```}

這篇文章的核心討論主題是：**作者對台積電（TSMC）高壓工作文化的抱怨與批判**，主要聚焦於以下幾點：

1. **過度加班與不合理的工作要求**：  
   作者將台積電在美國設廠的勞動環境比喻為「中國血汗工廠」，批評其無休止的工作節奏（無週末、無夜晚），並以極端緊迫的期限（「現在或昨天就要完成」）壓榨員工。

2. **對工程師職涯的負面影響**：  
   作者擔憂，若台積電壟斷市場後，工程師將失去跳槽機會，導致公司可肆意壓低薪資，形成惡性循環。

3. **對東亞企業文化的批判**：  
   文中直指這種「割喉式」（throat-cut）的競爭文化僅有利於股東，卻犧牲員工權益，長期而言無法創造真正的贏家。

4. **個人情緒宣洩**：  
   整篇為作者在疲憊工作後的發洩（rant），反映其對職場現狀的強烈不滿與無力感。

總結而言，核心議題是**批判台積電的高壓管理與東亞職場文化對勞動者的剝削**，並延伸至對產業壟斷與薪資停滯的憂慮。

### 內容

Got a really long day due to TSMC. Just a rant. It felt like TSMC to US fab is just like Chinese sweat shop to manufacturing in western countries. Jesus they work like there is no tomorrow. No weekend and no night, everything they want is either now or yesterday.

Fucking Christ don't they know if they beat all competitions, the engineers will be the next on chopping block? Like there will be no other companies to jump to. So TSMC can and will suppress the salary cost to the ti```!

This type of throat cut east asian culture make no winner, except the shareholders of TSMC.

Sorry just a rough day. Vent out.


### 討論

**評論 1**:

Fab work in general is for the young. I'm glad I don't have to do it anymore.

Samsung was absolutely awful, I can't imagine TSMC being any better.


**評論 2**:

It's not just TSMC that's that demanding I work in an Intel (luckily not for them but for a vendor) fab and they are exactly the same.


**評論 3**:

Welcome to manufacturing!


**評論 4**:

Just curious , are you Taiwanese or American ? Cuz TSMC experience will mean a lot to them in coming years


**評論 5**:

Yeah man. It takes a certain kind of person to work in a fab for a long period. Im glad I did young when I entered the industry but super glad I dont work for the fab companies any more. I just go in there for time to time.

### 內容

I saw a lot of negative commen about working here, but no specific details on other reddit pos. I will be interning here this summer, so I am curious and want to stay in the know with the semiconductor industry.


### 討論

**評論 1**:

Interns don't work hard. You're not going to get a call on the weekend or after hours about coming in to work.


**評論 2**:

I assume in Austin? For an intern, there shouldn't be too many issues. You'll likely work 8-5 and be shielded from having to deal with late nigh``` and/or weekends unless there's another catastrophe like the Polar Vortex in 2021. About the only negative thing will be that you may want to make some significant change, but they'll tell you that you have to go through South Korea first. That will probably take longer than your internship. I would say, just work hard when you're on site, learn as much as you can and show them that you can bring value to the company. Good luck on your internship!


**評論 3**:

SAS (Samsung Austin) is a terrible place to work, coming from a former employee in integration engineering who decided that grad school was much better than that hell hole


**評論 4**:

It is a good place to intern. Not a "hell hole" as another commenter here said. You'll probably have a mentor and get a 3-D printing project. Honestly tough to get a summer intern position. I was at the interviews last round and they were tough.


**評論 5**:

Which facility lol. The American ones used to be able to actually do nothing and still get job offers.

Chip production: Russia builds i``` first own lithography systems
``` {#6-```
chip-production-russia-builds-i```-first-own}

這些討論的核心主題圍繞在 **俄羅斯與中國在半導體技術（尤其是先進製程與極紫外光刻技術/EUV）上的發展現狀與挑戰**，並對比兩國在缺乏西方技術支援下的進展差異。具體要點包括：

1. **技術落後與追趕難度**  
   - 俄羅斯目前僅掌握40-90奈米製程（相當於2000年代初期水平），遠落後於台美中；中國雖投入巨資並透過技術轉移，仍未能突破EUV門檻。
   - 俄羅斯因國際制裁更難取得外國技術，發展障礙比中國更大。

2. **EUV技術的瓶頸**  
   - 中國與俄羅斯均嘗試研發EUV（如俄國研究機構開發固態EUV光源），但在關鍵領域（如光罩製造）仍大幅落後荷蘭ASML主導的業界標準。
   - 俄羅斯過去曾與ASML有專利合作，但當前國際關係惡化切斷技術交流。

