希望這位繼續在對面一堆X芯裡混,不要回來了~
"蔣尚義今年初正式任職中芯後,無論是受訪或對外演講,均表示中芯國際要在先進製程與先進封裝並行發展。業界研判,蔣尚義在中芯主要負責小晶片(chiplet)的先進封裝開發工作,並極力與他熟識的荷商艾司摩爾(ASML)洽購可生產先進製程的極紫外光(EUV)微影設備。
不過,艾司摩爾高層主管近期對外明確指出,極紫外光(EUV)微影設備無法對中國客戶出貨,其他產品都正常供貨。這代表中芯面臨無設備可生產先進製程,加上內部高層異動與人事紛擾,蔣尚義要幫中芯發展先進封裝的理想並未獲支持,資源不足,在「內憂外患」情況下勢必落空。半導體供應鏈新傳出,蔣尚義近日已向中芯遞出辭呈。"
財經網美分析了中芯困境:
Emmy在這集講了好多韭國半導體的搞笑事件:
都不知道原來台灣的半導體產業燒了這麼多年天文數字資本⋯😮
資本支出只增不減的趨勢根源:
" 台積電擴大資本支出,因為半導體的新應用還有很多,產能還是不夠的。我簡單算一下,5G手機1億支需要100萬片的晶圓,現在1年大概要多2~3億支的5G手機,就是說今年大概8吋晶圓廠要多200多萬片的需求。那自駕車呢?1台要多1.5~2片的需求,全自駕則需要2片,如果年產200萬台的電動車,等於是又多了300萬片的需求。
如果是智能車,1台需要1片,1年大概多500萬台智能車,也就是說再加上500萬片需求,單是這幾項,1年要多1000萬片的8吋需求,約當1個月80萬片。可是,到2024年每個月才多出100萬片,還不夠很多,因為我剛才算的還不含元宇宙的需求,也不包括低軌衛星的需求。"
"目前艾司摩爾已沒有在中國銷售先進的極紫外光 (EUV) 設備供應,但美國希望禁止範圍可以延伸到更成熟的技術。"
ASML自己說禁令對明年生意影響不大的喔~
“Based on our initial assessment, the new restrictions do not amend the rules governing lithography equipment shipped by ASML out of the Netherlands and we expect the direct impact on ASML’s overall 2023 shipment plan to be limited.”
禁令效果暫計:
"Imports of chip-making equipment from the U.S. fell to $349 million in November, roughly half the amount China purchased from the U.S. a year earlier, the data showed. The figure also marked a nearly 30% decline from September, just before the new regulations were unveiled.
Shipments of chip-making equipment from Japan, one of the biggest suppliers of such machines to China, fell 40% to $687 million in November. South Korean imports, meanwhile, plunged 50% from September to $227 million in November.
The drops in Chinese imports of chip-making equipment from these countries shows that Washington’s move has had an immediate impact. Analysts had described the cooperation of U.S. allies as essential to the success of Washington’s export controls."
去年擋中資收購德國不具規模利益的晶片廠如出一轍 :
"美國在高科技的競爭戰役中,遠在川普之前,早就把中國當成敵人、對手了。
2015年底,還是歐巴馬任內,美國的CFIUS外資投資委員會(Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States)就已經在嚴格審查、阻擋中國意圖購併美國(還有所有美國管得到的)半導體公司。
Fairchild Semiconductor 快捷半導體,是美國第一家半導體公司,Intel、AMD很多半導體創始人都來自這家公司,但,2015年時,Fairchild已經沒有太多關鍵領先技術,頂多只是業界讓人懷念尊敬的名字,這樣的情況下,中國想要收購Fairchild,還是被CFIUS擋下來。"
"2015年中,由中國金沙江創投基金主導的投資團隊,意圖以估值33億美元,收購擁有6、700項從底層材料、晶粒到封裝等各種LED相關專利的Lumileds 80%股權。當時飛利浦其實也很想退出商用照明市場,主要是來自中國後進者的殺價競爭壓力,使得他們想換現金轉投入其他領域。
數年之後,當時代表飛利浦經手這件中資購併案的美商投資銀行高層,談起當年往事,還在讚嘆(無奈XD)CFIUS態度有夠硬!
