TSMC's $65 billion Arizona facility can now match Taiwan production yields according to early trials | TechSpot
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has reached a significant milestone in its expansion into the US. Recent trial production at the company's new Arizona facility has yielded results...
Didnt they recently run headlines that Americans are lazy sack of shit that don't want to work free unscheduled overtime ?
The initial plan had been for the first fab to achieve full production this year, but the timeline was delayed due to several workforce challenges. These included difficulties in finding skilled workers locally, cultural differences between TSMC's Taiwanese management and American employees, and a shortage of skilled construction workers that slowed the building process. This delay raised concerns about TSMC's ability to maintain efficiency with its US operations compared to its facilities in Taiwan.
Recent success in trial production has alleviated some of these concerns. TSMC has confirmed that the Arizona project is progressing as planned, although the company has not commented specifically on yield rates.
Meanwhile EU: "I sleep"
Yeah cool, let's keep depending on other countries for stuff our whole economies are based on.
Aren't the very photolithography machines that all the chip manufacturers use to make their chips all made by like one EU company or something?
Yes, and that makes it even more ridicolous
Aren't there still massive issues with the Colorado River running dry? Hopefully they're not too dependant on that water source for their chips
Although the amount of water is shrinking. The main issue for the Colorado is abuse from agriculture. Something like 80% is being used for farming in the middle of the fucking desert. And even worse their growing shit like avocados and almonds that need a shit ton of water.
And alfalfa for Saudi Arabia.
Do you want red chili sauce or green chili sauce on those chips?
That’s new mexico
I'd like a Hermanos Burger a la carte, Mr. Fring. Thank You.
I thought I read somewhere they are a year behind on ramping up actual real world production cuz of course shocker americans don't want to work 65 hours a week being abused the entire time. Cannot staff it as of this spring as far as I know. Drive past it all the time and never fails to strike me as a prime bomb target for the next enemy.
I feel like if anyone attempted to bomb an American TSMC plant, there would be far larger problems on the docket to come.
tsmc must be one of the least corporate designed mega companies out there.
