As American consumers, we need US manufactured advanced chips at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, the cost of producing logic chips in US is almost double of that in Taiwan. TSMC has decades of owning and running a chip plant in Camas, Washington State. It never achieved the cost competitiveness comparable to those TSMC fab plants in Taiwan. Thinking of US manufactured chips as imposing a 100% custom duties on foreign supplied chips. We cannot tolerate this cost increase. The best way is to ensure continuous chip supply is to protect Taiwan from Chinese aggressions.
Look at Russia-Ukraine war. Three years, no end in sight. If US relied on Taiwanese production and China started war in Taiwan- how can US sustain years of war without chips? Having domestically produced chips increases US robustness in case of war and removes incentive for China to decapitate Taiwanese chips production thus reducing US military capability to using whatever is in stockpiles with no hopes for new production of weapons. And I disagree with the logic “everything is cheaper overseas, so let’s just forget about US manufacturing”
It's double here because in part: 1. Cheaper labor 2. Fabs overseas typically are foundry, meaning they don't innovate chip, they just innovate mfg'ing 3. I also believe more gov't investment in the sector. However, the might of TSMC sure isn't hidden, Laid off 13 years ago in part because we couldn't compete with TSMC's mfg'ing costs. Minimum 8 years before being laid off that we competed in mfg'ing costs with asian fabs. I feel the gov't needs to invest in advanced fabs in America, not build them for these multibillion $$ companies but fund innovation to give to these companies to USE but not charge for to make chips.
100% correct. The personnel cost alone is 2 to 3 times that of Taiwan. With the same salary, you can hire a person with 5~10 years of experience in Taiwan, but in the United States, you may only be able to hire someone who has just graduated from university, Taiwanese engineers are burning themselves to help companies grow, work late and on call 24/hrs, plus cooperation industry, costs will continue to increase, due to United States does not have the same industrial chain.
tsmc chips are very durable. My Samsung mobile phone uses tsmc, as does the ps5 game console. I used to use Samsung chips when using the iPhone 6s, but if used for too long, it would overheat and consume a lot of power.
Taiwan is an island country that was once almost forgotten by the world. TSMC’s entrepreneurial spirit is in line with the characteristics of Taiwanese people: low-key realism and the pursuit of integrity in business principles. Taiwanese people always make good career achievements quietly.
I lived and studied in Taiwan in 1990s. At the time, no countries or major international news media paid attention to Taiwan. I remember during those years, Taiwan advertised in many international newspapers about the bid to join UN. Even when a low level under secretary or minister made a low level visit to Taiwan, it became local major headlines. Only after Covid year in 2020 amid chips shortage crisis, then Taiwan has became centre of world attention.
It is remarkable that one man ignited such huge industry in a developing country and succeeded being a global monopoly to this day. More remarkable is the fact that no other developed country was able to at least imitate this but instead they prefer to politicize and militarize the matter.
@@jennychuang808 now it is but Taiwan changed from a traditional agriculture society into an industrialized modern country within roughly one century. This fast development was regarded as a model for developing countries. If you need more information I can recommend you to read the "State and Society in the Taiwan Miracle" by Thomas B. Gold first published in 1986 one year before TSMC was founded to better understand the context.
Every Crysis player in 2007 could have already told you then how important microprocessors are and how we needed better and more chips. Like in Dune, the chips must flow.
Before the United States or other countries cannot copy or surpass TSMC, the only thing that can be done is to protect Taiwan from being invaded by China. This is the most clearly explained content about chips that I have seen recently. I am proud to be a member of the semiconductor industry in Taiwan and the United States.
I live 10 minutes from that new factory off the 303. Seeing that thing built so fast was insane. Now fab 2 is under construction and due online next year and fab 3 is now on hold due to presidential changes and TSMC being leary of additional chips act funding. They built a cement factory out there and multiple new industrial facilities including a gas production plant (gas, not fuel/petrol) and now the desert on the south side of the 303 is set to be a massive housing community of stores and shops that is current state land being auctioned off the likely Pulte homes. And many more communities now growing like wildfire out in the north phoenix/peoria desert!
The development of semiconductor manufacturing today involves more than just knowledge and equipment; it also encompasses cultural environment, social resources, national values, and industry culture. This is evidenced by the different production capabilities of Intel, Samsung, and TSMC, despite having similar equipment and technological knowledge. If Taiwan were to be invaded by the Chinese government, its current state would be destroyed, and the world would lose the 90% of advanced semiconductor capacity that relies on Taiwan. This impact goes beyond Taiwan's security, posing a threat to the normal development and survival of the entire world.
An advanced wafer fab requires an investment of at least 20 billion US dollars. This is a national-level investment. There is no guarantee of success. Be prepared for a 6-year loss.
Great video! If only the video included a little as to why Intel has been struggling recently, I think it would tie in perfectly and further explain the power struggles on a new industry
I worked in Taiwan microchips industry for 15yrs now. People might think Samsung/Intel can just make their own fabs to take the bulk of this industry from TSMC. But what they don't know TSMC don't care about making more chips, they specialize the YIELD of those chips! lol! Intel gave up on making these chips decades ago because they could not make the yield profitable. Imagine making 5pcs of bread each piece cost $1 to make and after baking 1pc got burned, and because customers only buy and pay for the good bread you already lost revenue by each bad-bread you produced. That is why TSMC call it 5nm-process, 2nm-process because its all about recipe and technique in making those chips to make sure during testing at least 90% of those chips are good in order to profit in making it.
This video clip will be more informative by incorporating the importance of advanced chips on artificial intelligence and high permanence calculations for military applications. If the impacts are just on cellphones and cars, US would not launched this industry policy.

