In late October, right before the U.S. presidential election, China’s Huawei again became a hot topic in the semiconductor industry. When Huawei disassembled the artificial intelligence (AI) chipset ‘Ascend 910B’ released last year, it was revealed that it contained a 7-nano semiconductor produced by Taiwan’s TSMC.
TSMC used to produce semiconductors designed by Huawei on consignment, but stopped doing business after the United States imposed sanctions on Huawei in 2020. In such a situation, since it was confirmed that semiconductors manufactured by TSMC were used in Huawei’s AI chipset, there were concerns that a big hole might have opened in the US sanctions network.
TSMC 7-nano is an item banned from China by the United States.