3. **務實的技術目標**  
   - 俄羅斯現階段聚焦於滿足軍事需求（如飛彈用晶片），而非追趕尖端製程，反映其資源與戰略優先性。

4. **技術自主性的侷限**  
   - 討論凸顯半導體產業高度全球化特性，缺乏國際供應鏈支持下（如DUV/EUV設備），自主研發面臨極高門檻。

**總結**：對話聚焦於地緣政治如何制約半導體技術發展，並分析中俄在「去西方化」技術自主進程中的現實差距與挑戰。

### 內容

You can buy stuff on ebay that is better than that. LOL

Even China is stuck trying to squeeze 5nm chips out of DUV machines and they have had access to foreign technology up until recently. Russia has a long way to go without access to foreign technology like China had to try and catch up.

China, even with trillions in theft and billions in investment. Has yet to reach the EUV threshold. Russia has a long way to go.

Is it as good as ASML ?

Yes, this is 1995 level tech. But per the article, Russia uses 40 nm for their missiles (2007) and can already make 90 nm stuff.

So yeah, they are not catching up to Taiwan/China/US any time soon. But theyre not trying to.

Not great for modern standards but from what I checked it looks like theyre also trying to make an EUV litho like China. They made a solid state EUV source with 4% conversion efficiency at 11.2 nm, I think that paper also got an AIP rising star award iirc. Theyre still far behind though, especially with EUV mask making but the institute that made the EUV source have also made some paten``` for ASML before when relations were better.

### 內容

I've been an equipment engineer in the industry for a bit and I think I do a decent job (decent to good reviews, good opinions from coworkers), but holy hell can it be a soul sucking job. I like working on machines but I'd also like not feeling like I'm shackled to being a fab monkey for the rest of my career, always worried about down time or safety issues. What are my options to branch out, if you guys know any? I assume the pay cut can be pretty steep when moving out of fabs?


### 討論

**評論 1**:

Equipment vendor side - e.g. equipment start-up engineer?


**評論 2**:

Been going through the same thing.

People who don't work in fab ops really have no idea how brutal and miserable it can be. Same goes for any manufacturing in the US.

My solution was to hop to a better company. The raise, change of scenery, superior culture, and new challenges (new department) have been enough to reinvigorate my engagement with the job.

Yeah, it's a certainty that I'll burn out again, but this has allowed me a few more years of high income until I inevitably can't take it anymore and pull the ripcord.

Other paths are management, sales, vendor roles.


**評論 3**:

what do you mean by out of industry? out of semicon? or out of manufacturing?

if you want out of semicon, i``` relatively simple since semicon is the most stringent, any manufacturing will be glad to have you. i have seen colleagues transition to shipbuilding and light industry (manufacturing printers).

if you want out of manufacturing, you can leverage your knowledge on maintenance/leadership instead of machine knowledge and transition to civil engineering. Take care of facilities management like bridge, road, train station, etc. Settle for govt job.


**評論 4**:

Field service can be fantastic if you find the right company.


**評論 5**:

You can do anything else in instrumentation work. Semiconductor is the pinnacle of high tech, while other areas like medical devices and some diagnostic equipment must consider cost per unit and cost of operation so they might use a lesser technology. While you are probably accustomed to working with precision positioning electronics in robotics, some devices will use older tech like bel``` and stepper motors with homing sensors, no linear encoders or optical positioning, no drop pin alignment. But you know these technologies so you'd be the leader of the pack so to speak with most other groups since some of your coworkers might be more into chemistry or basic engineering principles.

### 內容

If you wanted to sell it as a semiconductor, probably $5. Nobody knows what it does, what the circuitry looks like.

As a collectors item or museum artifact? No idea, but probably also low since we dont know the history or provenance of this item.

I would like one for my desk. I doubt it would be useful for much other than a decoration at this point.

How do you even know it's really GaAs on Si. You'd have to do analysis on it to prove that's really what it is.

FWIW depositing epi GaAs on Si is not easy.

Sell them to a museum's gift shop for souvenirs, Id pay for shipping for one or two

Man, without actually knowing the architecture, you can't do anything with these.

Do you even know if they are finished?

Are they coated with a protective layer.

Also, they are not packaged in a non-static bag. So they could already be ruined.

If I were you, I would dispose of those carefully seeing Ga i```elf is not very dangerous , some compound can be. And since you don't really know what type of Ga you are dealing with.. I can tell you that the As part is fucking dangerous!!

