Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC) is the world’s leading chip manufacturer. It has clients like Apple, Samsung, and Qualcomm, among others. These days, attention is turning to the Taiwanese company, where it announced an investment of $ 100 billion in new factories and research, to combat the current shortage of segments.
Initially, TSMC confirmed that it would build a plant in Phoenix, Arizona, with the latest technology for chip production in this country that would represent a $ 10 billion investment. Now, according to a special report from Reuters, There will be two and will be focused on the 3 nm and 2 nm slices. The latter is a technology that is expected to develop in the next ten years.
This, in addition, will allow him to participate in the incentives announced by Joe Biden, President of the United States, to combat the slide shortage. Other brands such as Intel and Samsung have also announced the establishment of factories to boost the production of these plants in the United States, although experts indicated that TSMC will continue to conduct research and development in Taiwan, which will not benefit the North American country as Biden wishes. However, the $ 50 billion stimulus does not exclude international companies.
Also, the plant in the US will benefit TSMC because 67% of its customers are from North America, 17% are Asian, and 6% are representatives in Europe and the Middle East.
Imagine: TSMC.
