U.S. media reports that Taiwan engineers have become TSMC the world into the world globally globally globally globally worldwideThe foundation giants laid the foundation, but under the trend of a sudden decline in Taiwan ’s birth rate, talents are scarce, and talents are lacking in their interest in investing in the semiconductor industry. I am afraid that TSMC will shake TSMC's leading position in the world.
According to the New York Times on Thursday (May 11), when the 31 -year -old engineer Li surnamed Li worked at TSMC, he worked for a 48 -hour work for computer virus paralyzed machines to solve the problem.Over the years, he has been standing and standing overnight, but in 2021, after five years of running, he has begun to fear that the phone ringtone sounds.Although the salary of 3.2 million yuan (NT $ 138,600) is enviable each year, this is not enough to convince him to stay.
At present, he has left TSMC. At present, young people in Taiwan are more difficult to endure the tiring work of the wafer plant. TSMC's position is no longer as bright as before.
It is reported that in the past 10 years, TSMC surpassed opponents such as Intel and Samsung in the chip competition in the past 10 years, occupying a leading position worldwide, and Taiwan engineers are one of the key, and the success of talents and TSMC.During this period, TSMC employees increased by nearly 70%, but Taiwan's birth rate dropped by half.At the same time, TSMC has to grab talents with foreign semiconductor companies such as Internet companies such as Google and ASML in the Netherlands, and these foreign companies can often provide benefits such as better work and living balance and free food.
Today, many senior people in the semiconductor industry in Taiwan are worried that Taiwan may not support the demand for the continuous growth of the new generation of engineers in the semiconductor industry.The population culture of the population and a large number of competitive technical work means that semiconductor talents will become more and more scarce.
This effect will be profound.Some military strategists believe that TSMC's dominant position in the chip field is the guarantee of Taiwan's resistance to Beijing forces, partly because the United States will need to defend its own supply chain such an important part.
TSMC's senior management has been defending high -demand workplace culture that helps themselves for many years.Zhang Zhongmou, the founder of TSMC, recently emphasized the military discipline of TSMC. For example, the company called the company in the middle of the night to wake up employees to work.However, Liu Deyin, chairman of TSMC, has also admitted many times in recent years that the biggest challenge faced by Taiwan's semiconductor industry is the shortage of talents.
For this reason, TSMC has adjusted its strategy, expanded the pipeline of the talent and raised the basic salary of employees with a master's degree.At the same time, TSMC began recruitment activities in the first half of the traditional recruitment season in March each year, and even taught the basic knowledge of semiconductors to high school students.
Lin Benjian, the dean of the School of Semiconduction Research, Taiwan, who was the deputy general manager of TSMC R & D, said that many companies are not very picky when they are difficult to find a suitable candidate.It is a necessary condition.
Under the appeal of the industry such as Liu Deyin and Chairman of MediaTek, Cai Mingjie, Taiwan set up four semiconductor colleges in 2021, which was one of them.In the unveiling ceremony of the Tsinghua Semiconductor Research Institute in December of that year, Taiwan Cai Yingwen said that Taiwan "runs with time" in the cultivation of semiconductor talents.
