After TSMC was previously reported to have violated the U.S. ban on manufacturing chips for Huawei, the U.S. Department of Commerce has ordered TSMC to suspend the supply of advanced chips for artificial intelligence (AI) applications to Chinese customers starting next Monday. The United States hopes to evaluate whether There are other companies transferring chips to Huawei.

OpenAI is rumored to join hands with Broadcom to create AI chips, booking TSMC for 2026 Capacity) According to Reuters, the U.S. Department of Commerce has sent a letter to TSMC to implement export controls on certain cutting-edge chips of 7 nanometer or more advanced designs exported to China to power AI accelerators and GPUs. Therefore, TSMC has notified all affected parties. Affected Chinese customers, chip shipments will be stopped next Monday. Before TSMC stopped supplying China's 7nm AI chips, it was reported that TSMC was suspected of violating the US ban to help Huawei manufacture chips. Semiconductor research institute Tech Insights released a report last month stating that after disassembly, it was found that Huawei's Ascend 910B processor uses TSMC's 7nm TSMC subsequently stated that it would no longer ship to Huawei since mid-September 2020 and proactively reported the matter to the U.S. Department of Commerce. Due to being included on the U.S. sanctions list, Huawei requires suppliers to obtain licenses before it can supply any goods or technology to it, but any license applications that may help Huawei develop AI may be rejected. Nuclear Technology, a chip design company owned by Bitmain, the world's largest Bitcoin mining machine manufacturer, was accused of acting as a white glove for Huawei, helping to bypass U.S. controls and purchase TSMC chips. Although Numerical Technology later issued a statement emphasizing that it had never worked with Huawei There is no commercial relationship, but people familiar with the matter revealed that after this incident, TSMC has stopped supplying to Computing Technology. The latest restrictions in the United States will affect more companies, and the United States will use this to evaluate whether other companies will transfer chips to Huawei for use in its AI processors. In response to the latest Reuters report, the U.S. Department of Commerce declined to respond, and a TSMC spokesperson had no further comment, saying only that "as a law-abiding company, we are committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations, including applicable export control regulations." More Chinese companies may be included in the sanctions list. The report mentioned that the U.S. Department of Commerce notified the U.S. Department of Commerce in the form of a notification letter. This method allows the U.S. executive branch to bypass the lengthy rule-making process and quickly implement new licensing requirements for specific companies. The United States has repeatedly delayed updating its rules on technology exports to China. Reuters reported in July that the Biden administration was drafting new rules for the export of certain overseas chip manufacturing equipment and planned to move about 120 Chinese companies, including wafer manufacturing plants, Tool manufacturers and related companies are listed on the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Restricted Entity List, but so far no new regulations have been enacted.