他回憶當時,送件多次一直被CFIUS打槍,理由永遠是千篇一律的「國家安全」(national security ),無奈只能反覆的請教CFIUS,到底你們說的國家安全是牽涉到技術?公司架構?還是股權分割?可是不管怎麼問,CFIUS還是鐵板一塊,飛利浦只好自己模擬,針對想像的國安問題提出解法,但多次重寫出售計畫送件還是碰壁。CFIUS不同意就是不同意。"
米國政商公開聯手抵禦一家公司還真是少見:
"This growing alliance between U.S. tech and government leaders demonstrates the hurdles TikTok’s executives face in trying to convince policy makers that their app is safe for U.S. users."
理直氣壯, 說米國排外的人自己先審視一下抖音那些挑戰造成多少年青生命傷害乃至家庭破碎:
"長期調查TikTok的英國記者克里朵(Cristina Criddle)就發現母公司字節跳動(ByteDance)的員工曾窺探她的地理定位等數據,追蹤她的行動軌跡,以探查與她見過面的內部人士。
紀錄片也訪問TikTok外包的言論審查員達米安(Damian)和馬克(Marc),並以不露面方式首度揭露TikTok審查內容的機制。
雖然名義上是「客戶服務」,但兩人的工作就是根據有台灣、新疆、香港獨立等敏感關鍵字在內的清單,提交不適當影片,再由其他人員刪除或以演算法方式屏蔽影片。目前歐洲境內的審查員計有6125人。"
有中文字幕的紀錄片連結:
抖音操作資訊戰問題嚴重:
"根據台灣AI實驗室報告,總統大選期間,TikTok偕同操作的影音發文中,提到「中國」大於「台灣」、「美國」、「日本」的發文數。提到「中國」的發文數中有62%是支持中國,最多的兩種論述是讚賞中國、中國應該統一台灣。提到台灣的發文數中有95%是負面敘述,最多的兩類敘述是民進黨毀掉台灣、台灣應該被中國統一。"
強烈推薦大家看這篇報導三分鐘出頭的聽證會影片:
"House Energy and Commerce Committee members pushed TikTok’s CEO on whether the platform was free of Chinese government interference. "

中國母公司介入米國子公司的經營更進一步:
"ByteDance executives weighed in from time to time, but for the moneymaking operations, the feedback from ByteDance typically involved approving budgets and offering product suggestions, according to current and former employees. TikTok employees said that began to change earlier this year, when the new executives started arriving from ByteDance, and ByteDance began weighing in more on strategy."
"2023年初再傳出,抖音出現股權變更,字節跳動共同創辦人張一鳴退出股東行列,新增股東廈門星辰啟點科技有限公司,持股比例高達98.81%。據報導,廈門星辰啟點成立於2022年12月30日,法定代表人為中共黨員李英,註冊資本僅100萬人民幣(約新台幣437.5萬元),因此也再度引發北京加強控制的猜測。"
杜邦跟華峰的交易被CIFUS鎖定實在是自找的:
"Huafon and the three Covation companies signed what is known as a national-security agreement with Cfius pledging to honor those terms. With Cfius’s blessing, DuPont and Huafon then closed the $240 million deal in May 2022.
A month later, as Defense Department officials were planning a trip to China to ensure that the key technology hadn’t made its way to Huafon, they got some very unwelcome news: CovationBio employees found information on their servers that should have stayed within CovaPDO, meaning the Cfius effort to ringfence the sensitive technology had been undermined."
CIFUS最新目標:抖音
"TikTok executives have said that 60% of ByteDance shares are owned by global investors, 20% by employees and 20% by its founders, though the founders’ shares carry outsize voting rights, as is common with tech companies. The company was founded in Beijing in 2012 by Zhang Yiming, ByteDance Chief Executive Liang Rubo and others."