Taiwan uses semiconductors as a weapon against China. By attacking Taiwan, the global supply of semiconductors would undoubtedly be disrupted. This is similar to when Russia invaded Ukraine, which caused a disruption in the global wheat supply. For this reason, China wants to build its own semiconductor companies, as does the United States. The goal is to ensure that the global supply of semiconductors is no longer vulnerable to disruption. On the other hand, this development would weaken Taiwan’s leverage against China, while the world would no longer need to focus on Taiwan. This diminishes Taiwan's strategic importance.

all I want 2 say is that if I was R2D2..... I would be so happy as soon as I will have many brother and sisters..... Oh and BTW very nice and interesting documentary! THANKS!
This is visibly an old documentary, and it's quite naive in several respects. And quite misinformed. It's important to note that there are two major components that China doesn't have, apart from the know-how (that they try to get by luring TSMC's employees): photolithography and chip design software. Contrary to what the documentary claims, ASML doesn't produce chips; they make the best photolithography machines that TSMC and other fabs need to make their chips (and no, ASML doesn't only sell to the top 3 fabs; they have a lot of other customers). The major design software vendors aren't Chinese, either, and it's mandatory to make chips, too. Something else to know is that those fabs are exponentially costly, so they need a worldwide customer base to support the daily cost of operating them, let alone build new fabs for the upcoming technology nodes. If China invades Taiwan, not only will they miss the support for the next nodes, but their market will be reduced to China (on the brink of bankruptcy), Russia (not better), and a few other minor players. It's simply not sustainable. It wouldn't be the end of the world for the West, either. It'd be sad not to have the latest nodes, but it's perfectly possible to save money and live with older ones. I don't understand why the documentary is so obsessed with microprocessors. TSMC and the other fabs build all sort of chips, like NVIDIA's GPUs. And more importantly memories, that are also a key component. The (obviously old) part on Intel's new fab is funny, too. They're in such a bad situation right now that one may wonder if they were the best choice for such investments.
Another thing, I don't feel safer because TSMC is building plants in the US. That country managed to elect a troll once again (and the only competition was limited to a senile man until he finally stepped down). At this point, I'm not sure it'll be a much better prospect for Europe and other parts of the world than China.
I am sorry. By asking TSMC to build a fab in Arizona, and Intel building a fab in Ohio, the USA is basically abandoning Taiwan. It is signaling to China, that China can have Taiwan.
