日前，台积电宣布了一项在亚利桑那州的120亿美元投资计划，但美国官方表示，台积电尚未获得任何保证，或者许可，授权使用美国技术与华为合作。
台积电是全球最大的合同芯片制造商，上周五在特朗普政府概述了一项修改技术出口规则的提案之前宣布了其计划，该提案可能会限制台积电向华为的销售，后者被美国列入黑名单，因为他们被认为对美国国家安全造成了威胁。
由美国商务部公布并由路透社首先报道的新规定扩大了美国的权限，要求使用美国技术在国外生产的半导体如果想与华为合作，必须先获得许可证，这大大扩大了华盛顿的影响范围，以阻止供应商向全球第二智能手机制造商的出口。 当被问及是否确保台积电获得许可时，美国负责经济增长，能源和环境事务的副部长基思·克拉奇（Keith Krach）在电话中对记者说：“对此没有任何保证。”
“我认为TMSCC大约有10-12％的业务是在中国，实际上，我认为这几乎主要是华为，” Krach说。“因此，除非获得许可，否则它们将受到限制，我对此没有任何保证，也无法预期。”
台积电早些时候表示，正在与外部法律顾问合作，及时解释规则，并与世界各地的设备合作伙伴保持长期合作。
克拉希（Krach）敦促美国盟国和伙伴加入华盛顿，调整其国内出口管制法律，以应对华为构成的“非常真实的安全威胁”。
他没有说明对台积电的潜在激励措施，但他说政府将帮助该公司成功进行投资。“就激励而言，我知道美国国会正在考虑很多事情。我认为……未来确实有一些很好的可能性，”克拉希说。
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, which unveiled a $12 billion investment plan in Arizona on Friday, has not been given any assurances that it will be granted a license to allow it to sell U.S. technology to China’s Huawei, a senior U.S. official said.
TSMC, the world’s biggest contract chipmaker, announced its plans on Friday just hours before the Trump administration outlined a proposal to amend tech export rules that could restrict TSMC’s sales to Huawei, which is blacklisted by the United States because it is considered a national security threat.
The new rule, unveiled by the Commerce Department and first reported by Reuters, expands U.S. authority to require licenses for sales to Huawei of semiconductors made abroad with U.S. technology, vastly expanding Washington’s reach to halt exports to the world’s No. 2 smartphone maker.
“There’s no assurance whatsoever on that,” Keith Krach, the U.S. undersecretary for economic growth, energy and the environment, told reporters in a call, when asked if TSMC was assured about a license.
“I think roughly around 10-12% of TMSC’s business is China, and I think that is in essence almost primarily Huawei,” Krach said. “So they will be restricted unless they’re granted a license, and there is no assurances on that and we don’t anticipate that.”
Earlier, TSMC said it was working with outside counsel to interpret the rules in good time and maintain long-term collaborations with equipment partners around the world.
Krach has urged U.S. allies and partners to join Washington in aligning their domestic export control laws to address “the very real security threat” posed by Huawei and China.
He did not spell out what the potential incentives would be for TSMC, but said the administration will help make the company be successful in its investment. “In terms of incentives, I know there is a number of things the U.S. Congress is looking at. I think ... there are some really good possibilities coming down the road,” Krach said.
Huawei, which needs semiconductors for its smartphones and telecoms equipment, has found itself at the heart of a battle for global technological dominance between the United States and China. The relationship between the world’s two largest economies has soured in recent months over the origins of the deadly coronavirus.
