The United States began to encourage companies to produce locally a few years ago, and TSMC is also one of the companies that promised to set up factories in the United States. Recently, the new factory in Arizona is nearing completion and will become the first factory in the United States that can mass-produce 5nm chips.
The TSMC plant “FAB 21” in Phoenix, Arizona, costing US$12 billion, finally had a capping ceremony recently, which means that the construction is nearly complete, and production equipment will be moved in following that. It is expected to start mass production in the first quarter of 2024. . There will be TSMC’s 5nm production equipment in the plant, which has become a major milestone in US wafer production.
TSMC has a factory in Camas, Washington, USA, as well as design centers in Texas and California. However, TSMC’s development in the United States has not been smooth sailing. It is reported that they are facing difficulties in recruiting talents locally. , and the failure of American employees to adapt to the Taiwan-style company culture, etc., whether the advantages of local production can be utilized is still unknown.
