As the global frontrunner in semiconductor chip foundry services, TSMC is a frequent target for those seeking to pilfer its technological secrets. Recently, Luo Weiren, a former executive at TSMC who subsequently joined Intel, stands accused of divulging confidential information related to cutting - edge manufacturing processes, including 2nm technology. In response, TSMC has initiated legal proceedings against him.
Earlier, a former employee surnamed Chen from the Japanese semiconductor firm KEL Powertech came under TSMC's scrutiny. After being closely monitored, this individual was caught red - handed attempting to steal data concerning TSMC's 2nm process technology. The legal proceedings for this case reached a conclusion in August.
