To be honest, a lot of what I hear about Asia and tech in videos like Polymatter, I already know, having lived in China since 2016. Your videos are truly a treasure trove of new information for me.
John , thank you for another brilliant video . Philips has a very interesting history indeed . A lot of people remember the old Sony Walkman but Philips was actually the developer of the cassette tape . Philips was also a major player with LG in flat screen tv technology. They had their fingers in every pie !
Thanks for your excellent tribute. Some parts of (industrial) history Needs to be remembered also in Asia. The name of Philips has been removed from the Wikipedia page of TSMC.
Thank you. I used to work for Philips Scientific and Industrial selling test equipment 30 years ago. I still have found memories. I am glad companies are driven by other qualities than just profit.
Thank you so much for this excellent chapter of hightech history. This is a relatively unknown relationship between Philips and TSMC. I know Philips history quite well that it was once the archrival of Sony during its golden era. Over the last few decades Philips had retreated from many sectors including CE, semiconductor components, and test and measurement equipment. Now it has nothing more than medical equipment division.
It's golden age was before Sony. It was the biggest manufacturer of radios before WOII and was the sole owner of the cassette music tapes. Sony indeed took over but it was when Philips started loosing out.
This was really interesting :), lately i have been finding a lot of shared history with my country (NL) and TW. But i had no idea about PHILIPS influence in TW. Thanks for making these videos!!!
4:55 It's probably worth doing a video on KT Li. He seems like a key politician in Taiwan's economic success. I'll go have a read of his Wikipedia page.
You forget another Phillips daughter company, FEI, who build electron microscopes used by TSMC to troubleshoot their process and reach yield! All those proud Dutch engineers are coming to retirement age now...
@@LeleSocho notice how western thinking is inflexible in cultural and linguistic adaptability...ie pronunciation must conform to english not the the country of origin...funny!!!!! Easy to understand why Western nations that previously dominated are finding it so hard to adjust to global market integration.
A fab in malaysia called Silterra lost usd2.5billion in 20 years but just recently made a little profit. Can you talk about semicon industry in Malaysia
Fascinating how hard work, patriotic fervor and struggle for performance made TSMC so successful ... hope it can continue. The concentration effect of the last few decades has certainly contributed in separating winners from losers. The arc that befell Philips seems very similar to that of Motorola - loosing focus or conflicting struggles or both ? The next chapter will be interesting.
I like this episode very much. You can write a bestseller on chips beginning with Philips. What about the Japanese semi conductor industry killed by the US? That sounds like a good story too.
Japanese is doers not inventors. They won the market by paying more effort and hard hours work. Even in their peak industrials ,they all licensed US chips in manufacturing.
I thought it was a 555 timer that placed Phillips into dominence in electronics industry, not to mention it revolutionaried whole electronics into customers. CD technology is just improvising RCA's laser disc tech.
ASML became leader after US decided to curve down the Japanese electronic industries. The EUV light source is US governments fund invention and monopolized to ASML. Same as past AMOLED screen invented by US and gave its tech exclusive monopolized to South Korea until the technology was cracked down by China lately.
@obimk1 EUV light source was the project of US department of energy. They gave fund to company they'd chosen which its Cymer Inc. And they created it. At the final stage , they had to find some lithograhy manufacturers collborating in make use of it. At the time, Japan also submitted it's apply. But US govt decided to allow only single one at the aim to monoplolized this market and they choose Netherland. Thats was the begin of decline in Japan lithography business. Japan electronic association and Japan govt were not satsfying the situation. They gathering started R&D in making EUV light source. There were so many R&D papers in Japan universities at that time topic on How to make EUV power light from Cyclotron system. And they were stuck in there since then.
As he said a in a previous video: "In semiconductors either you are the leader, or you suck". TSMC is the leader in high performance chip manufacturing. It's not currently Intel, not Global Foundries (spun out from AMD), not Samsung. And certainty not currently China's SMIC. It probably also helps that Asianometry is based out of Taiwan, and TSMC is the world-leading technology company from Taiwan.
@@shazmosushi I'm well aware of TSMC's dominance in chip manufacturing industry. I simply made the statement that this guy is obsessed with TSMC. If he isn't Taiwanese then this obsession of his is sort of weird to be honest.
@@bobmarley4272 what's a normal obsession? Probably Kpop, Tiktok or some other mindless nonsense. Having an obsession where you actually learn something is already weird in this day and age.
@@cbrtdgh4210 His channel revolves around TSMC. That's weird. If I have to explain to you why it's weird, then I'm afraid to tell you that you're no fun at parties.

Polymatter to my knowledge doesn't know chinese and therefore can't access primary sources. That makes a world of difference.

Yet Philips also make products in South Korea!
Old Dutch generations were especially forward thinking.
They had to be to be able to survive in their little piece of Europe
Fabulous history and your research is brilliant.
Thanks for your excellent tribute.

I never knew this despite being very familiar with both Philips and TSMC. Very good video.

a teeny tiny correction: the company Nikon is pronounced "nee-kon" and not "naikon" as the japanese ニコン can only be read that way
ok, but why not write it Niikon then ?
@@VES. Because there's no reason to, it's only a problem in English because it's the most stupid language for pronunciation consistency.
@@LeleSocho notice how western thinking is inflexible in cultural and linguistic adaptability...ie pronunciation must conform to english not the the country of origin...funny!!!!!

@@andrethorpe6183 lol, Chevrolet in japanese is Shiborē, Ford is Fōdo and Starbucks is Sutāba - you were saying?
@@thelastofthehitachi972 you seem to miss my point... Western people cannot adapt to foreign language pronunciation ... Other cultures adapt....

It's coming next week.
Moris Chang once said human potentials is the key!!!
This is one of the ways, that make dutch influence great.
"It aint much if it aint Dutch" - as my Dutch friend likes to say.
This video deserve more views
Give it time

Thank you you're helping me understand tsmc so I can invest in their stocks
Thanks for the video
The machine you showed at 9:07 is actually a DUV machine, not EUV. Great video!
Excellent video. Thank you.
The machine in shown on 9:05 is not an EUV scanner (NXE). That's an immersion scanner (NXT).
Thanks for this amazing video, can you please talk about Texas instruments?
As to say RCA also made products in Taiwan, but RCA’s scandal was in a factory in Taoyuan.
This is why youtube is great.
Your videos are damn interesting man
Just be consistent.
🤗🤗🤗
The dude alsow had a little side project, of basicly building the 4th biggest city in the Netherlands ( Eindhoven) 😂👍
Haha, not just him, also his grandfather and father.
Wow!! In this modern times where value and ethics don't play nearly any role this would be impossible
@@bloedblarre yeah it's a real company.
Interesting
This is a great video.
So, KMT played a role in the success of TSMC?
Key scientists and engineers were from KMT era. Many reknown Chinese American scientists even came from the mainland China.
Philips sold tsmc way too early..............
True
0:06 They hunted deer? Why? That's so sad.
for the skins. it was big business
Can you make a video on why Taiwan is strong in hardware making, but weak in software/internet/AI industry ？

...Which was also invented at the Philips NatLab and demonstrated by Klaas Compaan in the 60s :-)
The Dutch invented capitalism
ASML became leader after US decided to curve down the Japanese electronic industries. The EUV light source is US governments fund invention and monopolized to ASML.
