The same problem as Boeing.. Bean counters replacing Engineers..

@@peterclarke3020 Yeah, that's where innovation dies, MBA and finance grads are nothing but hasslers for short term profit taking.

Intel did the same mistake as Blizzard. Maximizing profit by cuts in development and by increasing investment in marketing instead. That reduces quality of products in a few years as we saw with both companies. Then all of a sudden they lose market shares. You can't cut the workforce in IP-intense businesses such as software development and hardware manufacturing if you want to maintain a dominant position.

Indeed. Intel, just another corporate grift. Not to mention Ronnie Raygun deregulating every aspect of business in the US and watching almost all the manufacturing go to SE Asia. So, what the hell did you expect USA?

Education is a service trade of the u.s. just like exports. It would be really problematic if U.S. suck all the engineering talent of the world. Those countries would start to think it might not be a good deal for them to work with the u.s.

short-termism..and now you don't even have enuf engineers for the foundries

That's a short term solution, but America is in general too stupid to build advanced chips. They will need to improve their entire education system to compete with East Asians in the STEM fields...

Well said ! TSMC is facing exactly the issue you mentioned at this moment in the US On the other hand, Japanese fab is progressing according to their plan because Japanese engineers are hard working

So far it's not looking good. The union workers already protested and rejected the workers from Taiwan. They don't want more people from Taiwan to "take their jobs".

This.

Why don't you speak louder that the American want to root out of your semiconductor industry? 😅

"US domestic students are not interested in hardware engineering". That is true, but I think they are not aware of it and have been focused on Computer science. This is a tragedy. I think Bidens effort in US manufacturing presence encouraged many US colleges to rethink about their curriculum and provide hardware engineering majors. They are hard as hell to understand, usually only Asian people are smart as hell to understand them easily. Hardware engineering is basically three majors into one major.

If the monopolies are from democratic countries, US won’t be as concerned. Xi’s CCP ideology is not compatible with the west. There is no way China can get the top technology from west unless China becomes democratic like Taiwan. Semiconductor industry requires multi-country collaboration effort. No one country can pull this thru by itself.

​@@Steven-vo4eebut ASML is heavily reliant on American core technologies. That's why the US can order them not to supply EUV machines to China even though this is not good for ASML in the long run. Imagine the Dutch or any European government ordering an American company around.

You are damn right they are NEVER willing to pay any taxes whatsoever. #taxhavens

They will likely have to spend a fortune on ‘water taxes’ instead !

There used to be much semiconductor manufacturing in the San Fransisco Bay area. In fact, that's where it started. I guess it's too expensive to manufacture them there now and that's why they are doing it overseas,

This is not a good indicator of actual scientific progress. Its more of citation farming combined with blatant data forgery and data manipulation then actual hard proof science we are used to in the West.

Probably not, as they are the recipient of major grant money from the US government. If they set up a fab in China, that would not only make them look as a traitor to the US government, but also - to the people of the US, as most know by now that chips is as much geopolitical and national security, as it is about capitalism. China actually is very likely to make such an ultimatum, if they have secured a comparable quality chip, made in China. They know Intel can't accept, so they have a great reason to shoo them off and clear the way for a chinese chip maker. That's why Intel, is going to have such a challenging era ahead. I'm super glad the current CEO is at the helm, he is a hardcore engineer, learnt how to lead from Andrew Grove, who is one of the GOATS, but they do depend on China quite a bit and that's a touchy subject for all concerned..

$52bn is just the incentive, over $210bn of investment into new fabs has been announced by the private sector. (in US) US has no catching up to do, US still is the leader of semiconductor industry, (technology-wise), the first 2nm chip actually was fabricated by IBM, 2.5 years ago, and Intel is on the path of mass manufacturing its 2nm chips next year (2024), and its 1.8nm will be a year after that, (2025), TSMC 2nm production will be 2026-2027.

Yes, but people think manufacturing these chips are so easy. If they read up on history they would know that many countries have tried to become fab centers of the world but have failed to succeed.