Not to add on, but only Taiwan has the access to skilled labor to make the most advanced chips. They will never be replaceable…..at least not for a long time. That’s also a kudos to Taiwan’s people. Not many countries have the workers with the advanced education, training, attention to detail, and work ethnic to make what they do replicable on other regions of the world.
One thing I don’t understand. Who was the inventor of silicon chip? Af far as I know Intel was always at the frontline with their chips. Why is the manufacturing is setup on the other said of the planet?
Tens of billions of dollars trying to relocate established well-calibrated highly-sensitive production lines from Taiwan to other locations... I wonder what kind of military power could be built around Taiwan to secure the island using that same amount of money or less...
TSMC has finalized plans to build seven advanced chip factories in Taiwan, producing 2-nanometer and 1.6-nanometer chips that are two generations ahead of the global competition. The total investment amounts to nearly US$300 billion. TSMC makes enough profit to cover its capital every six months. Only semiconductor companies that make significant profits can afford to invest US$300 billion in building new, more advanced chip manufacturing plants. Do TSMC's competitors have the capability to invest US$300 billion in building new, more advanced chip factories? If not, then TSMC will continue to lead! Having money and leading technology are guarantees of never being defeated!
Intel CEO just got outed on his golden parachute due to their falling profit... lol INTEL also building the latest state of the art next gen fab in Chandler AZ, south of Phoenix, in the same valley

Then it will surpass Intel. Although Intel is doing the same thing
The supply chain in Taiwan is the most critical key of the manufacturing process. yes, TSMC is the most important and biggest one, yet there are many many companies that cooperating with TSMC are inescapable, like IC testing and packaging. And this supply chain is very mature, that is the reason why other countries like Korea, Japan or USA can't simply copy another TSMC on its own. How can we prove the statement above? take Samsung and intel as an example, they are buying the exactly same EUV machines from ASML, but they just not able to build the same quality of chips or price competitiveness as TSMC's.

身為一個台灣人，我的想法是：如果美國想要擁有完全在美國制造的晶片，不說在美國建廠的成本很高了，在美員工的薪資報酬就會低於行業水準，還必須輪班，更必須要隨傳隨到，如果美國人能接受，那確實可以完全做到美國製造！
之所以這個生意當初能被台灣拿去做，並能做成功，不就是因為當初的美國人並不認同這種模式嗎？
張忠謀先生當初是先向德州儀器提出他的晶圓代工構想，德州儀器不同意，他才回台灣創業的，而這麼多年來，美國不只一次想讓台積電去美設廠，張忠謀考查後都沒同意，這就說明了在美生產晶片是多不符合成本的事情了！
事實上，連在日本生產晶片的成本都比在台灣高，前陣子的新聞報導，日本人也不願意加班的！
我甚至可以這麼說，正是因為台灣的國際處境艱難，所以台灣人才會願意以低於行業的薪資，又要加班輪班，又要隨傳隨到，以這種條件去從事半導體這種高科技產業。
而台灣之所以能越來越成功，我認為是態度問題，以半導體行業來說，對於其他的先進發達國家，如美國，日本，韓國又或是歐洲來說，那最多只是國運之戰，但對台灣來說，這是生死之戰，是字面意義的生死，如果台灣不能在自己的支柱產業持續領先，台灣就會變得不重要，而台灣一但不重要，中國的軍隊就過來了，到時在中國人身上發生的一切，都會在台灣人身上發生！
態度不同，動力也不同，自然結果也會不同，我是這樣想的！

