It is reported that 40 semiconductor suppliers have followed TSMC to set up factories in the United States

According to Yahoo News, TSMC pointed out in its reply to the U.S. Department of Commerce that it is working with 40 suppliers, and these suppliers are successively setting up bases near TSMC's Arizona fab.

TSMC pointed out that the facilities of these enterprises are close to the TSMC plant building, which can reduce costs and promote instant coordination. For some Taiwanese companies that came to the United States to set up factories, the financial challenges are not small. Moreover, there is no bilateral tax agreement between Taiwan and the United States, which increases the cost of moving funds to the United States for these manufacturers.

It is reported that TSMC's US fab will hold a "first machine transfer" ceremony on December 6. At that time, TSMC will invite guests including customers, suppliers, academics and government representatives to celebrate the arrival of the first batch of machines and equipment. important milestone.

TSMC pointed out that with the arrival of machinery and equipment, it means that the factory building has been partially completed, and it will be ready to move into the first batch of cutting-edge equipment for semiconductor manufacturing; the 5-nanometer factory in Arizona started about 18 months ago. The progress is as expected, and mass production will start in 2024, with a monthly production capacity of 20,000 pieces.
