Thanks! I spotted UMC's juicy dividend and needed to learn about UMC. You made it easy.

UMC's IC Packaging Substrate division, Unimicron, has actually done better interns of growth and technical innovation in its space although not as innovative as Japan's Shinko. Both are key strategic suppliers of Intel, Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm and other high performance chip companies using Flip-Chip packaging.

My guess is … probably … look at how long it takes to catch up. Then consider even if TSMC slowed down their technology advances, they still would have a huge economic advantage because they would have recovered all costs of building their fab factories. They could sell at a competitive price even if competing against lower cost labor in a new fab that needs to recoup factory construction costs.

incredible vid dude

Here in the UK we once had a semiconductor industry but it was all wasted by the r-soles that have passed for our government. Now all we have are "piddly" little companies making a few chips for niche markets.

Why did the Taiwanese Government as well as UMC and TSMC allow Morris Chang to serve as the Chairman for both Semi-Conductor Companies in the very beginning. Everyone should have known, from the start, that it would be a huge CONFLICT OF INTEREST for Morris to be Chairman for both UMC and TSMC.

Another excellent vid, I learned a lot of history from it, about how Taiwan so intelligently grew their semiconductor industry. Jeez, though, the technology transfer from UMC was tragic, given the current state of the world 🙁 The fine and probation were just a tiny slap on the wrist, relative to the magnitude of what they did. OTOH though, the figurative horse was already out of the barn at that point, and no fine or penalty could call it back. Even so, stronger measures might have been a greater incentive for others to not engage in such things :-/

One could argue that nothing IBM fabbed has been commercially successful, unless it was going in premium devices with huge profit margins like Apple products or IBM Mainframes. However, their copper technology did go into AMD's Athlon in the early 2000's and they managed to take >30% of the market in spite of Intel's monopolistic activities. It was enough of a commercial success to get Intel worried.

IMHO if AMD was more commercailly savvy and Intel did not have such a huge head start to compete against then the competition would have been very different in the 00s.

@@dianapennepacker6854 Investing in domestic nationalized arms production would be a start. It would be extremely popular with congress since you can bait both sides into voting for it by spreading the jobs far and wide in the bill, and also decentralizing our critical infrastructure in the process. This is how most procurement programs are run already, so it wouldn't even be a shift in doctrine, it'd just be one of the biggest jobs programs in American history. Biden would probably win re-election in 2024 if he ran on the program's benefits, and anyone who voted against it probably wouldn't make it past the primaries. Also it would save us a ton of money on arms manufacturing by eliminating the profit incentive. We could still pay companies like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon to do the research work for us, and then nationalize production under license, so that we save money in the long run while still protecting those high skill R&D jobs that we need people to not get rusty in. Licensing the final product would allow them to set up their own production and continue to sell internationally as well, and this would also serve to increase total production capacity in the event of a major war

Chip designs are always being "upscaled", due to rivalry among competitors, as Ecclesiastes 4:4 in the Bible says: "And I have seen how much effort and skillful work spring from rivalry between people", but which the writer of this named Solomon, king of ancient Israel (reigned 1037-998 B.C.E.), also noted that "this too is futility, a chasing after the wind." And why is "reaching for the stars" in any area "futility, a chasing after the wind" ? Because, it keeps mankind at odds with each other, disunited, with the competitive spirit placing a "wall" between various groups, creating divisive hate. Not far into the future, money will disappear, along with those who keeps pushing for the commercial realm to exist, that makes for greed, both in power and money, for Jesus said at Luke 16:9: "Also, I say to you: Make friends for yourselves by means of the unrighteous riches (or use it in a way that pleases God, whose name is Jehovah, see Isa 12:2, KJV), so that when such FAIL (at Armageddon, "the war of the great day of God the Almighty", Rev 16:14, 16), they (Jehovah and Jesus Christ) may receive you into the everlasting dwelling places (or into life everlasting, as on the paradise earth, see Ps 37:11, 29)."

TSMC faces a problem. Arizona fab is a burden. The US's plan is to rebuild competitiveness of Intel's fabs. The TSMC's process engineer job offer is $73K - $92.4K a year. The candidates have to work scheduled night shifts and weekend on-call rotations in a 24/7 high-volume manufacturing environment. The same position in Intel is $147.5k in average, and the estimated additional pay is $32,948 per year. That is, hiring one person in the US (which they will find very difficult) can hire two to three people in Taiwan. Not to mention TSMC only hires the best engineers in Taiwan. TSMC will throw billions into water, and Taiwanese down-stream companies will throw another 10 billions into water. The US will keep subsidizing Intel until it learned all technology it needed and ditch TSMC. Without subsidy, TSMC has to raise price and everything becomes more expensive.

It will be interesting to see what TSMC move to the US has in store for UMC. As the mainland gains strength, the reduced demands from US fabless companies like AMD, Apple, and Qualcomm might set back TSMC.
