Where did you find that statement? Afaik Chang moved to Taiwan after being recruited by the ROC and having been impressed with the progress of Japanese electronics leading him to believe America was falling behind, which was a general perception most people had in the mid 80s After TI he even became the President and COO of General Instrument and before that was Vice-President of TI's semiconductor business before that, which is the highest role you can reach unless the President quits or gets fired. That's not someone being deliberately discriminated against, just someone stuck in a semiconductor role in a company that wasn't that heavily invested in Semiconductors and feeling like he needed to move somewhere else to have a bigger impact TI never really thought of Semiconductors as their primary business. Chang tried to change that, but they remained focused on hardware devices and calculators rather than semiconductor production, leading to his departure to General Instrument and shortly after to Taiwan on invitation by the ROC's president to run their state-sponsored Industrial Technology Research Institute, an opportunity few would pass because nothing is as secure and bottomless as state funds.

As a Taiwanese involved in semiconductor industry, 5:24 is a very misleading interpretation. Intel has a very different business model than TSMC. It’s a very consumer-facing company, doing both designing and manufacturing. Its profit ties heavily on its capability on launching new product to the market. TSMC only specializes in manufacturing and doesn’t launch any product. You can even say that TSMC’s chip design capability has fallen behind Intel for at least 50 years, in the sense that it doesn’t design its chip at all. Intel trades part of their chip manufacturing capability to chip design business. The differences in business model shouldn’t be interpreted as what the video intended it to be.

Regarding the chip shortage: For 4 years, I worked at a Texas-based semiconductor fabrication plant. (DUV and I-line) Our fab has been running 24/7 all throughout the pandemic. The bottleneck problem is, all 300mm wafers have to be put on a train, then a cargo ship or a plane, shipped to either China, Taiwan, Philippines, Japan, South Korea and Malaysia to be cut, then put into their final chip form, then sent back the the US, where they have to be redistributed, then installed wherever they are needed. Some are even installed on their circuit boards after this process, due to the circuitry ALSO being created overseas. There is no facility in the US, that can do this final process in a high capacity scale, nor plans to do this, because it’s cheaper to outsource to other countries. Not forgetting the fact that the machinery needed to do these complicated procedures, are all patented and built by Asian and Norwegian countries. Now, think about it pragmatically; If your country was just getting back to work from the pandemic, who do you think they would prioritize? Themselves or US (who had a president that downplayed Covid, blamed China for it in the first place AND by proxy, caused horrible crimes against citizens of any and all, Asian decent) ? I say that only because right after we had gotten shipments caught up after Trumps “tariff war” debacle (which is a tax that WE, the consumers pay) then we got hit by the pandemic. Once gain, we were having to store excess wafers due to the supply chain being backed up. We have $millions of dollars worth of chips that are STILL waiting to be sent overseas, finalized, then sent back. (Then you have factors such as excess shipping containers that are overcrowding Asian and US ports, making organization more difficult, a decrease in truck drivers, the occasional container that falls off the ship in a storm, excess fuel costs slowing down distribution, etc. Some higher end chips are flown over on cargo planes, which has also increased costs due to fuel and pilot shortages.) Y’all want faster chip production? Find a way to move final chip production stateside!!! I left that industry after witnessing poor management and poor future planning.

But again, simply short term thinking is what is doing long term damage to our economy. Not only has Biden left in place Trump's tariffs on some $300 billion of Chinese goods; this week, he threatened to triple a 7.5% tariff rate on China steel and aluminum to 25%. So if you're not in favor of Trumps tariffs, Biden will possibly triple-down on it.

And also because they were facing minimal competition from AMD so could afford to get stuck for years, that is until AMD fought back with Zen/Epyc.

I spent over 25 years at Intel and I have a slightly different perspective. Intel has a "copy exactly" philosophy when it comes to their fabs. All are identical. Intel simply couldn't get enough EUV machines to handle their leading edge capacity needs and they couldn't run different versions of their process in different fabs. So they chose to use a different lithography technique across all fabs. It's called multi patterning and it didn't work so well. Their mistake was in not running what's called a small "boutique" process line to get experience with EUV until they could get sufficient machines. Also the chips TSMC was making were much smaller is size and therefore they could take the hit of lower yields. The smaller the die the higher the yield at a given defect density. So they could get up to speed faster and still ship volume to their customers. It was a hard lesson for Intel but I think they are on their way back to process leadership. Only time will tell.

