The more they enter the high-end process, these traditional global semiconductor packaging and testing plants (OSAT) gradually show their weaknesses – they are no longer able to enjoy the previous advantages in the field of high-end semiconductor process.

Rapidus will be TSMC’s strongest rival in the future
Rapidus is a chip foundry supported by the Japanese government. It has been given only one mission–to revitalize Japan’s semiconductor industry, which was once the world’s number one but was strangled by the United States.
Mong-Song Liang, the hero of SMIC’s breakthrough in US blockade
Almost all Taiwan’s media circles label Mong-Song Liang a traitor, which I really disagree with. History will give Mong-Song Liang a fair justice. He is the biggest contributor of Samsung’s 14nm, SMIC’s 20nm, 14nm, 7nm, 5nm and beyond
TSMC gets emerging and serious challenges
TSMC gets serious crises, there is only one major crisis for TSMC in the future, and that is “geopolitics”. And I personally think the situation is very bad for TSMC
The gap between China and US, is all China-made software and hardware possible?
The technology gap between China and US, On 5/6/2022, there was a news report that Beijing ordered central government agencies, state-owned enterprises and government-related enterprises or institutions to replace the currently used foreign brand computers with domestic equipment.
Yield rate comparison of SMIC, Rapidus, TSMC, Samsung, Intel’s advanced process
Comparison of advanced process yield rates between TSMC, Samsung and Intel: Numbers of advanced process yield rates Samsung’s advanced process yield rates are very poor and are not at the same level as TSMC. Perhaps we should say that TSMC is so good that it has brought the yield rate of advanced processes close to the yield rate of TSMC’s mature processes. This is a rare ability. Intel has never publicly announced its process yield.
Global semiconductor chip market in detail, big dominators and markets
Mastering the flow of products and market conditions is the fastest way to understand the industry. The semiconductor wafer industry is no different.
ASML, who dominate TSMC’s fate
only ASML produces advanced extreme ultraviolet exposure (EUV) equipment. EUV is the essential key to enter the advanced process below 10nm.
