https://www.reuters.com/technology/...talks-europe-falter-2021-05-14/ Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (2330.TW) is weighing plans to pump tens of billions of dollars more into cutting-edge chip factories in the U.S. state of Arizona than it had previously disclosed, but is cool on prospects for an advanced European plant, people familiar with the matter told Reuters. TSMC is the world's most advanced chip-maker, and its investment plans are being closely watched amid a global chip shortage and new initiatives in the U.S. and Europe to subsidize semiconductor production.....Now, company officials are debating whether the next plant should be a more advanced facility that can make chips with so-called 3-nanometer chipmaking technology compared to the slower, less-efficient 5-nanometer technology used for the first factory.The more advanced 3-nanometer plant could cost $23 billion to $25 billion,...Officials have also sketched out plans for TSMC to make next-generation 2-nanometer and smaller chips as the Phoenix campus is built out the next 10 to 15 years, the person said...."

"...TSMC this year hired Benjamin Miller, a 25-year Intel veteran, as its head of human resources in Arizona. The company says that it has hired 250 engineers there and that about 100 of them, along with their families, have been sent to Tainan, Taiwan, where they will complete a 12- to 18-month training program before returning to Arizona.TSMC chairman and founder Morris Chang, warned last month of higher operating costs and a thin talent pool for the U.S. plans in a rare public speech attended by Wei and chairman Mark Liu."In the United States, the level of professional dedication is no match to that in Taiwan, at least for engineers," Chang said. He warned that "short-term subsidy can't make up for long-term operational disadvantage." .....TSMC's first Arizona factory will be relatively small, with a projected output of 20,000 wafers - 12-inch silicon discs that can each contain thousands of chips - per month. By contrast, TSMC's "gigafabs" in Taiwan can produce 100,000 wafers per month." https://www.reuters.com/technology/...talks-europe-falter-2021-05-14/
1 NM CHIPS MÖGLICH Der technische Fortschritt von TSMC erhöht den Druck auf SamsungGepostet: 2021-05-20 16:59Aktualisiert: 2021-05-20 19:31 TSMC scheint Samsung Electronics im Chip-Rennen einen Schritt voraus zu sein, da der Spitzenreiter des Gießereigeschäfts behauptet, es gelungen zu sein, Halbleiter mit ultradünner 1-Nanometer-Verarbeitungstechnologie in Massenproduktion herzustellen . Das in Taiwan ansässige Unternehmen gab kürzlich im Wissenschaftsjournal "Nature" bekannt, dass es ihm gelungen ist, die Technologie zur Massenproduktion von 1-Nanometer-Chips zu entwickeln. Das Kunststück wurde durch gemeinsame Forschung mit dem Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) und der National Taiwan University (NTU) erreicht. https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/tech/2021/05/133_309137.html

: Japan to provide 19 bil. yen to TSMC-led advanced
chip project https://www.nippon.com/en/news/kd772059606929752064/ The Japanese government will contribute around 19 billion yen ($173 million) to a project led by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. to develop chip-making technology in Japan, the industry ministry said Monday.
Speaking at TSMC’s annual technology presentation to clients and investors, held online for the second straight year because of the pandemic, chief executive C C Wei said the planned factory remains on track to begin volume production of semiconductors using the company’s 5-nanometre production technology from 2024.....Reuters previously reported that TSMC, the world’s largest contract manufacturer of semiconductors, plans to build as many as six factories at the Arizona site over a 10- to 15-year span
aber interessiert mich noch ,eigentlich halte ich es für zu früh, Arizona nicht vor 2024 und die neuen Chips auch nicht...allein die guten Verkäufe bei AMD und Apple ? naja man kauft die Zukunft https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20210602PR200.html
“As a result, TSMC and MIT say they've achieved zero Schottky barrier, meaning they've hit the theoretical energy barrier for electrons formed on semiconductors.”
Hallo an alle, ich persönlich bin nicht in TSMC investiert und wollte euch mal fragen, ob Ihr euch eigentlich gar keine Sorgen macht, dass Taiwan in naher Zukunft einer chinesischen Invasion zum Opfer fallen könnte und was dann mit euren TSMC Aktien passiert?
und mache mir natürlich darüber sorgen, aber ich denke die usa werden sich darüber bewusst sein und es mit allen mitteln verhindern. zudem wird ja jetzt ein zusätzliches Werk in den Usa (arizona) gebaut.
Falls es so kommen sollte wird es vorher Anzeichen geben, kannst ja vorzeitig raus.
Off-topic: Chinas Entwicklung erreicht bald den Höhepunkt. Mit ihrer aggressiven Politik gegenüber den Nachbarn, Corona und Anpassung der Lieferwege spreche ich vom Beginn des Abbaus in, Niedergang wäre vermessen, aber die werden viel Gegenwind bekommen. Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall. Gilt auch für das Reich der Mitte.
