Chapter 619 Fab War, TSMC Tragedy(1/3)

"Mad, can you still play like this!"

"If you don't talk about martial ethics, you really don't talk about martial ethics."

"We all proceed in normal iteration order, 28 nanometers-20 nanometers-16 nanometers-10 nanometers, normal. Samsung directly 28 nanometers-14 nanometers! It is directly ahead of our TSMC!"

"The most troublesome thing is that we know that Samsung is 14 nanometers ahead of our 20 nanometers, and Samsung also knows that. But ordinary users don't think so."

"Yes, ordinary users think that Samsung's 14-nanometer leads our TSMC's 20-nanometer generation and our 16-nanometer generation!"

"What a fucking sixth, Samsung's animal."

"The most important thing is that our 16-nanometer mass production is too slow, and we will have to be mass-produced in the second half of next year. Samsung's 14-nanometer mass production will be half a year earlier than us. In this way, Apple's next-generation A9 chip orders may be snatched away by Samsung!"

"Oh, this is a big problem. TSMC's 20nm and Samsung's 14nm, Apple will definitely choose Samsung."

"It's not just Apple's choice of Samsung, I guess Qualcomm wants to choose Samsung. It's just that Samsung's 14-nanometer production capacity is insufficient, so they will choose our TSMC's 20-nanometer foundry Snapdragon 810."

"Apple is just an ungrateful wolf. In order to produce A8 for Apple this year, we gave all 20-nanometer production capacity to Apple. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 orders were forced to line up until next year. But what about Apple? Seeing Samsung's 14-nanometer breakthrough, I'm afraid that all the A9 orders will be given to Samsung soon!"

"It's really a waste of raising a wolf, I can't get it well!"

The senior executives were cursing and angry:

"If there are many orders for Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, it's OK. Even if you can't grab the A9 order next year, you can still produce a 20-nanometer Snapdragon 810 in bulk!"

"What's so bad is that Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810 was severely impacted by Xingyi Technology's Kunpeng chip, and there is a high possibility of overturning, and there are not many orders at all."

"In this way, if you can't get the A9 order, there are not many orders for Snapdragon 810, then we, TSMC, will drink the northwest wind next year!"

Hearing this, Lao Zhang was sweating profusely.

This year, TSMC has goddess Apple A8 and spare tires such as Qualcomm 801. There is no problem with a little pressure, and the order is enough.

But next year, not only will the goddess Apple A9 run away with the stinky brat of Samsung, but Qualcomm's spare tire is not supported, so what's the end?

Then will TSMC drink the northwest wind next year?

Lao Zhang panicked: "Where is Huawei? Will they have new chips next year?"

"Chairman, Huawei will definitely have new chips next year, but the problem is that Huawei's chip orders have given up on our TSMC this year and turned to Xingyi Semiconductor, which adopts Xingyi Semiconductor's 28-nanometer process. Next year's chip orders will probably be given to Xingyi Semiconductor!"

Lao Zhang's mouth twitched: "..."

"Even Huawei has turned against me, isn't TSMC finished?"

"Even if our 16-nanometer process is put into production in the second half of next year, who else can use it?"

"This..." Everyone in the room was silent, and the expression on their faces was extremely solemn.

Sometimes, if you slow down one step, you will lose all the game, let alone half a year later!

This is too passive for TSMC.

"No, we can't sit still and wait for death, we must actively strive for it."

Lao Zhang slapped the table suddenly and said seriously: "The marketing department, all of them will be dispatched. Huawei, the marketing director led the team and told President Yu that the 16-nanometer process for them in the second half of next year will be used for mass production in August!"

"Okay, I guess Huawei cannot refuse such a price. After all, it has a 16-nanometer process, which is two generations stronger than the 28-nanometer of Xingyi Semiconductor."

"Yes, the 16-nanometer process will definitely win Huawei's flagship chips in the second half of next year, but this one alone is not enough."

Lao Zhang nodded: "So, Qualcomm has to go there too. In this way, the vice president leads the team to Qualcomm and must win the order for Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and use TSMC's 16-nanometer process for mass production."

"As for Apple, you can't give up. You have to send a vice president. Don't go too much, at least win one-third of the order for Apple's A9 chip next year!"

Another vice president nodded: "Since Apple encountered a supply crisis that year, it has always liked dual supply chains to ensure stability in supply. Even if the Apple A9 processor next year will use Samsung's 14-nanometer process, as long as the price we give is in place, there is hope to regain some orders."

"Yes, Apple is so large that Samsung can't afford it. And as a competitor, can Apple give all its chips to Samsung? This is our opportunity."

"Yes, there is no need to be too many. Even if there are only one-third of the orders and 40 million, it will allow us to survive next year's crisis."

Lao Zhang nodded: "That's what you do, you will do your own job and you can't have any problems."

"yes."

Lao Zhang looked around everyone and changed the subject: "Samsung, the sixth brother, make us TSMC so passive!"

