Zhang Zhongmou said the Taiwan authorities should open investment restrictions on the semiconductor continent

August 17th morning news, TSMC chairman Zhang Zhongmou said on Wednesday that if the Taiwan authorities open 0.18 micron semiconductor technology investment in the mainland, not only will not affect the development of Taiwan local semiconductor industry, but also for the mainland branch competitiveness increment.

Zhang Zhongmou complained that the Taiwan authorities to restrict the semiconductor opening, more stringent than the Washeng agreement ", and Taiwan is not limited to the agreement. Although the United States is also the transfer of foreign restrictions on semiconductor technology, but 0.18 micron technology has been open to invest in the mainland, the Taiwan authorities should be appropriate to relax the restrictions.

Zhang Zhongmou added that the 0.18 micron technology is already very mature technology, many mainland factories with 0.18 micron chip production, and business is good, in the mainland semiconductor as a key industry environment, even the local industry each year at a loss, but as long as there is a source of cash supply, these companies will continue to survive.

Data show that the Washeng protocol is the first to cover the traditional weapons and military dual-use goods and sensitive business, science and technology of the international multilateral export control protocol.
