TSMC is exploring the replacement of Chinese rare-earth magnets in semiconductor manufacturing equipment motors to avoid export control risks, while Taiwan is developing domestic rare-earth production to reduce supply chain vulnerabilities.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Semiconductors, and 7 sources have reported it between 22 Oct 2026 and 23 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new supply risk in semiconductor machinery components that could disrupt production if rare-earth use continues. Switching to rare-earth-free motors opens a path to stable supply and less dependency on China this quarter.
