Couldn't this pose a case to force TSMC to open their IP?
It's a genuine question - because they're in such a crucial industry, and they're taking sizes based on order volume, damaging other businesses?
- melff 5y agoI don't think Taiwan is too keen on breaking TSMC's monopoly, not to mention all the other international politics around this.
- fundad 5y agoChips are critical, the highest value new process chips are not as much. AMD and Qualcomm’s PR departments want you to think otherwise.
- LdSGSgvupDV 5y agoI don't think that would work. Even if they open their IP. Who would like to put billions of money into fabs for a maybe 2-3 years of shortage? How to guarantee this would success? How to cover the cost after shortage? There are plenty of crucial industries. Lots of them are in US, Europe, and Japan. Would they open their IP? No. The only way to break that situation is starting the war commercially or physically just like how US bullied Japan in 80s and China right now.
