As Europe and the United States have shown their attitude towards DaMao, more and more countries and enterprises have begun to follow the trend and adopt sanctions against Damao. On Friday, it took a wait-and-see approach to TSMC, but finally determined its position and announced the adoption of blockade measures against Damao. This means that Damao's foundry business in high-end chips is likely to be cut off. However, Da Mao did not seem to care about TSMC's blockade and did not respond to it. This makes many people wonder, DaMao neither has an EUV lithography machine, nor can he create a high-end chip, why not be afraid of the blockade of TSMC?
TSMC's blockade is not painful at all
In fact, TSMC's blockade of Da Mao is completely "self-inflicted humiliation.". The development of the semiconductor industry in Damao is particularly polarized. In the field of chips used in the field of defense, the development of semiconductor technology in Damao is not weaker than that of any country. However, in the civilian field, Da Mao is obviously somewhat "left behind". The research and development and manufacturing of Damao's consumer-grade chips are basically still in the "flood stage". Although Da Mao has been trying to chase, but has always achieved little effect, so Da Mao began to completely become "Buddhist", not to make a consumer-grade chip at all, directly buy the finished terminal.
A gamble of fate
Before the emergence of integrated circuits, electronic components are only transistors and electron tubes, and "both hands must be grasped" is easy to fall into the embarrassing situation of not being able to specialize in both. Civilian chips need to consider portability and material costs, so everyone hopes that the chip can be as small as possible, and the advantage of transistors is that they can control the chip volume through the improvement of manufacturing process and design capabilities. Therefore, transistors are widely used in the field of civilian chips. On the tens of tons of tanks and rockets, such "excellence" is a bit of a chicken rib.
Da Mao has long abandoned transistors that perform better in the civilian field, but have no way to work under electromagnetic pulses, focusing on the research and development of larger and more complex tube technologies. And this big gamble eventually led to Da Mao missing the golden age of chip technology accumulation, but at the same time it was also exchanged for the guarantee of hard power. Da Mao gave up his mobile phone and computer in exchange for firepower, and for Da Mao, who "does not obey and does it", such a trade-off is obviously worth it.
TSMC is adding drama to itself
In short, in terms of national defense, Da Mao has completely abandoned the transistor, and has completely concentrated his energy on the tube route, and basically does not need the help of TSMC in technology, and his mentality is not at ease. On the civilian side, DaMao's civilian chips are even the decline of the electronics industry, and this is the result that Damao was ready to accept when he made a choice a few years ago. Therefore, for Da Mao, it is better to make chips than to buy terminals, TSMC tubes heaven and earth, but also on the tube of Da Mao to do business with terminal manufacturers? To sum up, Da Mao does not care about TSMC, it is indeed because he does not care at all.
Russia has the strength to impose counter-sanctions on TSMC
And that's not all, Da Mao is an important exporter of rare materials, involving rare materials such as neon, krypton, xenon, palladium, scandium and helium. Not only the reserves are amazing, but also the quality is excellent. Taking neon gas as an example, many people know that "Ermao" is the world's largest neon exporter, occupying 70% of the global market share, but such achievements are the result of cooperation between Damao and Ermao, the work undertaken by Ermao is purification, and production and mining are the work of Damao. Therefore, if You wait for Da Mao to idle, TSMC, who forcibly added drama to himself, is afraid that he will suffer. (Huo Hao)
"Da Mao" does not have a high-end lithography machine, and civilian chips rely on imports, so why not be afraid of TSMC sanctions
TSMC forcibly added drama, to cut off the supply of "big hair" chips, big hair: you wait for me to idle
