Moreover, South Korea’s Ministry of Finance said earlier TSMC would submit some semiconductor data to the United States. Korean media previously reported that South Korean companies will only “partially comply” with the US Department of Commerce’s information request requirements.
In September, the US Department of Commerce required companies in the semiconductor supply chain to fill out a questionnaire before November 8 to learn about the current shortage of chips.