Arsenide is nothing to fuck around with!

I work with this bi-weekly and we have special stickers to denote that GaAs is involved so we know what toso when a wafer breaks.

And we work under laminar flow, you are just sitting at your desk.

Just handling these can already produce particles that you inhale or family members/pe``` can inhale or ingest.

Not smart.

### 內容

Will TSMC be only with "2nm" class process node? After Samsung cancel it and Intel cancel 20A and A18 is still out of sight and there is no news about it will there left only one manufacter of "2nm" and sub 2nm process?


### 討論

**評論 1**:

Samsung according to web articles is targeting 2nd half of 2025 for full scale production at 2nm. https://wccftech.com/samsung-could-beat-```mc-in-the-2nm-race/

Assuming they can find customers that will choose them over TSMC.


**評論 2**:

So 2nm is just a label for the process of the manufacturing. It has nothing to do with any size on the transistor.

Here is my clearest example of what this means. For TSMC their first finFET transistor process technology was labeled as 16nm. Before that their 20nm process was still using planar transistors.

As a juxtaposition, for Intel their first finFEt transistor was marketed/labeled as 22nm and the prior node was a 32nm node made with planar transistors.

So now we are at TSMC N2 (mc labels it as an N2 node and Intel labels as 18A) and Intel 18A. Both TSMC N2 and Intel 18A will feature gate all around transistors. Intel labels them as RibbonFET and TSMC calls them nanosheet transistors. TSMC N2 will be the first time we see nanosheet transistors and Intel 18A will be i second time that they've introduced RibbonFET and PowerVIA (backside power delivery) into a single process node.

The first for Intel was their 20A node which featured both RibbonFET transistors and PowerVIA. However that node was not ready for full production and so they've shifted entirely to 18A and 18A needs to demonstrate full production readiness. We will know by the end of this year which will come quickly.

Intel themselves projected earnings and revenue parity by 1st half of 2026 which would mean that they predict that earnings from 18A will satisfy their CAPEX or capital expenditures. Basically they will no longer be in the negative and be able to pay for their own fabs again.


**評論 3**:

Are you saying Intel 18A isnt a 2nm process? Or are you saying chips wont actually be manufactured on 18A?


**評論 4**:

Only the three you mention will have the process capability to achieve 2nm and beyond. Intel will shift their focus on larger sizes and get manufacturing back to where it needs to be before investing millions in R&D to get to beyond 2nm (although ASML and Intel are very closely linked and some of the ASML development is done with Intel, but still doubt it will go into production soon). Only real rival will be Samsung, and if they are taking a step back, don't see anyone else going after it... Samsung will get there, but TSMC does appear to be miles ahead in terms of manufacturability at small scale.


**評論 5**:

Rapidus in Japan is aiming to be the main competitor to ```m for 2nm.

Understand that the jobs market for graduates right now is awful. Almost everyone is in a hiring freeze except for experienced hires. Just keep trying.

For people in their degrees checking this thread: this is one of the reasons you should enter industry as soon as possible, and I say that as someone who went the PhD route instead. In hard times, companies are more likely to hire a person with experience than a person with extra education.

### 內容

Is VLSI engineering work monotonous? Currently, I am working in IT. I like to solve problems, I don't like monotonous work. Does VLSI engineer work too monotonous/repetitive, Can you tell me how much percentage is monotonous and creative?


### 討論

**評論 1**:

Define whats monotonous for you?


**評論 2**:

If you plan to jump from IT to VLSI, you should have a BSEE at the very least, and know someone.

Most of that work is considerd IC digital design, and needs a masters+ from highly rated schools.

You are looking at very elite work.

The work is like recess all day.

You might be able to first go to board design and get some FPGA work or work hardening FPGA to ICs. But I have been out for a long while now, so the design flow may be different now.

Even that work is going to be very competitive.

### 內容

By the way I did enjoy the DSP class a lot and I also like Digital Design, but I am hoping to get a job in Analog IC Design (a subject I greatly enjoy and I have found a passion in--I also absolutely love DSP stuff too). After this current semester, I will only need one class to graduate with my Masters in ECE. BTW, I am not employed in engineering at this time, so I am really trying to break in and get a chance at starting a career.

How would you rank these in terms of value for a person trying to find their way into a position as an Mixed-signal/analog IC designer?

The four classes that I am trying to decide between are

EEE5716 - Introduction to Hardware Security and Trust

Description: Fundamentals of hardware security and trust for integrated circui. Cryptographic hardware, invasive and non-invasive attacks, side-channel attacks, physically unclonable functions (PUFs), true random number generation (TRNG), watermarking of Intellectual Property (IP) blocks, FPGA security, counterfeit detection, hardware Trojan detection and prevention in IP cores and integrated circui.

