原文内容:
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.
全球最大的晶圆代工厂在客户审查后与一家新加坡公司结束合作
据知情人士透露,全球最先进的晶圆代工厂因客户审查发现可能违反美国出口管制,已与一家新加坡公司终止合作。
台湾积体电路制造股份有限公司(TSMC,台积电)因一项客户审查发现其芯片出现在华为技术有限公司的一款人工智能(AI)处理器中,已与低调的新加坡公司PowerAIR终止合作,三位消息人士透露。
PowerAIR是第二家因可能涉及华为案件而被点名的公司。根据路透社去年10月的报导,台积电曾因发现中国大陆芯片设计公司飞腾科技(Sophgo)订购的一款芯片与华为升腾910B多芯片系统中的芯片相符,而暂停对飞腾的出货。
自2020年起,中国科技巨头华为被美国全面禁止,实际上切断了其与全球半导体代工厂的联系。台积电此前表示,自2020年以来未向华为提供产品。华为则表示,在美国实施相关制裁后,并未透过台积电生产任何芯片。
飞腾科技及其关联公司、比特币挖矿设备供应商比特大陆(Bitmain)均否认与华为有任何业务关系。
《南华早报》无法联系到PowerAIR,该公司既没有官方网站,也没有公开的联络电话或电子邮件地址。台积电和华为在周四均未回应置评请求。
心得/评论:
之前台积电被发现客户将芯片给中国
现在正式跟新加坡公司PowerAIR中断关系
华为则是否认有取得台积电的芯片
