US$150 billion needed in 5 years to catch up with TSMC: IC Insights
focustaiwan.tw, Mar. 17, 2021 –
Taipei, March 17 (CNA) As the U.S., the EU and China gear up to cultivate their own semiconductor industries, their governments will have to spend at least US$30 billion a year for five years to play catch-up with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co., according to U.S.-based market information advisory firm IC Insights.
In a research note posted on its website on Tuesday, IC Insights said that both TSMC and Samsung have taken the lead over their peers in high-end semiconductor process development, as the two have entered mass production of the sophisticated 7-nanometer process and the 5nm process.
Intel Corp., the largest U.S. semiconductor supplier, is scheduled to launch commercial production of the 7nm process in 2022, when TSMC and Samsung are expected to start mass production of the even more advanced 3nm process, IC Insights said, indicating that the U.S. firm is still lagging behind its rivals.