@@Freshie55exactly, I live in Taiwan, and our whole country is built on making chips and electronic, all of the biggest companies are chip or electronic maker, the best students go study electrical engineering, if you could get in to TSMC or company like that you will be the pride of your family and be set for life TSMC is a household name and we often jokingly call it "護國神山" meaning "the godly mountain that protect us" So if US want to get back in to the chip and electronic business, they will probably need more than just money And TSMC(and most Taiwanese tech companies) have very unhealthy working environment, they pay very high wages and bonus to keep you work hours as long as possible, we have a saying "十萬青年十萬肝，GG輪班救台灣" , basically mean " 100 thousands young people is 100 thousands fresh bodys, let's keep staying on shift to save Taiwan".And it is not uncommon seeing news about tech companies have people work to the death. I don't think this is a working culture that could work in the US

It's all political plays. US should just build fabs for its military uses. For commercial usage, just hand it to Taiwan. Much cheaper and practical solution.

A consequence of calling good students as "nerds".

not just that i think. it's an overemphasis on profits (capitalism) / stock prices. leaders within many technological engineering company often has little to no technical understanding of the actual manufacturing process.

It's fine. Treat semiconductor as oil and Taiwan as another Saudi Arabia. Tie semiconductor to dollar is doable.

Someone has to provide money and commodity based isn't a good thing. And the U.S. economy is based off way more than printing money.

The assertion that the U.S. economy is solely built on "printing money" and offshoring assets to manipulate capital markets oversimplifies a complex economic landscape. While the Federal Reserve has employed expansionary monetary policies to support economic growth, the U.S. economy is far from a one-dimensional entity. It boasts a diversified economy that encompasses manufacturing, services, technology, agriculture, and more. While offshoring is a strategy employed by corporations to optimize operations, attributing it solely to manipulating capital-asset ratios ignores the multifaceted reasons behind such decisions, which can include market access and supply chain efficiency. The stock market plays a significant role, but it doesn't encapsulate the entirety of economic activity. In reality, the U.S. economy's dynamism arises from a combination of factors, making it a far more intricate and multifarious system than the simplistic portrayal presented in your statement.

@@jennychuang808 then wait and see, expert😁😁

U.S. is very startup friendly just not for high-cost manufacturing such as semiconductor.

@@afroabroad True due to cost, environmental regulations and labor. Given the posture with China, the chips tech will retain in Taiwan, S. Korea and lower teer technology plus packaging going to Malaysia, Vietnam, etc.

Due to the failure of the United States to suppress Taiwan's technology in 2002, EUV was successfully developed in Taiwan, and the era of artificial intelligence began. In 2022, two Japanese companies, Nikon and Canon, will monopolize the global lithography equipment market. At that time, ASML was still a small company surviving on orders from TSMC. Intel established the EUV LCC Alliance to develop lithography machines using American dry methods and adopt American lithography 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 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 the Intel EUV LCC alliance failed. TSMC spent 1 million wafers in testing at the F12b wafer fab, and finally successfully created EUV to produce advanced chips. The United States has not invested a dime in the research and development of modern EUV, and not a single American engineer is involved in research and development. Immersion lithography technology is TSMC’s technology. If the United States did not have Taiwanese technology and Nvidia was founded by Taiwanese, could the United States still become a world hegemon?

Are you sure? Because the 2-3 years lag which you yourself mention is a huge gap of time in leading technological scale in chip manufacturing. There is no alternative data that confirms that China is fulfilling internal demand of 5-7nm by in-house design and manufacturing processes let alone exporting it in any shape or form. But I will be curious to see such data.

@@pamtam1 The development of high-end chip manufacturing is slowing down as the processes reaching its limit. The latest 3nm Apple A17 chips, for example, doesn't offer much improvement over its 5nm predecessor, A16. So even TSMC figures out how to make 1nm chips, 1. The wafers are too expensive 2. the performance gain is low. 3. This is the limit of its technology. At the same time, China is catching up in this field. We are already certain that they can make 7nm chips at a high quantity, and we are not even sure it is SMIC who produces them. Given a couple of years, they can advance to 5nm or even 3nm. By that time the US will not have any advantage at this field.

