On September 23, 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce requested semiconductor manufacturers and automobile manufacturers to submit information such as sales, material and inventory status, and customer information for the last three years in order to make the situation transparent. .. 'If you don't respond to voluntary information within 45 days, there are other ways to ask for data,' said Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.
South Korean top makers Samsung and SK Hynix have already expressed concern about this matter, and at the end of September, the Taiwanese government said, 'Although we respect American commercial law and regulations, there were'unjustice demands'. If so, we will support Taiwanese companies. '
This time, TSMC's legal officer, Sylvia Fang, said, 'We are in the process of evaluating the content of the questionnaire requested by the Ministry of Commerce. 'There is absolutely no such thing.' 'Customer trust is one of the key factors in our success.'
The global semiconductor shortage continues to be severe, with the period from ordering to delivery being 20 weeks in August 2021.
