Recent #Recruitment news in the semiconductor industry
➀ TSMC is said to be ending 7nm and more advanced chip shipments to Chinese firms, possibly due to concerns about these companies being proxies for Huawei.
➁ The halt in shipments is expected to impact companies using TSMC's technology for AI, smartphones, and automotive chips.
➂ The suspension is set to begin on November 11, and negotiations with the U.S. Department of Commerce are anticipated.
➃ The move is seen as a potential negative impact on TSMC's revenues, but is expected to be offset by increased demand from U.S. firms.
➄ No evidence has been presented linking Huawei to any illicit activities, but the company has been reported to be recruiting TSMC engineers with offers of triple their current salaries.
➅ Despite the efforts, Huawei has not yet succeeded in this recruitment, and the trade channels of the involved Chinese firms seem to have been severed.
