The US Department of Commerce has ordered a halt on advanced chip shipments to Chinese customers after a TSMC chip was found in a Huawei processor. This move aims to investigate potential diversion of chips to Huawei and is part of broader trade restrictions against the company.
TSMC has communicated with its clients regarding the shipment pause, which begins Monday. The affected advanced chips are essential for artificial intelligence applications, an area under significant export controls from the US.
TSMC reaffirmed its commitment to comply with all applicable rules, stating it will adhere to export controls as mandated by governmental regulations.
The trade pause reflects ongoing tensions between the US and China over technology transfer and national security, highlighting the complexities of the contemporary semiconductor supply chain.
