TSMC facing US$1bn fine from US probe, sources say

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: taipeitimes.com
  • The US Commerce Department is investigating TSMC's work for China-based company Sophgo.

  • RAND researcher Lennart Heim said TSMC made nearly three million chips in recent years matching a design ordered by Sophgo, which likely ended up with Huawei.

  • TSMC said it has not supplied Huawei since mid-September 2020 and is cooperating with the US Commerce Department.

  • No public action has been taken against TSMC; the department typically gives companies 30 days to respond to a proposed charging letter.
    • We are going to seek in this administration a dramatic increase in enforcement and fines for people who break the rules.
    — U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick spoke about the role of export control enforcement in addressing the threat from China.
