Foxconn may partner with TSMC and TMH to set up fab units

[Daniel Nenni]

Foxconn is in talks with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) and Japan’s TMH Group for technology and joint venture partnerships to start semiconductor fabrication units in India, said people with knowledge of the development.

Foxconn and TSMC are both based in Taiwan. Foxconn, which ended its joint venture to make chips with India’s Vedanta Group earlier this week, has been talking to the two companies for some time now.

It’s likely to soon finalise the details of the partnership to manufacture both advanced and legacy node chips, a source close to the development told ET.

While TSMC is among the world’s largest chip foundries, TMH provides semiconductor solutions as well as operation and maintenance of manufacturing equipment. Foxconn, TSMC and TMH did not respond to queries.

While it was part of the joint venture with Vedanta, Foxconn had been in advanced talks with European company STMicro and GlobalFoundries of the US for a technology partnership.

This was after the central government asked the two to bring on board a technology partner as they lacked semiconductor manufacturing knowhow. Foxconn could also still sign up with STMicro or GlobalFoundries, said another official.

There have to be a large Indian component otherwise this also not gonna fly

 

[cliff]

India is begging a Taiwanese company to make a 20 year old process in India 5 years from now. Do I understand this correctly? Why can't India build a 20 year old technology themselves? Most of the equipment comes from ASML, Applied Materials, etc. Can somebody explain why a country that considers themselves technically advanced cannot handle this? There are several Indian who were in charge of foundries in the US. Modi cannot assemble a team for this critical technology?

Based on my close to 10 years experience dealing with South Asia, I can tell it will not fly with it anyways.
