Many companies are trying to develop a series of technologies that allow computer systems to reach new power levels, and it is clear that if we talk about the semiconductors used by the chips, the nodes of TSMC These are the ones with the most advanced developments. This is the main reason why EU hopes that the Taiwanese company can manufacturing their knots in North America, but the latest statements from the Taiwanese government make it very clear that the most advanced technologies will not leave the Asian country.
More and more companies are seeking collaboration with what is currently the most valuable Taiwanese company in the world, and although Intel and Samsung are also in the race to develop the most technologically advanced nodes, they are far behind TSMC , something. this does not allow them to compete directly with them, which pushes the most important companies to choose to use the processes created in Taiwan.
Taiwan will not allow TSMC to manufacture 2nm nodes outside the country
For some time now, one of the main projects of TSMC go through the offering States Joined the ability to manufacturing theirs chips linked to the most important technologies developed by the company, which is why three factories are being built in this North American country. But not all of the company’s plans took into account Taiwan’s extremely strict policy regarding different technologies developed domestically, namely that it will not be able to manufacture extremely advanced technological nodes outside of him.
As one can imagine, this constitutes a very hard blow for the United States, not for TSMC itself, since it was the North American country itself that tried to force the creation of the brand’s factories , allowing them to develop, by investing billions. dollars in the process. And the United States knows the importance that the Taiwanese company has to its largest companies, which is the main reason why it has subsidized virtually all of the company’s activities to ensure that they transport the manufacturing of their most advanced nodes on the western continent.
This is part of a statement issued by JW Kuo, Taiwan’s Minister of Economic Affairs, who assured that despite the efforts of both EU from TSMC for carrying their knots further advance to other countries, the company’s most important technologies will remain exclusively in the Asian country, without the possibility of creating them elsewhere.
“Since Taiwan has regulations to protect its own technologies, TSMC cannot currently produce 2-nanometer chips overseas.”
“Although TSMC plans to make 2-nanometer chips [en el extranjero] In the future, its core technology will remain in Taiwan. »
If to the problem of not being able to manufacture the chips in your own country we add the possible customs duties that the US government may apply to all exports from its main trading partners, we could face a problem that would ultimately cause a price increase. of chips that use TSMC technologies are increasing significantly.