The vice president also looked angry: "Samsung is so damn. But I don't understand. Samsung, which has always been behind, can't even understand 20 nanometers. Why can it suddenly be able to handle 14 nanometers? It will be mass production at the end of the year?"

Others also spoke:

"Yes, I also wondered about this problem. Samsung's 14-nanometer mass production at the end of the year means that Samsung's 14-nanometer process has been successfully trial production at present, but the yield rate is not high, and it is also necessary to continuously improve the yield rate before mass production."

"The problem is, we haven't even finished 20 nanometers. How could Samsung overtake on the curve and test production of 14 nanometers? Is it a cheat?"

"That's right, we can't handle 16 nanometers, how can they handle 14 nanometers? Where did the technology come from this Lao Liu?"

"It goes without saying that it must be Lao Liang! Without Lao Liang, Samsung is bullshit. With Lao Liang, I have made 14 nanometers, which is one generation ahead of us!"

Lao Zhang said viciously, his fists clenched, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Old Liang, FinFET technology!"

"So that's it." Everyone suddenly realized:

"The FinFET process is the key to whether it can break through the process process below 20 nanometers. FinFET was invented by Mr. Hu, the teacher of Mr. Liang. Mr. Liang is not only familiar with him, but also made outstanding contributions!"

"Yes, with Lao Liang here, it would be normal for Samsung to break through the 14-nanometer process."

Lao Zhang sighed: "The FinFET process is the core of 14/16 nanometers. If you can solve the FinFET process, it will have a bright future. It focuses on high-end OEM and makes money. If it cannot be solved, it will only struggle in the fields of 28nm and 20nm, and will only be abandoned by the times!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded:

"Yes, our 20nm will only be mass-produced in April this year. It is logical that it should be the world's most advanced technology. Customers such as Apple, Qualcomm, and Huawei are all requesting it and actively delivering orders. But because Samsung will mass-produce 14nm chips by the end of the year, our 20nm process is directly behind! Several major customers have abandoned us, it's really damn!"

"There is no way, the competition in the semiconductor field is so cruel. I just didn't expect that after Lao Liang joined Samsung, Samsung made such a big progress."

"I would say something I don't like to hear. If I had known today, why should I have to be there in the past!"

"If you force Lao Liang away and force him to go to Samsung, let alone 14 nanometers, Samsung won't even understand 20 nanometers."

"That's right, if Lao Liang is still at TSMC and mass-produces 14-nanometer process by the end of the year, it will be ours!"

"With him here, our 16 nanometers don't have to wait until the second half of next year, and it will be enough by the end of this year. But unfortunately..."

"Let a great help and become an enemy is the biggest mistake we make."

...

Everyone talked and regretted it.

However, Lao Zhang's expression became extremely ugly, and he wanted to curse himself even more.

The responsibility lies with him, the chairman of TSMC.

Before, Lao Zhang abdicated, but it is said that the position of the head of TSMC should be passed on to Mr. Liang, who has made great contributions to TSMC!

But Lao Zhang just likes to be loyal to his own temper and Mr. Liang's mortal enemy Lao Jiang.

He passed the position of president of TSMC to Lao Chiang, and even lowered the Liang Lao to the open and secretly, and put the underworld.

How could Mr. Liang stand this anger?

When Samsung saw the opportunity came, she quickly extended an olive branch and invited Mr. Liang to go to Bangzi Country.

In 2009, Mr. Liang officially resigned and left TSMC.

At first, there was a restriction on competition. Mr. Liang did not openly join Samsung Semiconductor, but entered a university in Bangziguo to evade the restriction on competition, but in fact...

Later, Mr. Liang officially joined Samsung!

Lao Zhang was furious and sued Mr. Liang in 2011 and Samsung, believing that Mr. Liang helped Samsung handle the 28-nanometer process during the competition period.

In August last year, the first instance verdict was found to lose the case and compensate TSMC for NT$5 million, and prohibited the provision of services to Samsung before December 31, 2015.

But Mr. Liang was dissatisfied with the first-instance judgment and began to appeal.

TSMC is also actively responding.

Originally, Lao Zhang would not be too anxious to jump over the wall at this time.

It would be nothing to let Mr. Liang go to Samsung until the end of 2015. Anyway, Samsung is far behind TSMC and will not be able to catch up with TSMC in the short term.

But who would have thought that Old Mrs. Liang could do anything!

Not only did it make a difference, it also exploded TSMC, surpassing TSMC!

It even let Samsung take away a large number of TSMC's orders with the help of the 14-nanometer process.

Now, Lao Zhang couldn't bear it anymore.

Especially those waste subordinates are still sighing and pointing at the mulberry and scolding!

Are you crazy?

I, Lao Zhang, don’t want to be faced?

Even if I did something wrong, it wasn't my fault!

Can you admit it?

joke!

Lao Zhang shouted sternly: "Hmph! What's the point of saying this now?"