How can china have 3nm when it can't get latest asml machines?

@@bobpritham2660 Because ASML is not the only way to produce EUV, just like Lockheed Martin is not the only one who knows how to build stealth planes.

EUV does allow for smaller chips but if it is to be adpoted and supported by industry, they need the big players like TSMC to make use of it. There are still technical hurdles to overcome for EUV to be widespread and older nodes are actually very reliable

@@yellowChupacabra When they minaturize the circuitry more, it does more than allow for smaller chip sizes. It allows for higher possible clock speeds and/or lower power consumption. So you get an improvement in performance. That has historically been one of the main factors driving improved microprocessor speeds and lower power consumption over time.

@@jeffstrehlow2623 the main driver has been to push the speed of the chips themselves. Recently however it seems that that trend is now shifting: Speed alone is not the only deciding factor, and existing chips are already plenty fast (in most cases anyway).

You are right. Majority of applications in most sectors do not need leading technology but then that is precisely the opportunity cost you pay to be the leader. The extent to which you are at the cutting edge, you can keep on leading the world, the moment you slip up, you will always be able to use “majority of applications” along with rest of the world but you will NO longer remain an economic, military, diplomatic, powerful leader.

Without access to advanced manufacturing equipment and knowledge, China can only improve so far. Using your Huawei’s Mate60 Pro as an example, its CPU is not as good as the one it had several years ago. So, Huawei is behind by 3 or more years. The gap will continue to widen. Apple’s iPhone 15 is equipped with 3 nm CPU TSMC’s latest product. It will take another 5 to 7 years or longer for China to get there. By that time, TSMC will be making 1 nm chips.

however he is talking about the past, BEFORE the tech war. what most people don't realised is the number of Taiwanese and Japanese tech leader that has move to China. the Japanese still feel betrayed by US for the plaza accord that made their chip too expensive and cause their companies to collapse, want a "2nd attempt" in a country which has a large enough domestic market to survive US pressure. while the Taiwanese feel betrayed by TSMC over lawsuit to prevent them from working with Korea decided to head to China to craft their own "heaven". these leading engineer are all very egotastic people, they refuse to bow and compromise. and it is very likely some of them are responsible for producing the chip Huawei use on Mate 60. the fact that Mate 60 appears with a chinese chip shows that stabmling block is now a thing of the past. because China has become a haven for asian engineers who felt the that current american system is rig against them. US attempt to strong arm TSMC to build plant in US will lead to more TSMC lead engineer abandoning the company and going to China. they can't stand the US labour policies and feel it is unjust that american are paid more than them when they do a worst job and are less qualified. US unwillingness to use Taiwanese engineers due to union pressure will cause the US project to stall and accelerate China development. many engineers has already quit, but they have to wait for the 2-3 year contract term of not working for a competitor to expires before they can start work...

There is never fair play in this world. TSMC stopped sales to Huawei completely due to US sanctions.

Did you ever stop to ask WHY the us is restricting these advanced chips to China?

@@evrythingis1 Because China is communist?

@@evrythingis1 yes . Usa hates china progress Nothing new China exclusion act which made China even more competitive China wolf accords which limited China space progress . Now China has its own space program . Soooooooo that's your 5th loss

@@evrythingis1 yes . Usa is jealous

Yeah, Huawei has indeed been extremely quiet about this supposedly miracle chip. Why launch in such a lowkey manner, and not even mention its full specs in their event?

@@andyyang5234 because they haven't finish the software. the phone is still being software update to improve it performance, it already 20% faster than when it first appear. they clearly launch it early as a middle finger to the visiting commerce secretery... :) they can finish the software later anyway...

