Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) plans to continue making chips for Huawei even as other companies in the global semiconductor ecosystem are complying with a U.S. ban on supplies to the Chinese electronics company.
At its May 23rd technology symposium, TSMC said that after careful consideration, it will maintain its shipments to Huawei's chip arm HiSilicon throughout this year. The world’s biggest foundry noted that any impact to one client could result in gains for another client.
While TSMC’s shipments to Huawei will continue, the halt of components and software from other suppliers may still have some impact on TSMC, according to Credit Suisse analyst Randy Abrams in comments emailed to EE Times.
