According to comprehensive reports from Taiwanese media, former senior vice president of Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM.US) Luo Wei-ren is rumored to have taken confidential information regarding TSMC's 2-nanometer and below advanced processes before his resignation and is now serving in a research and development position at Intel (INTC.US). Reports indicate that before resigning in July of this year, Luo used his authority to request briefings from subordinates and photocopied a large amount of the most advanced process technologies, including 2-nanometer, A16, and A14, and took the related confidential information with him. Additionally, it was previously reported that Luo transferred to Intel last month.

TSMC board member Ye Jun-xian responded that Luo was transferred to a unit where he would not have access to core confidential information more than a year ago, and regarding whether he photocopied any information, TSMC will investigate.

British media International Business Times (IBT) reported that TSMC's 2-nanometer process technology breakthrough directly affects the performance and efficiency of the next generation of processors. If leaked to other companies, it could disrupt the existing market balance
