That ended abruptly. I was enjoying that.... before it ended.
True.
Thats what she said
Same! Wtf 😂

@@dhaneeshar thank you
Everyone hearing of TSMC these days lol
A dream home for someone with OCD and a fear of bacteria.
😭🌈
Fab clean rooms only filter out dust/fine particles, not bacteria or viruses
You are fear about bacteria dude wtf the are all around you 24/7 you can not wash them off or get rid off them there are always i repeat ALWAYS on you inside you everywhere so wtf are you talking about...
You have no idea what you are talking about.
for me it would be nightmare, coz one extra reason to worry of bacteria,dust,dead cells (from me, as human) spreading to products... (in bad day)
100,000 times cleaner than an operating theatre.
Wrong "clean". Operating room is sterile, fab is "clean".
Lahore , Delhi air ??
This stock is ranked 10th in market cap currently. Insane how a stock barely anyone knows is up there.
LoL just because YOU don't know doesn't mean "barely anyone knows".
@@VitaKet compared to the total number of people on the planet, it is quite accurate. Ask 100 random strangers on the street how many heard of it and che chances are only 4 or 5 have.
rich people know it
Love to taiwan from India🇮🇳
Thank God tsmc is in Taiwan .
it almost ends in China and it will not be in the west
Two Chinese government-backed chip projects have together hired more than 100 veteran engineers and managers from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's leading chipmaker, since last year, multiple sources have told the Nikkei Asian Review.
As many as 3,000 chip experts have already left Taiwan and are currently working in mainland China, which accounts for about 10% of the total 40,000 semiconductor research and development experts on the island, Taiwan's Business Weekly said in a report published this week.
- God is now in China not Taiwan
Just wait for the shift, yes I know it sounds scary for some to accept that China may have cutting edge technology lead...
Republic of China
It's not easy to copy the technology when China just uses Taiwanese people from TSMC. If it works, China should not worry about it. By the way, China is China, Taiwan is Taiwan, two different countries. For most people in Taiwan, there is no "mainland China" but just China. And also I believe that god will not want to stay in China, there's no place for god. The Chinese Communist Party is an atheist.
I am so proud that I was born in Taiwan, by watching Taiwan growing with its own journey being successful at the top of the tech world, cool!
You can be proud for a few years only as the US wants TSMC to relocate to Atlanta ASAP. This is a contingent plan in the event China unify Taiwan back to the motherland. US does not want Taiwan to surrender TSMC chip making technology to China.
I hope you are earning good out of it
I want to setup a chip manufacturing company in India, where can I start
@@purushottamgupta2950 First peel off all the potato and then slice them thinly and fry them in Ghee oil. Add masala powder to taste and that's it, Indian Masala Chips.
@Lien Chase
Funny ! How much do you actually know about Taiwan?
It looks so shiny, clean. So perfect.
It has to be. If even a speck of dust gets onto a semiconductor wafer the entire wafer is ruined. It’s why everyone wears bunny suits too.
@@danielclark653 I know. It depends of the product. There are requirements. On the other hand we are making lifting equipment and it's all dirty with chips everywhere. :D
@@DazePhase I used to make power generators so I understand how dirty things like that can be
Dream company for electronics engineer 😍
India's failure on semiconductor industry
Taiwan is one of the most important COUNTRIES in the world and everybody should recognize them.
I saw an interview we the head of tsmc that's also in this video. She seems highly competent and is very much at heart an engineer
Taiwanese🇹🇼 thanks for your good heart.but currently,Taiwan is in the embarrassing situation,civil war between two China is not end still.
taiwan no,1, the world needs Taiwan!
taiwan is not a country u am*can POS
Each year the conveyor belt speed is doubled, and the employees holiday halved to conform to Moores law.
Underrated comment.
Lmao hahahaha
😂😂😂😂
Made in Taïwan Is absolutely great.. Bravo Taïwan
It's collective efforts and brilliance of all human kinds. Stop saying TMSC is made in Taiwan.
Its US made, US components, 😅🤣🤣
@@zippermannjoshua3786 It's true
I work in a Semiconductor fab in Texas. It pretty fun to me.
the same one that was shut down by the power outage? samsung?
