As a major development direction in the field of high-end technology, chip manufacturing is also an important component industry for future technological development. Therefore, it has attracted people’s attention. Now the United States has made a big fuss about China with its advantage in the chip field. The severe suppression of companies has brought chip manufacturing technology to the top of the list of hotly debated words.
Many people are concerned about the future development of Huawei’s enterprise and are actively paying attention to every move in the chip field. It is reported that Samsung’s 5nm production line has begun construction and will compete with TSMC for orders. , So what impact does this measure have on the development of China's chip field?
As we all know, there are currently two major chip manufacturers in China, namely TSMC and SMIC. Among them, TSMC is a large chip manufacturer in China. It has developed in this field for many years and its technology is more mature and advanced, but To a certain extent, it still relies on US technical support, and it is precisely because of this that it was forced to interrupt its cooperation with Huawei.
Although SMIC has a strong momentum of development, it has a relatively short period of time. Technically, it is temporarily unable to compete with well-known companies such as TSMC and Samsung.
Therefore, it can be said to a certain extent that the current development of chip manufacturing technology in China is mainly supported by TSMC, thinking that SMIC and other younger companies will accumulate more time for development and progress, while TSMC is now in a dilemma. On the one hand, its development has been interfered by the United States and decided to go to the United States to build a factory base. On the other hand, Samsung and other companies are eager to continue to develop, which also brings a certain amount of pressure to TSMC.
According to relevant Samsung news reports, Samsung has now announced its official development in the 5-nanometer field. In addition, it also proposed to provide customers with customized business services to meet the diverse needs of customers. Nano-chip manufacturing technology is a strong advantage for TSMC to compete in the international market. If Samsung succeeds in making a breakthrough in this field, it means that TSMC’s dominant position will be affected and its market share will also decline.
According to Samsung’s corporate development plan, they will enter the 5-nanometer chip production stage in the second half of 2021, which means that Samsung will officially start competing with TSMC for orders in the 5-nanometer field. In this context, how will China’s TSMC respond?
Alright, I will introduce you here today, and see you in the next issue!