@@lagrangewei :)))) nobody cares about huawei anymore. deal with it :)

No one is going to ditch Taiwan, for US, Taiwan issue is far beyond their chip industry, if China invades Taiwan, the one that's going to be ditched is China, the outcome would be obvious, US will get involved directly into the war or they will end their economical ties with China that would end China as we know it today.

😂😂😂

Taiwan isn't going anywhere. No need to freak out.

Being a friend of US, what do you expect 😂😂😂

"friend"? US does not even recognise Taiwan for the past 50 years. US "betrayed" Taiwan the moment US ended the defence treaty with Taiwan 50 years ago and kicked the Taiwan ambassador out of US. Taiwan is not a US ally, the Taiwan relations act is call an "act" because it is not a treaty, the act does not claim US will defend Taiwan, but that Taiwan should be able to "defend itself". is South Vietnam not a US ally? is Afghanistan not a US ally? the correct answer to all 3 is "WAS", the "WERE" US allies but they are not allies today. furthermore, US is ally to ROC because the Chinese PEOPLE help US fight the Japanese in WWII. however ROC has already surrendered to and merge with PRC when Nanjing fall and the acting president Li Zhongren surrendered, the chinese PEOPLE who fought with the american are really the ones US should remember and honor as friends. Chiang was not the legal president of ROC, he was already kick out of office for corruption, he only claim to be president a month after the surrender has happened so whatever his regime in Taiwan is, it is not actually the same ROC, it is in fact the 3rd government to claim to be ROC after the original Beijing government, then the KMT Nanjing government, and finally Chiang's military government in Taiwan. is the "white terror" of Taiwan really something the "leader of the free world" should associate itself with? you don't know the history of Taiwan. the last thing Taiwan want to associate itself with is the very government US "allied" with.

They don't necessarily determine the ultimate success or failure of the project. Companies like TSMC typically adapt and work through initial issues to establish a productive and harmonious operation. The long-term success of TSMC's Arizona facility will depend on its ability to navigate these challenges effectively and contribute to the local economy and semiconductor industry. It's the US, they have the money and the means to secure the talent, it also helps that it isn't a repressive country like China. oof @ ur subscriptions lol

I will not be surprised TSMC will be held at gun point to do it in US. Separatist government will comply to US request, they need US support to survive politically.

@@sneakymove Taiwan has another option to join China. Not all Taiwanese are against unification with China. Your words will drive the DPP to lose the election in Jan.

@@sneakymove That would be akin to suicide for them. TSMC is a silicon buffer to china. Once the US gets new tech manufactured in Arizona, it's game over for TW. The US has no need to protect them.

@@sneakymove Quite opposite. Why the US would want to defend taiwan when TSMC has moved out of the island? Taiwanese homeland security can only be achieved if TSMC stays there.

With all those good things in Arizona that you enumerated, Arizona will still lack enough clean water to do serious chip manufacturing.

​@@andoveriteThe Colorado is drying up. They're going to have to figure that one out

They also have hot weather and valley fever at the lower elevations. I don't know about now, but they used to have semiconductor manufacturing in the Phoenix area.

the translation of that taiwan consultant is actually wrong. China already produce 20% of the world chip supply, he is talking about highend chip. the translation is missing the world "lower than".

​@@lagrangeweithanks, that makes more sense.

AMD got cheated by Intel, so they sold all the hardware(fabs) and tech to TSMC. What happens when market makes it profitable to illegally collude with PC system sellers. The other reason is that engineering is not held in high regard in western countries so why should the normal person learn these jobs when they won't get appreciated. Only few western countries like Germany and Switzerland where engineers are still held in high regard. But it might be too late now, the cost of building the fabs will probably take a decade or two to catch up, and that's if they are lucky with no corruption and people are successful from actual merit.

It's becoming so expensive to develop and build a chip, that no one company -- or even one country -- can completely control the entire process from end to end. US chose the most profitable section (chip design) to keep, which left them with giants like NVIDIA and Qualcomm; Europe has the machines; Japan has the chemicals; while TSMC got a low margin but very capital intensive section of the value chain. Realistically none of these can live without the rest, and if we take China out of the picture, it's really an arrangement that benefits everyone.

