From the CEO of Taiwan Semiconductor on today's quarterly review ..... sounds like some excellent paying jobs to me.
"Let me talk about TSMC's additional USD100 billion investment plan to expand in Arizona. All our overseas decisions are based on our customers' need, as they value some geographic flexibility, and necessary level of government support. This is also to maximize the value for our shareholders.
With a strong collaboration and support from our leading US customers and the US Federal, state, and city government, we recently announced our intention to invest an additional USD100 billion in advanced semiconductor manufacturing in the United States.
This expansion includes plans for three additional wafer manufacturing fabs, two advanced packaging fabs, and a major R&D center. Combinedwith our previously announced plan to build three advanced semiconductor manufacturing fabs in Arizona, this brings our total investment in the US to USD165 billion to support the strong multi-year demand from our customers.
Our first fab in Arizona has already successfully entered high-volume production in 4Q ‘24, utilizing N4 process technology, with a yield comparable to our fabs in Taiwan."