Multi-patterning has been around for years, and most companies are doing it. It pre-dates mass produced EUV by several years. I think you guys started using it with the 14nm node, which far pre-dates EUV which was first used by Samsung for the 7nm node. It's also used a lot for NAND as well. On the Intel side, EUV was first introduced with Intel 4 (formerly 7nm). Whether there were discussions about using it for 10nm (aka Intel 7) I don't know. But reports that have leaked over time about the difficulties (and the 10nm being close to 5 years late) seem to indicate that they were being too aggressive in scaling as well as the issues surrounding the use of cobalt for some layers instead of the traditional liner + copper. I'm sure management and spending didn't help, but it kinda seemed like you guys had ran yourself into a hole and had to just keep digging.

AMD would follow this selling their fab business(now GlobalFoundries) and focus on design and software as well, netting them the deal with sony playstation which is also seeking to get out of making their own hardware. the entire TSMC business is build on outsourcing chip production, if the outsource model isn't superior, it would not have been so dominate, yet it is also misleading to amusing outsource number are the entire chip industry, obiviously intel and many chinese companies that build inhouse are not accounted for.

Now that TSMC and Samsung have to develop their own quadruple patterning, Intel is catching up.

It's a classic story of greed and outsourcing manufacturing to pay lower wages where possible. Intel thought they were big enough to sit on top without innovating until smartphone technology swooped in and demonstrated better performance than Intel PCs. There would be no significant improvements on the CPUs each year, yet they'd charge the same if not more money for each successive product. They were probably making bank with such profit margins. Only after Apple stopped using Intel did that company begin to scramble. The writing was on the wall for Intel the last 10 years and they didn't care until Apple and TSMC built a coffin and said get in

It's a bit too late for the US, as China start to make their own High end chips starting from 7nm in 2023, then 5 - 3nm by the end of this year and possibly 2 - 1nm by 2025. Huawei spends more than 50 billion on innovations annually and has started to build Fabs for the New photon chips which are diamond based, there will be multiple layers and enough space to put everything into one 3d chip while using SHDC laser instead of electricity would mean its' hundreds times faster than the current silicone based chips, also the diamond based chips can release heat much more efficiently.

Nha, it was just Intel making cpus that was barely better than last gen for like 10 years!

TSMC overtaking Intel in CPU process size wasn't because of EUV. The first TSMC manufacturing process which overtook Intel was "N7", which was slightly denser than Intel's most advanced process at the time (10nm). N7 doesn't use EUV, it only uses DUV (Deep UV, the predecessor of EUV). However TSMC extended their lead by adopting EUV for N7+ and N6, which were enhancements of the N7 process; while Intel stayed on DUV for "Intel 7", which is what they called their enhanced version of 10nm. Intel will use EUV for their next-gen "Intel 4" process, but TSMC is already making chips (Apple M3) on an "N3" process which is significantly denser. Intel 10nm was a complete disaster, which ended up taking about twice as long to develop as Intel planned, while also being much less reliable and more expensive than expected. Meanwhile, TSMC N7 progressed faster and performed better than most people expected, resulting in Intel competing against AMD's 3rd generation of processors built on N7 (Ryzen 5000-series) with 11th gen Core CPUs built on Intel's old 14nm process from 2014, with half as many cores and double the power usage, for most of 2021, until Intel finally got 12th gen CPUs built on the Intel 7 process out.

nice way to spell China

Here in the US, CEO's are keenly focused on the current quarter's EPS target, NOT the long-term. Same with US politicians, they only focus on the current Election cycle. Further, a US politician that has ZERO business experience and has collected a government paycheck for +40 years should just stay out of the way.

We are in between the very small and very large.

Yellen: despite we ban the export of chips to China, China must not make their own chips, it will put American companies in a disadvantage position 😂

It costs 200 million dollars , it is not necessary for the millions of helpful things IC's do to improve our lives , it really is only needed for things that are making our lives worse AI , Bots , "beauty filters" , mass surveillance , etc.. We should have one to allow scientists to study things that require their capability. and instead spend the money on making repairable , maintainable , long life electronics that are also easily recyclable after a 50+ year useful life.

what really irks me is that corporate America has no problem taking billions in government subsidies and handouts (your tax dollars), whilst stubbornly refusing to pay their fair share in taxes 🤷‍♂. It's socialism for the rich and brutal capitalism for everyone else.

those are, but asml makes more and more, you know, things keep moving forward, the keep selling and more fabs are being made on more places, you, know, because you shouldnt put all your eggs in one basket

Just the fact that this technology exists blows my mind. I can’t even wrap my head around what goes into this.

From what I (poorly) understand, US has got some of the best silicon mines, and we previously were being highly inefficient by sending it to other countries to be turned into semiconductors. This was being done for both economic and power limiting purposes. It should all be drawn back into internal borders and shored up for national defense.

It's the same old story, get the base product manufactured cheaply and then import it for sale at top dollar.
