I-TSMC ayinantshisekelo ekuthengweni kwempahla entsha maduze nje

Ekuqaleni kukaFebhuwari walo nyaka, iVanguard International Semiconductor (VIS) ezuziwe I-GlobalFoundries inesikhungo sase-Singapore Fab 3E esicubungula ama-silicone wafers angu-200mm ngemikhiqizo ye-MEMS. Kamuva wavuka Kunamahlebezi amaningi mayelana nentshisekelo kwezinye izimpahla ze-GlobalFoundries ezivela kubakhiqizi baseShayina noma inkampani yaseNingizimu Korea i-Samsung, kodwa abameleli balaba baphika ngenkani yonke into.

Unalesi simo engqondweni, omele uMorgan Stanley ubuze i-CEO u-CC Wei ocingweni lwe-TSMC lwemali engenayo lwekota mayelana nentshisekelo yenkampani yokuzuza amabhizinisi amasha ngaphandle kwase-Taiwan. Impendulo evela enhlokweni ye-TSMC yayine-laconic ngokwedlulele: "Azikho izinhlelo ezinjalo manje." U-Wei wanezela ngokushesha ukuthi uma uhlobo oluthile lokuthengiselana luvela emkhathizwe oluhlangabezana nezithakazelo zesu le-TSMC, khona-ke umuntu angacabanga ngokuthenga izimpahla futhi amunce ezinye izinkampani, kodwa azikho izinhlelo ezinjalo esikhathini esizayo esiseduze.

I-TSMC isalokhu ingumnikazi wamasheya we-VIS, ngakho-ke yabamba iqhaza ngokungaqondile ekuthathweni kwenkampani yaseSingapore i-GlobalFoundries, eyazuza njengefa ku-Chartered Semiconductor ngo-2009. Ngonyaka odlule, i-GlobalFoundries yaphoqeleka ukuthi ivume ukuthi yayishiya ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe be-7nm. “Umjaho wezikhali we-lithographic” ubize kakhulu kumlingani omkhulu we-AMD, kwathi ngemuva kokuthengiswa kwe-Fab 3E ku-VIS, izingxoxo mayelana nokwenzeka kokuqhubeka nokuthuthukisa ukwakheka kwempahla ye-GlobalFoundries zaba njalo.

Kodwa-ke, ku-TSMC amabhizinisi e-GlobalFoundries asele awalona iqatha elimnandi nhlobo. Umkhiqizi wezinkontileka waseTaiwan utshala imali ekwakhiweni kwamabhizinisi amasha, azoba yingcweti ekukhiqizeni imikhiqizo engu-5-nm kanye ne-3-nm eminyakeni eyishumi ezayo. Ukwenza kabusha okomunye umuntu kuvame ukuba nzima kakhulu kunokwakha owakho kusukela ekuqaleni. Ngokwaleli phuzu lokubuka, izintshisekelo ze-TSMC zisetshenziswa kangcono “ukuthuthukiswa kwezinto eziphilayo” ngokwakhiwa kwamabhizinisi amasha ngokwawo.
