Phoenix City, Arizona, is an important day for the United States on December 6, because this day, the US President Biden went to invest in TSMC to invest in a factory.
The local crown is gathered, and the participants have the Minister of Commerce Raymond. She also asked Japan to design, develop, produce, and operate chips to be designed, developed, produce, and operate chips to US officials in 2021.
Another heavy -level VIP is Cook CEO of Apple Computer. In addition to praising the contribution of Zhang Zhongmou, the founder of Tenko Tower, he especially emphasized that Apple will work closely with TSMC.
Bynden delivered a speech, the excitement was overwhelming, and it stressed loudly that "the manufacturing industry in the United States is back."
His sentence is not a bragging. In the 1970s, under the leadership of Jiang Jingguo, Taiwan cooperated with the United States to introduce funds and chip production technology from the United States.Essence
Zhang Zhongmou's speech made many people listen inexplicable because different from the previous speeches that he said that this time he said what the US factories wanted to do decades ago, and now finally achieved their dreams.
Zhang Zhongmou's dream of chasing dreams just echoed before and after the press conference of Sun Xiaoya, the director of Taipei in the Taiwan Association in the Taiwan Association, echoing the press conference after the nine -in -one election.At that time, Sun Xiaoya said that TSMC had taken the initiative to invest in the United States. However, in the past many speeches, Zhang Zhongmou said that he went to the United States to invest in the United States.
There is only one truth.
After investing in a factory in the United States, TSMC is expected to produce 5 nanometer wafers and 20,000 tablets in two years. TSMC in Taiwan can mass production of 5 nanometer chips per year.
The United States hopes that the part of TSMC in Taiwan can be reduced to less than 50%of the total output.Therefore, TSMC can theoretically enjoy a certain advantage in theory.
However, from this time TSMC will temporarily increase the investment from 16 billion US dollars (about S $ 21.5 billion) to $ 40 billion (about S $ 53.8 billion), showing that the United States will use various methods to improve the US manufacturing crystal in the future.The speed and amplitude of the circle.
First of all, the United States can use various methods to pressure TSMC to increase the amount of investment in the United States to accelerate TSMC's total production in the United States.
Secondly, TSMC will set up a second factory in 2024 to take the production of 3 nanometer chips as its main goal. It is expected that a total of six factories will be invested in Arizona.
Third, Intel Corporation can attract TSMC talents through high salaries and preferential benefits to improve the manufacturing capabilities and speed of American chips by digging.
Fourth, the U.S. government may continue to put pressure on TSMC, requiring TSMC to continue to move out of Taiwan to achieve the goal of hollowing out TSMC and strengthening the capacity of wafer manufacturing in the United States.
The chip is also one of the most important strategic materials in the world now. Taiwan has such important chips in hand, but I do n’t know how to negotiate with the United States, or even fight for more benefits for TSMC employees. It can also be said to be extremely incompetent.EssenceThe Cai Yingwen government claims to be the most communicated government, but it will not strive for more preferential treatment for TSMC.