Contrary to what the documentary claims, ASML doesn't produce chips; they make the best photolithography machines that TSMC and other fabs need to make their chips (and no, ASML doesn't only sell to the top 3 fabs; they have a lot of other customers). The major design software vendors aren't Chinese, either, and it's mandatory to make chips, too. Something else to know is that those fabs are exponentially costly, so they need a worldwide customer base to support the daily cost of operating them, let alone build new fabs for the upcoming technology nodes. If China invades Taiwan, not only will they miss the support for the next nodes, but their market will be reduced to China (on the brink of bankruptcy), Russia (not better), and a few other minor players. It's simply not sustainable. It wouldn't be the end of the world for the West, either. It'd be sad not to have the latest nodes, but it's perfectly possible to save money and live with older ones.
I don't understand why the documentary is so obsessed with microprocessors. TSMC and the other fabs build all sort of chips, like NVIDIA's GPUs. And more importantly memories, that are also a key component.
The (obviously old) part on Intel's new fab is funny, too. They're in such a bad situation right now that one may wonder if they were the best choice for such investments.
Another thing, I don't feel safer because TSMC is building plants in the US. That country managed to elect a troll once again (and the only competition was limited to a senile man until he finally stepped down). At this point, I'm not sure it'll be a much better prospect for Europe and other parts of the world than China.
I am sorry. By asking TSMC to build a fab in Arizona, and Intel building a fab in Ohio, the USA is basically abandoning Taiwan. It is signaling to China, that China can have Taiwan.
You need to improve your common sense
The US factory is 5 nanometers All 3nm and 2nm fabs have at least 10 fabs in Taiwan
Not to add on, but only Taiwan has the access to skilled labor to make the most advanced chips. They will never be replaceable…..at least not for a long time. That’s also a kudos to Taiwan’s people. Not many countries have the workers with the advanced education, training, attention to detail, and work ethnic to make what they do replicable on other regions of the world.
One thing I don’t understand. Who was the inventor of silicon chip? Af far as I know Intel was always at the frontline with their chips. Why is the manufacturing is setup on the other said of the planet?
Morris Chang said that the US produces more innovators. But the average American is useless, they can't manufacture their inventions.
Need more American Fab factories 🇺🇸
Tens of billions of dollars trying to relocate established well-calibrated highly-sensitive production lines from Taiwan to other locations... I wonder what kind of military power could be built around Taiwan to secure the island using that same amount of money or less...

Free.
TSMC has finalized plans to build seven advanced chip factories in Taiwan, producing 2-nanometer and 1.6-nanometer chips that are two generations ahead of the global competition. The total investment amounts to nearly US$300 billion. TSMC makes enough profit to cover its capital every six months. Only semiconductor companies that make significant profits can afford to invest US$300 billion in building new, more advanced chip manufacturing plants. Do TSMC's competitors have the capability to invest US$300 billion in building new, more advanced chip factories? If not, then TSMC will continue to lead! Having money and leading technology are guarantees of never being defeated!
a matter of sanctions, without sanctions, TSMC is nothing.
Intel CEO just got outed on his golden parachute due to their falling profit... lol INTEL also building the latest state of the art next gen fab in Chandler AZ, south of Phoenix, in the same valley
To get just 1️⃣ company they will go war...paradox is funny

No technology would understand humans.
You look at the Chinese office environment they they work and it's like something out of the 80's/90's. Stale and not conducive to creativity or health.
The Chinese style of centralized control will keep stifling creativity and pure innovation
microprocessors are eaqual to oil
A lot of people dont know that all chips are designed in the US and they are processed and finish in taiwan
then the Chip(s) are sent to China PRC for the Chinese manufacturing of goods use worldwide from 1980-2022.
Today, with the support & thanks of USA gov. the Chinese manufacture no longer depend on TSMC nor Intel designer for New Chinese Manufacture have taking up the service space with China PRC support.
By 2025, all OEM product from worldwide will not carry TSMC nor USA chip product in Chinese Mfr. product.
TSMC, since 2022 have lost it's largest client of their manufacturing chips, thanks to USA support.

