According to Taiwan DIGITIMES technology network, TSMC, the leading man hour of chip generation processing, recently announced that it would expand the cost of chip generation processing. From the fourth quarter of this year, the price of advanced processes below 12 nm will be increased by 10%, and the price of mature processes above 12 nm will be increased by 20%.
The price increase of TSMC has increased again since the first price increase of TSMC from last autumn to this spring. The main reason behind this is that demand is very strong, and the secondary reason is that for the American capitalists behind TSMC, raising prices will help them make more profits.
When can domestic chip enterprises break the game?
TSMC's price rise has had a huge impact on domestic chip design enterprises. Due to the rising cost of chip generation processing, the cost of chip design companies such as Hisilicon and Ziguang has increased greatly.
In the final analysis, all this is because there is no lithography machine. The lithography machine can not be bought with money, because there is a strong interest relationship between ASML and the United States.
According to the current form, it is basically impossible for Chinese enterprises to buy lithography machines from ASML.
Then you have to make it yourself. The technology of self-made lithography machine is still difficult for domestic enterprises to break through and solve in the short term, but this does not mean that they have been unable to break through these technologies. It is believed that with the continuous exploration of domestic chip enterprises, China can realize the complete autonomy of chip design and processing in the future, and completely get rid of the dependence on foreign chips.
