1. TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou confirmed: TSMC will set up a 3-nanometer fab in the United States
Taiwan United News reported on November 21, TSMC founder Zhang Zhongmou confirmed in an interview on Monday that the current 5-nanometer plant set up in Arizona is the most advanced process in the U.S. After the first phase of the plant is set up, TSMC will set up the current most advanced 3-nanometer fab in the U.S. "However, TSMC is not likely to spread production to many places. " In addition, Zhang Zhongmou also said that he still believes that the high cost of setting up a plant in the United States, in accordance with experience at least 50% higher, but this does not exclude TSMC will move part of its production capacity to the United States, which is actually a fairly small part of TSMC, "we moved to the United States of production capacity, it can be said that in the United States no matter which company is the most advanced, which is very important to the United States, but also very need." ;
2. Samsung teamed up with U.S. companies to improve 3-nanometer yields in a bid to catch up with TSMC. Naver reported on Nov. 20 that Samsung Electronics has expanded cooperation with U.S. company Silicon Frontline Technology to improve the yield of semiconductor wafers in the production process, hoping to overtake rival TSMC. It is reported that Samsung Electronics advanced process yield is low, since the 5nm process has been a yield problem, with 4nm and 3nm, the situation has become worse, it is rumored that Samsung 3nm solution process since mass production, the yield does not exceed 20%, the mass production progress into a bottleneck.

6. the EU countries to promote 43 billion euros grant program, aiming to become a global semiconductor center
European Union countries agreed on a plan to allocate 43 billion euros ($44.4 billion) to strengthen semiconductor production in the region, clearing a key hurdle for their plans to boost the high-tech industry. The agreement was backed by EU ambassadors on Wednesday, according to people familiar with the matter. It will expand the range of chipmakers that are "first of their kind" and eligible for government assistance, without making all automotive chipmakers eligible for the funding, in line with the demands of some countries earlier this fall. The latest version of the plan also further adds safeguards for when the European Commission can trigger an emergency mechanism and intervene in a company's supply chain.
