. In 2002, two Japanese companies, Nikon and Canon, monopolized the world's photolithography machine market. At that time, ASML was still a small 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 are allowed to join the alliance, but TSMC is excluded from the EUV LCC alliance. Subsequently, TSMC cooperated with ASML and used the immersion lithography technology developed by TSMC 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

  2. Please explain why Koreans and Japanese, whose work attitudes are similar to those in Taiwan, cannot manufacture advanced chips.

  3. You don't know enough about semiconductors. You exaggerate the role of the United States, of course, because you are an American.
