IT Home October 10th, the United States passed a chip bill of up to US$280 billion (about RMB 1.89 trillion) in July this year, aiming to improve its own chip manufacturing capabilities. However, some things cannot be achieved by spending money alone.
Taiwan, China, stressed that TSMC has nearly 400 suppliers alone, and it is almost impossible to copy the infrastructure built by TSMC or other semiconductor companies to other places, even if it costs huge amounts of money.
Boston Consulting Corporation (BCG) previously stated that if major global semiconductor players establish their own fully self-sustaining local supply chains, it will push the overall semiconductor price to rise by 35% to 65%.
In the past five years, TSMC has been the world's leading manufacturing industry, currently owning about 55% of the global contract chip market, far higher than 40% of the oil market share of OPEC . This makes TSMC one of the most valuable companies in the world.
TSMC's 2021 annual report shows that its main raw material suppliers are international large companies, most of which are Japanese companies, mainly involving silicon wafers, chemical raw materials for process production, Huangguang process materials, special gases, chemical mechanical abrasive materials, as well as well as well-known top semiconductor process equipment, automation equipment and parts suppliers such as ASML and applied materials.
In addition, TSMC also has a necessary patent design that is deep and deep. As of May this year, TSMC's global patent applications exceeded 75,000, and more than 52,000 were approved. The number has ranked third largest patent applicant in the United States for two consecutive years. Its quality ranks first among the top 10 patent owners, and this does not include TSMC's most critical "business secret registration system".
IT Home has reported that TrendForce's latest report shows that TSMC continued to rank first in the world's largest wafer foundry in the second quarter of this year, with a market share of up to 53.4%.