@@ignotumperignotius630 No.
@@cybermechid9181 yep
@@frankgutierrez6016 we need some CC1200 over here xd
My brother is a technition in an Infineon factory making chips for cars. Close by is a Texas Instrument factory.
Am I the only one that freaked out because she went into the clean room wearing makeup? lol
And probably gold jewlery :P Gold is cancer for semiconductor fabrication.
Looks like she didn't get anywhere near wafers though! Also, how come she gets to wear a white smock? Usually they dress customers up in bright pink or something VERY obvious to make them stand out from the regular staff!
@@thewordforever4839 Well this TMSC line looks like its almost fully automated and remotely controlled so yea you are never in contact with the waffers during fabrication. All the vaccum systems in clearnrooms are cut out of the environment anyway BUT contamination is a serious part of the SC industry. A slight oversight can ruin production FOR DAYS if not months.
@@leonidasg2257 This is only a problem if you do maintenance within the machine. I have gold caps on some of my teeth and it isn't a problem either. Neither is the metallic frame of my glasses. That's one of the reasons why everybody wears those suits. The bigger problem is that jewelry can rip your fingers or ears off if it catches in some moving machine. It also can fry your skin if you accidentally touch something hot.
Makeup can be a problem because it can become aerosolized. I just hope she or anyone in the team didn't smoke before starting to film - this would have been even worse!
@@thewordforever4839 Depends on the factory - I've been in factories where visitor suits are different colors and others where they are the same color. I've never seen bright pink though. It's usually white, light blue, or tan and visitor suits have more subtle differences like a special visitor tag or different boots.
Thank Lee DeForest for the vacuum tube and thank Bell labs for the transistor!!!!
this ubiquitous thing that dr. Sun talks about was all chips communicating together was actually an idea or theory that i had thought of years ago with just traffic alone.
That one lady seems super passionate about what she does and her English is amazing!
I think I spotted a dust particle at 3:32
Reflection I'm pretty sure
I love how she transitioned from heels in the first minute to sensible shoes in the next, and then taking them off after that.
@3:16 When she said"exclusive access", *she meant it* :
this is the *only* publicly available footage of a press tour inside a TSMC fab.
Only the bbc has this kind of reach
"Led by a company you've probably never heard of....TSMC"
Uh..what?
A good % of Americans confuse Taiwan with Thailand due to lack of interest in Asia. Further exacerbating this is the Chinese Communist Party's longstanding oppression of any information related to Taiwan for the last few decades. So not hearing about TSMC is pretty much expected. Obviously if you deal with semiconductors at all you would know about TSMC because it's like not hearing about Samsung when you deal w/ cellphones.
@@indianatarzan8001 TSMC, Samsung, Intel are the big 3 in semiconductor industry
yeah same. i hear it multiple times a week. I mean they produce so much! although my GPU is made by Samsung (RTX 3080) and my CPU is made by intel. But for example every Playstation has chips from there.
@@Dgeigerd --- Samsung and Intel both outsource a lot of their chip fab to TSMC
@@fredwerza3478 Yeah but the CPUs and Ampere GPUs are produced by intel and samsung so far
THANK YOU to TSMC. They are ready to open thier factory and teach people how to made Chips...🤧. My love for TAIWAN & TSMC will never go down a even a single bit
Absolutely love how succinct the last sentence is.
These guys make cutting edge technology, meanwhile in Australia we're still just selling rocks.
Where do earth metals and raw materials derive?
Yet you're better off than some of the countries that just sells rocks
We have the glorious title of worlds biggest and best quarry, 10 years running.
I didn't realize some of this stuff existed in real life... I thought it was science fiction... Thanks for expanding my mind!
Notice the presenter entered the building wearing heals... And somehow changed to slats! :)
How insanely extra +++relevant is this right now!
I literally just got a job offer from this company willing to pay for my travels. It seemed so sketch but wow thank god she linked the video
Did you get it?
How did one of the biggest semi-conductor manufacturers give you a job offer and you didn't even know who they were?
