  1.  @SeoWoojin55  There are so many kind of chips, storage and logic chips, but the kind of chips leads to car industry stoppages is logic chip. Logic chips are used in GPU, CPU, Mobile phone and car industry, 70% of these logic chips are made in Taiwan especially advanced chips like 5nm last year and 3nm later this year, logic chip is what used in F-35 or space project. South Korea produces most of the storage chips, it's different

  2.  @user78405  Taiwan is the fifth largest net creditor country with 1.37 trillion invested in other countries, the foreign reserve in Taiwan more than 500 bn, Taiwan has only 200 bn debt, how can a country with 2 trillion on hand and 200 bn debt go bankrupt?

  3.  @spydude38  We have no lab in the US. P8 completes a few months later in Hsin Chu, 8000 scientists are working there. 3 nm has already try run from early May.

  5.  @tomservo5007 Do you even know how many R&D guys and how many chained suppliers are involved? Less than 10% of the technology of 5 nm has relation to the US technology; for 3 nm, the link is even lesser; by the time TSMC producing a 1 nm chip, 100% of technology will have nothing to do with the US.

  6.  @nukezat , the wet etching in lithography was developed by Burn. J. Lin, the deputy general manager of TSMC, which makes ASML surpass Nikon and Cannon, Taiwanese, contributed many breakthroughs in chip technology. EUV was developed in F12 of TSMC; an Engineer from TSMC is still in charge of the research in ASML.

  7.  @thejeffinvade  The way to make smaller chips like FINFET was invented by Dr. Chengmin Hu from Taiwan; the wet etching in lithography was developed by Burn. J. Lin, the deputy general manager of TSMC, which makes ASML surpass Nikon and Cannon, Taiwanese, contributed many breakthroughs in chip technology. EUV was developed in F12 of TSMC; Engineers from TSMC are still in charge of the research in ASML.

  8.  @TheBooban  Net profit of TSMC has estimated at around 30 bn this year, and the growth rate is about 20%.

  9.  @ClockworksOfGL , The chip manufacturing in TSMC, has only 10% using technologies from the US. The ban on selling to Huawei is causing TSMC to lose 20 billion business from China per year; Huawei is a client of the same size as Apple. By the time TSMC makes 2 nm, all technologies will have nothing to do with the US. When TSMC starts selling to China, TSMC is booming again.

  10.  @tooltalk  What kind of protection are you mentioning? The US protects its semi industry by using political power. That is why Japan fall from dominating the chip industry, almost zero chip production in Japan now

  11.  @mycelia_ow  Subsidy from Taiwan? Are you kidding? What a lie
    3
  12. It never started in the US. So why is the saying "bring it back" mean?

  13.  @torpedospurs  If Huawei still can buy from TSMC, Apple will be taking up a much smaller percentage.

  14. it's not possible, it's not conventional products, we have over 1300 companies to work with TSMC to make chip, how can you move all supply chain to many areas, and this will make the cost to extremely high
    2
  15. Very true.

  16. 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.

  17.  @bin.s.s. TSMC lost 10 billion yearly of US sanctions to Hwawei, as Hwawei is TSMC.s second largest customer.

  19. ​ @naruto6918  Less than 10% of TSMC's 5 nm chips is related to American technologies, even less in 3 nm.

  20.  @Bruceillest101  My family retreated from China after Second World War, we ruled China before 1949, my family served in ancient China as government official for over 500 years, KMT has retreated most of scientists and gold from China, TSMS, UMC...all high tech companies in Taiwan are built by those smartest retreated Chinese, we fought with US not PRC, PRC was founded 4 years after World War II, in Taiwan we have Martyr's shrine to memorize 2 millions soldiers died to protect our country when Japan invaded China back then, current China has nothing to do with World War II, they don't have any shrine to memorize soldiers sacrificed in the war, but they celebrate the victory, it's funny, communists attacked us during the war , they helped Japanese in military action, that's why, before war, red army had only 50000 soldiers, after war, red army soldiers number jumped to 2 millions

  21. Samsung 5 nm is equivalent to 7 nm from TSMC

  22. If Intel is doing so well, why is Intel ordering over 10 bn from TSMC?

  23.  @SWAGKINGSBD  China is tearing down churches now.

  24. You are correct.

  25.  @awesomegmg956  The United States accounts for about 70% of the software market, and Taiwan accounts for about 21%. Taiwan's software companies are world-renowned, such as Mediatek.