EEE5354L - Semiconductor Device Fabrication Laboratory

This course will be offering hands-on experience in semiconductor material characterization and device fabrication techniques.

EEL5764 - Computer Architecture

Fundamentals in design and quantitative analysis of modern computer architecture and systems, including instruction set architecture, basic and advanced pipelining, superscalar and VLIW instruction-level parallelism, memory hierarchy, storage, and interconnec```.

EEL5721 - Reconfigurable Computing

Fundamental concep at introductory graduate level in reconfigurable computing based upon advanced technologies in field-programmable logic devices. Topics include general concep, device architectures, design tools, metrics and kernels, system architectures, and application case studies.

I know the FPGA/VLSI (Reconfigurable Computing) course is far away from Analog IC Design, but I figure getting better with and doing projec with VLSI (although I did that a bit as an undergrad) would be valuable when I encounter digital IC projec in this field, plus knowing FPGAs better may prove to be a good security in case I find it hard to find Analog IC jobs (which would be a bummer for me).

Thank you for the advice!

### 內容

I was studying the junctions of metal and n type semiconductor.few thing are not clear to me

  1. how do they determine the shape bending in that Energy vs distance curve ?

  2. in the one of the case the fermi level of the semiconductor is higher than that of metal.Does not it mean it is easier to take out electrons from the semiconductor than from the metal? It feels a bit unusual to me .


### 討論

**評論 1**:

The shape of the band bending (or potential ) comes out to be parabolic when you solve the Poisson equation. The fermi-level being higher in semiconductor means the carriers in semiconductor have on average higher energy than the metal so they can easily get transferred to the metal side leaving behind space charge in the semiconductor

### 內容

I'm pretty much a newbie in the semiconductor sector and recently came across Magnachip. Some things stood out, and I'd appreciate any insigh``` from people more experienced in this space. If a different sub is more suitable for these questions, please me know.

Context:

  1. Magnachip's OLED DDIC business has absolutely collapsed and it's looking to get out of it (this has gone from close to 60% of i``` business in 2020 to 15% in 2024)

  2. They're shifting their focus entirely to their Power Business, which includses

    1. Power Discretes - MOSFETs and IGBTs produced in their own fab in Korea

    2. Power ICs / PMICs - used in OLED TVs, data center SSDs, and ESS. This is fabless. This business has also been declining in the last couple of years but they see a much bigger market, much higher growth rates, as well as much better margins (30% gross margins).

My questions are:

1) What exactly happened to OLED DDIC market, and why isn't it bouncing back?

My understanding / guess is that this business needs 28nm wafers and during Covid all the supply went to higher-value use cases so guys like Magnachip got no allocation. This meant they lost customers who either went to bigger players that could get allocation or brought it in-house (e.g., Samsung). Afterwards there was no need for these customers to go back to Magnachip. Is this market so commoditized and low-margin now that it's structurally unattractive going forward?

2) How attractive is the Power Discretes / PMIC space in the next 3-5 years? Magnachip pain``` a very rosy picture but is this really a high-growth space? I know analog/power design doesn't follow the same bleeding-edge node dynamics as digital, but is there real differentiation here? Are mid-sized players like Magnachip viable in this space over the medium to long term?

Any commen``` appreciated and feel free to DM.


### 討論

**評論 1**:

I can't give you a great view into the PMIC space, but OLED DDIC I have some perspective on.

Magnachip was always a second supplier to Samsung SEC, which is dominated by SLSI. They never got into any of the premium (higher margin) produc (especially mobile). Even LG captive SiWorks did better breaking into China/Japan OLED. Now that Novatek and Himax are in to field too (along with some smaller Chinese suppliers) they have no chance ouide Korea and Samsung is narrowing their suppliers over the last few years. Frankly, it appeared from the ou```ide that Magnachip was unable to deliver DDI without support from SEC (who used them for internal pricing leverage).

Early on the OLED DDIC were all 40nm, because (ou```ide SLSI which had 28nm) that was where everyone else was stuck with the top/bottom poly decision they made, which limited HV to <6V when it turned out 8V data line DACs were needed for OLED. Now there are fully developed 28nm HV with PDKs at all the majors (TSMC, UMC, SMIC?) in addition to SLSI so they really have no advantage. Geopolitics isn't on their side either.

All I know about PMICs is high power SiC in China so probably not relevant.