Thanks for sharing
Alien technology 👽 =TSMC
Not only tsmc is from taiwan, you need to know that both amd and nvidia's ceo are taiwanese.
Don't forget Foxconn.
Lisa Su is brilliant, she spoke at my sister's graduation at MIT a couple years ago. Intel and AMD were founded by employees of Fairchild Semiconductor about a year apart, Lisa's the first Taiwanese CEO, but she really turned the company around.
Nvidia is a failure
They are Chinese
@@phillip76 They are Han. "Chinese" can mean ethnicity, nationality, culture, etc...
A good choice made by AMD
Newbie here, how exactly does this company relate to AMD. Are they competitors or partners?
@@WhyHighC TSMC makes chips for amd, amd doesnt have its own factory
@@WhyHighC AMD - NVIDIA - HUAWEI - APPLE every company design ther own Cpu or GPU designs and send them to TSMC for manufacturing
@@WhyHighC AMD used to manufacture their own chips like Intel, but they could not keep up with the research in manufacturing, so instead, they focused on design, and outsourced manufacturing to TSMC.
@@tiga2001 Intel is stuck with there own old out dated technology. Intel still has there own fab, but they have been stuck on 14nm for 6 years, while TSMC is leading the world at 7nm, and soon to be 5nm.
This gives me an idea of what Porotech gets up to
Thanks again
Muy interesante esta empresa
I visited the rank hotels computer centre some years ago the first time I had visited a clean room environment (by the way I was dating someone who I was working with ho hum)
I can't imagine anymore!
Watching semiconductor factories always feels like watching alien technology
thats cool
Moore's law is not a set of rules to follow, rather a quite accurate prediction.
I need to go in there to apply my next screen protector
Huawei left the chatroom
#Thisistheway
SMIC enter the room
@Modox The only 7nm/5nm factory are in Taiwan only
fascinating
Lol, why she so surprised when entering a clean room?
because she probably wears her shoes on inside her home.
Because she's probably a mess.
@@DatKidJohnny only a problem if you traditionally had dirty streets like, yknow, asia and europe
Just imagine if she farted inside that clean room
Fantastic 🙏👍
FYI It’s the most valuable company in Asia currently. Yes it’s more valuable than Samsung.
Attila Riczák we say “most valued” not “most valuable” in English.
@Dex4Sure he's talking shit, I live in UK and most valued sounds so wrong. Most valuable is correct in any form of English.
@Dex4Sure *By that I mean I've never heard anyone say most valued here
That’s not true at all, it’s not even close to being the most valuable
@@christophegroulx8187 Most valuable in a sense TSMC is everywhere, mobile chips, AMD and Nvidia graphics cards, desktop cpu and probably more makes it really valuable
Vlw Pozzer
TSMC ❤️
Fabulous
Watching this reminds me how ignorant, arrogant and disposable I am along with 99% of earth's population compared to these great minds. This is so surreal.
Recycle, recycle, recycle. You can help prop up these fantastic industries by trading in your old devices.
0:28 It’s not one of the largest, it is the largest .
The largest is Samsung dude
@@tameralzoubi6664 Samsung is way smaller. lol
@@Dodowing77 nope samsung is on another level
@@alanmay7929 it's doesn't matter what you say. The fact is the fact.
@@tameralzoubi6664 TSMC’s semiconductor market share is more than three times of Samsung
If your wafer's fab is TSMC, probabbly high yield. lol!
Can't even believe that Asia is now the home of the world tech center.
Half of this sounds dystopian af
A sense of relief TSMC is in Taiwan.
Why?
@@GP-qb9hi China bad. Now give me my likes
Basically usa company with taiwan flag
@@agler88 Korean stop crying forever No.2
@@GP-qb9hi Taiwanese company wdym why?
TSMC:s profits are insane. They make 40c in profits for every dollar in revenue. Apple, AMD, Nvidia and others are willing to pay that price premium to get access to the most advanced fabs in the world.
Andreas Hämäläinen And they make that profit not by fiercely competing with other manufacturers, they are able to charge that specifically because they do not try to compete with other semiconductors manufacturers, and they win customers loyalty by that. They also constantly keep up with the technology and are able to do 5nm chips at a very high success rate that no other chip manufacturers can. That’s why Apple can safely say they are transitioning to ARM because they know that once they have designed the chips, TSMC can make it, unlike Intel who’s been lagging behind.