The United States is the number one chip design company, followed by Taiwan. MediaTek is a Taiwanese company.
Good job Arizona, good job Arizona governor. 👏 bravo, thats how you run the state well done
Never bow to China Taiwan Philippines support you💪

Most regular non tech familiar folks don't know tsmc as opposed to say intel or nvidia.
Chips think building factory

What I gathered from this documentary about USA, it's about everyone else losing and USA staying on top.
Sending love and hugs from the USA 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
ASML is NOT the US !
Masters of the universe 😂
16:15
The impact of ASML on all of this should have at least been mentioned I feel.
Yes. The brief mention of ASML looks almost made on purpose to hide the ultimate bottleneck of this industry
Maybe hidden if you have been living in a cave in the midwest.

what difference tsmc to china. They are very close. China forces use this. C cin pin has relate to ceo.

I usually look up your video for updates! Our government has no idea how people are suffering these days. I feel for people with disabilities not get the help they deserve. Thank you Ms catherine adriana, imagine investing $12,000 and received $203,050.
Hello, I'm a Doctor from Scotland, how do you make such amount? I'm a born
Christian but sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God.
Most people don't understand the concept of "buy the dip " buying the dip is all about buying digital assets when their prices are down and selling off when the prices rises.
I think the best way is to invest with a professional, at least you avoid the trauma of too many losses.
Mrs catherine adriana was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it and of course from adriana catherine
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United States
Taiwan is Taiwan. Period😀
Why can't we learn how to do all of it here, in America?
Because Americans cannot do low wages and high working hours, this is an advantage that Asians have
because Semiconductor industrial include huge knowledge, Physics Chemistry Electronics, EE. software, , Management of personnel and materials, management of manufacturers, and collaboration with hundreds or thousands of manufacturers, and it will need many many people from University, Master, PhD who maintain general operations and research and development. and lot of money
When tsmc builds a factory in Arizona, there will be many people studying there, and everyone will learn their part well. Then it will surpass Intel. Although Intel is doing the same thing
Without ASML and the EUV lithography machines they produce in the Netherlands, TSMC would not be able to manufacture the microchips we need.
Your saying is wrong, ASML is actually supporting by TSMC to grow up.
The supply chain in Taiwan is the most critical key of the manufacturing process. yes, TSMC is the most important and biggest one, yet there are many many companies that cooperating with TSMC are inescapable, like IC testing and packaging. And this supply chain is very mature, that is the reason why other countries like Korea, Japan or USA can't simply copy another TSMC on its own.
How can we prove the statement above? take Samsung and intel as an example, they are buying the exactly same EUV machines from ASML, but they just not able to build the same quality of chips or price competitiveness as TSMC's.
ASML如果沒有台積電的製程工藝，根本無法實現光刻機的使用價值，兩個是互相幫忙而已。tsmc不是一家公司，是一群供應鏈。

Hypocrite world . not looking for africa countries who suffered hunger . Gaza wars.
Not really, for BRICS+ are taking up space once Western Nation had in Africa and help African to build.

They better diversify. They are too reliant on TMC.
Chips depend on oil.

What happen if Mainland can produce its own chip? what will happen to Taiwan? Will other nations still be interested in Taiwan?
Since 2022, the USA has taking the TSMC & others out of the 1.4 Billions consumer manufacturing Market Place.
Now TSMC only have the 250 millions consumer US market to fall back on.
Remember old saying, the Customer is always Right. China PRC was TSMC Major client.
And YES, China made and found other Chip(s) manufacture to replace TSMC consumer product Chip(s).

China relies on TSMC's chips, but TSMC does not rely on Chinese customers.
TSMC is the only company in the world that can produce 2nm and 3nm chips.
TSMC's orders are scheduled until the end of 2015.
TSMC October 2024:
Revenue $ 9.671 billion (NT$314.24 billion).
Net profit $ 3.214 billion.
Thanks to Chiang Ching-kuo for building Taiwan👍