US is not helping Taiwan. it is merely pretending, if US is really interested in defending Taiwan, every weapon Taiwan paid for should immediately be delivered to Taiwan. however all the weapon Taiwan bought only exist on paper. few if any of the weapon were ever delivered. why? because you can't defend TSMC, it a strategic liability, not an asset. if China feel US will intervene because of TSMC, they will simply bomb TSMC and elimate it from the calculation. then what value is there for the US to intervene after it is already destroyed? so US best move is to avoid China believing US will intervene, that is why US does not deliver the weapon and tried to drag it feet for as long as legally possible. US does not see Taiwan or TSMC as an asset, it see it as a liability. and druming up TSMC as if it is somekind of shield, is as stupid as holding a silicon wafer to trying and block a bullet with it. it not a shield, it a vunerability.

@@alexprach AMD did not sell their tech to TSMC, they merge it with Singapore companies to become Global Foundries which is a competitor of TSMC. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GlobalFoundries seriously too many people are talking about semiconductor without knowing anything about it history.

A major failure of foresight ! And caring too much about the cents, losing sight of the future dollars.

correct me if I am wrong but, isn't it because the us isn't a single organ but rather a bunch of different people trying to achieve splendor for their own parties? They will do what they can to get votes and when it comes down to making it big, quick solutions are faster approved. Looking into the internal market and lifting its working class, tech class, and middle class isnt a priority for ages anymore.

Seeing the world with such a childlike simplicity must be comforting.

I have worked with a lot of them in the Semiconductor industry, and most of them have come to the simple conclusion that life is better here for there family and there carrier.

Actually USA did it to themselves AMD would never have sold their tech to TSMC if Intel weren't punished so softly when they colluded to stop companies like Dell from selling systems with AMD chips.

hipicricy at the highest level, probably US contributed less than 10% in EVUs, i haven't come across anything except some contribution in light source.

@@OWAIS843 EUV is an American University patent... rewarded to ASML for development.

@@fransezomer there is a lot of difference between university thesis and a real world engineering machine, who in the US can make those mirrors that Carl Zeiss makes? it's much more difficult than every thing else in an EUV.

@@OWAIS843 In regards to the EUV technology you are just cluless, and you have no idea what your talking about, the EUV technology is basically the American technology, it was originally developed by US and ASML joined the efforts later, the early efforts on EUV system was done buy NIST (US), 3 of US DOE national labs (Sandia, Lawrence Livermore and Lawrence Berkeley) and a bunch of other American companies, a consortium of US national labs and the private sector was formed and R&D got started, ASML actually asked the US gov for the permission to get access to the technology, (Canon, and Nikon were eager to get involved too but US gov denied their request), and there was a whole lot of tech transfer and licencing to ASML, which many of them still hold, ASML bought a number of American companies to develop the technology further along the way, including some of the top American lithography equipment makers. In regards to the American suppliers of the EUV system again you are just cluless, as I said above the technology originally was developed by US, so many parts and components of the system still come from American suppliers, (I can name many of them if you want.) In regards to the light source, again you have no idea what you are taking about, the EUV system is nothing but its light source, it's the key part of the system and the most complicated one, its the core of the machine, it was the hardest part to design and build, and as you probably know it's designed and built by Cymer in California.

@@OWAIS843 There are a bunch of other companies both in US, Europe and Japan that are capable of making similar optics\mirros in EUV system, and I am not even counting US national labs and the National Institute of Standards and Technology in US, which are essentially the leaders in developing optical surfaces, EUV mirrors are not that hard to make, plus Tinsley Laboratories (US), SVG Lithography Systems (US) and SNL (US) were the ones that developed the initial EUV mirrors, later Carl Zeiss joined the consortium and co-developed the mirrors further with Tinsley Laboratories (US).

China is a housing Ponzi scheme, not a high tech powerhouse. China’s recovery of Taiwan is a pipe dream.
