The world’s largest chip foundry ended its relationship with a Singapore-based firm after a client review
The world’s most advanced contract chipmaker has severed its ties with a Singapore-based company after a client review exposed a potential breach of US export controls, according to people familiar with the matter.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) ended its relationship with PowerAIR, a low-key Singaporean firm, following a client check triggered by the discovery of a TSMC chip in a Huawei Technologies artificial intelligence (AI) processor, three sources said.
PowerAIR is the second known company singled out for possible involvement in the Huawei case. TSMC last year suspended shipments to mainland China-based chip designing firm Sophgo after a chip it ordered from the Taiwanese chipmaker was found to match one on Huawei’s Ascend 910B multi-chip system, according to a Reuters report in October citing unnamed sources.
Chinese tech champion Huawei has been under a blanket ban by the US since 2020 that effectively cuts off its access to semiconductor foundries worldwide. TSMC previously said it had not supplied products to Huawei since 2020. Huawei said it had not produced any chips via TSMC after the US implemented relevant sanctions.
Sophgo and its affiliate, bitcoin mining equipment supplier Bitmain, have denied any business relationships with Huawei.
The Post is unable to reach PowerAIR, which does not have an official website, nor any publicly-listed phone number or email address. TSMC and Huawei did not respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
全球最大的晶圓代工廠在客戶審查後與一家新加坡公司結束合作
據知情人士透露，全球最先進的晶圓代工廠因客戶審查發現可能違反美國出口管制，已與一家新加坡公司終止合作。
台灣積體電路製造股份有限公司（TSMC，台積電）因一項客戶審查發現其晶片出現在華為技術有限公司的一款人工智慧（AI）處理器中，已與低調的新加坡公司PowerAIR終止合作，三位消息人士透露。
PowerAIR是第二家因可能涉及華為案件而被點名的公司。根據路透社去年10月的報導，台積電曾因發現中國大陸芯片設計公司飛騰科技（Sophgo）訂購的一款芯片與華為昇騰910B多芯片系統中的芯片相符，而暫停對飛騰的出貨。
自2020年起，中國科技巨頭華為被美國全面禁止，實際上切斷了其與全球半導體代工廠的聯繫。台積電此前表示，自2020年以來未向華為提供產品。華為則表示，在美國實施相關制裁後，並未透過台積電生產任何芯片。
飛騰科技及其關聯公司、比特幣挖礦設備供應商比特大陸（Bitmain）均否認與華為有任何業務關係。
《南華早報》無法聯繫到PowerAIR，該公司既沒有官方網站，也沒有公開的聯絡電話或電子郵件地址。台積電和華為在週四均未回應置評請求。
心得/評論：
之前台積電被發現客戶將晶片給中國
現在正式跟新加坡公司PowerAIR中斷關係
華為則是否認有取得台積電的晶片
