Dear Qun Ye,
Some additional info is shown below:
Who makes the silicon for chips?
Intel creates industry-leading and world-first silicon products. These Intel® chips are some of the most complex devices ever manufactured, requiring advanced manufacturing technology.
Computer chips, also known as semiconductors, are the brains of products like smartphones, cars, medical devices and most modern appliances. The vast majority are made in Taiwan, South Korea and China.
Who is TSMC competitor?
From a technology perspective, Samsung is the nearest rival. Yet a comparison is skewed by the fact that the South Korean company also makes display screens and puts most of its semiconductor spending toward commodity memory chips that TSMC doesn't even bother to make.
Who makes silicon wafers in USA?
Siltronic AG is one of the leading producers of hyperpure silicon wafers and has been a partner to many major semiconductor manufacturers for decades. Employing a workforce of around 3,900 members, Siltronic commands a global network of advanced, leading-edge production plants in Asia, Europe, and the United States.