@@aphenioxPDWtechnology what do you mean by model companies provide tsmc with the model and they make it for those companies
That's why I own a lot of TSMC shares!
@@aphenioxPDWtechnology That TSMC chip process
@@aphenioxPDWtechnology , support is a mess ? Support across the foundry service industry is pretty much the same, but I would venture out to say TSMC's is above average. But no other foundry can deliver on-time like TSMC does( once they commit to a PO) with their consistent yield & quality performance most times and the short time to reach expected yield for new devices. People queued up to be a customer of TSMC. It's not official but TSMC is so good they can afford to select who they want as a customer. People felt proud & privileged to be selected by TSMC and wears it like a badge of honor.
I can understand the frustration if the service response is sometimes not up to one's expectation, but one also has to reflect on one's stature vs the biz volume with TSMC esp if one is among TSMC's smallest customer. Lets be realistic not everyone gets treated the same. I'm you sure if you're among the Apples, AMDs, Qcoms, nVidias the feeling of being a TSMC customer will be different. As for TSMC monopolising
Why this ending so abruptly? Even porn have some closing in it,
Yea that Taiwanese lady could've at least squirted at us for closure.
What is wrong with you?

Nice trailer , content when ?
Great technology ...
haha relate much the airshower and the cleanroom suit
Wow, totally underdressed for this. I keep expecting Mick to pop out from behind a CAD machine.
Good Nice program
this may seem like a dumb question... but why don't we just make the cpus bigger? instead of trying to cram so much in such little space? just make the whole thing a little bigger?
Brainchip is a company which has made a product named Akida. If you are reading this, you should check it out. Pretty cool stuff.
Hm, it must be very loud inside these fabs with all the machinery running and the air venting everywhere to keep particles out (even the floor has holes for it).
I cant imagine working there
It's loud in the fab, a lot hotter than it is loud though. I'm a contractor and we have to work under the floor of the fab while wearing the clean suits and it's ass sometimes lmao
Feels more like a portal game to me.
Protect our Customer information.
more likely Apple, AMD and soon Intel with it's i3

Can I get in one of your cleanrooms to place the screen protector on my smartphone? Thanks!
J D it’s easy to build one by your self
you just need the HEPA filter with some tubs and a box
@@jessishandsome I have one (Sharp-a80u). That sucks. LOL
If you need I can tell you how to build one haha
No
Through these recorded content like this i just came to know that dust can detoriate process but not any information about core tech used to build chips😅
please construct a factory TSMC in China and România, Transilvania
TSMC is very interesting.
Great, make me a 3080 please 😂
Can you hurry up production? I want my camaro to be built this summer

Not really...
all the devices are connected !!!
It's not even in Taipei. It's close to 50 miles south of Taipei.

China's like.... it boutta be mine tho
With 3 nanometers around the corner, we are quickly running out of space. Once we reach the size of an atom then we hit a wall
The ending was pretty 1984.
Acer, HTC, TSMC, what else

They manufacture the ARM chip. Designed in Britain by the Acorn computers team.
2:55 And here is a company that considers "Apple" a customer
Apple is by far their largest customer. Book 30-40% of their capacity years in advance
Are they making LA 4440 IC 🤔 must reply please
They had to figure out and build every single one of those machines before they ever even had the microchip and knew if it worked... just how
As an engineer that's the part of engineering that blows my mind on a daily basis. Building the machines that build the machines.
Watching from INDIA 🇮🇳
Taiwan NO.1!!!
can we reuse tech scraps to obtain semiconductors? Why there's still no recycling of tech?
Why are they etched onto a circular substrate? The chips are cut off around the edges?
The wafers are cut from cylindrical single Si crystals, hence the circular shape. Some yield is naturally lost during manufacturing due to to process variations related to the higher surface area/volume factor closer to the edge of the wafer, so even a square wafer would have some losses at the periphery.
Also if a square wafer is produced, it still has to be trimmed from a circular wafer
