PSMC CEO oppose Taiwanese version CHIPS act

The Taiwanese version of the chip bill is on the road. Although the government uses the banner of rewarding research and development to maintain the competitiveness of Taiwan's semiconductor industry, Huang Chongren, chairman of PSMC, said in an exclusive interview with this newspaper that the initial threshold for the application of the Taiwan version of the chip bill is almost only for Tailor-made by a few TSMC companies, he said: "If only TSMC is favored, it is absolutely unfair and unreasonable. On behalf of the Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association, he will absolutely oppose it to the end!"

The Executive Yuan hastily passed the revision of the "Industrial Innovation Regulations" known as the "Taiwan version of the Chip Act". For forward-looking R&D credits, 25% of the income tax can be deducted; advanced process equipment is credited, and the annual equipment expenditure is at the bottom of the income tax 5 % and "the purchase amount of equipment is unlimited".

Huang Chongren said that the government took care of Taiwan's semiconductor industry through equipment investment credits. He affirmed and was optimistic about its success. However, he insisted on "forward-looking research and development" and "advanced process equipment", which seemed to only target TSMC or a small number of equipment manufacturers. Provide subsidies.

Huang Chongren said that the government must clarify what is advanced manufacturing process and forward-looking research and development. If it is targeted, instead of treating semiconductor factories that expand investment in Taiwan equally, such a bill amendment is "too unfair and unreasonable."

Huang Chongren's tone turned into a high-pitched voice, saying that Taiwan's semiconductor industry is not the only company TSMC. In addition to expanding investment in Taiwan, in addition to PSMC, there are also UMC, Nanya, Winbond, Macronix and the world's advanced; and advanced design and development, It is not only MediaTek, but also chip design companies such as Xinhua and Parade. TSMC does have a large company in Taiwan Semiconductor, but Taiwan is not the only company in Taiwan. TSMC has more than 60,000 employees, but other semiconductor companies There are hundreds of thousands of employees in the company. The government must not pass the Taiwan chip bill just to reward TSMC and a few semiconductor companies.

As for this bill, it may also pave the way for attracting Asmol and Applied Materials to expand investment in Taiwan. Huang Chongren said: "These manufacturers do not need subsidies, and they will come, because Taiwan's semiconductors are actively expanding their factories!"

Huang Chongren said that Taiwanese semiconductor factories are working hard to survive in the fierce global competition, and TSMC has earned more money than all semiconductor factories combined. If the Taiwan version of the chip bill is wrong, it is not right for a manufacturer to take root in Taiwan and expand its factory , to make a one-size-fits-all reward regulation, he will, in the name of the executive director of the Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association, collude with other directors to oppose it to the end.
 
Did Photronics sell the brand name PSMC to Powerchip?

Up to their merger with DNP in Taiwan , Photronics in Taiwan was called PSMC

Powerchip is PSMC since 2018. Photronics Taiwan was rebranded PDMC when they struck the deal with DNP in 2014 and, if the company is still the same I knew, they didn't pay for one more day that necessary for the ownership of the acronym. ;)