  26.  @tedmoss  It's true. Everybody knows this.
    1
  27.  @mycelia_ow  There has been no massive subsidy to TSMC; it's made up by Intel to convince the government to give them money.

  28. The US has no cutting-edge chip technology.

  29. perseverance rover and F-35 and many military equipment are using logic chip from Taiwan, you stop buying, China will be happy to see that

  30. TSMC has been making 3 nm since early this year. However, the news has not been formally released yet. What is more, Samsung said to make 3 nm in 2022.

  31. TSMC, Foxconn, and almost all high technology in Taiwan were created by the descendants of Chinese refugees in 1949; if they leave Taiwan, what value do you Taiwanese have?

  32. It's a Lab stuff, IBM is bragging, TSMC no doubt has 2 nm in the lab, but lab to the production line is a way long distance
    1
  33.  @gichirou7018  TSMC started making 3 nm early this year for X(can't name it) company, mass production(over 100000 wafers per month) will be in the latter half of 2022.

  34. If not for TSMC and Foxconn, Apple wouldn't be where it is now. Face ID, Touch Screen technologies are all provided by TSMC and Foxconn.

  35. TSMC uses less than 10 % of technologies from the US; by the time TSMC makes 2 nm, 100% of technologies will have nothing to do with the US. TSMC can start selling cutting-edge chips to China, TSMC will boom again, yes, you can force TSMC to deliver data, but you will regret it later. Deeply regret.
    1
  36. That is why Taiwan can't trust the US. TSMC should work faster to develop 100% of its own technologies; by the time TSMC makes 2 nm, all technologies will have nothing to do with the US, the sanction has caused TSMC to lose 20 bn business from China, Tsmc will be booming when selling 2 nm chips to China.

  37. TSMC has set up a factory in the United States and imported 5,000 containers from Taiwan. After that, it must import chemicals from Taiwan every year, creating a trade deficit between the United States and Taiwan. The Taiwanese government should ban Taiwanese industries from setting up factories in the United States because Taiwanese manufacturers in the United States import goods from Taiwan, which has led to a surge in U.S. imports from Taiwan. The abominable Trump clamored to punish Taiwan for this reason. Taiwan should distance itself from the evil United States.

  38. The wet etching in lithography was developed by Burn. J. Lin, the deputy general manager of TSMC, which makes ASML surpass Nikon and Cannon, Taiwanese, contributed many breakthroughs in chip technology. EUV was developed in F12 of TSMC; Engineers from TSMC are still in charge of the research in ASML.

  39. That is why TSMC should fast develop its own technology to make the chip. Now TSMC uses 10 % of US technologies. By the time TSMC makes 2 nm, there will not be any technologies from the US; TSMC can start selling chips to China then, the sanction to Huawei and other China companies has caused TSMC to lose 20 billion per year.

  40.  @aniketbhanderi6545  The US technologies are lab technologies with a low yield rate lower than 50%, and tsmc technologies are more advanced with a 95% yield rate. so-called cheap manufacturing is because the US is no longer advanced.
    1
  41. 3 nm already on production in May.

  42. It's too complicated; there are thousands of manufacturing steps. TSMC will let any American sit in the cleanroom, but they still can't understand the whole procedure; chip manufacturing is not easy.
    1
  43. China can't produce advanced chip, US block Huawei, TSMC stop providing chip to Huawei, Huawei is turning to pig farm project last week, shortage is because 5G needs 35% more chips, electric car need more chips, when device getting more and more intelligent, more chips will be needed, but set up factory will need two years, and the cost to build one such factory is now over 10 billion

  44. TSMC is the only company that can manufacture AI chips, so where do you suggest Nvidia get AI chips from?
    1
  45. The 5 nm technology has less than 10% relates to the US. The 3 nm chip has an even lesser connection with any US technology. So we can foresee 1 nm will be like 100% technology from Taiwan.

  46. @anonymous one Tell Intel to withdraw the 10 bn deal from TSMC. Since Intel is doing so well.
    1
  47. Definitely, it is due to the yield rate of TSMC being double of its competitors.

  48.  @frenchonion4595  TSMC's capital expenditure this year is 44 billion US dollars. For capital-intensive industries, labor costs are simply insignificant. You lack even basic common sense.
