TSMC already makes chips in the US through Wafertech in Washington (state)
- wyxuan 7y agothe article mentioned that, but you aren't having stuff like n7 or n10 nodes being done in US, which is what Washington presumably wants
- Nokinside 7y agoWafertech has 0.16-micron and above processes. The US wants TSMC's latest GIGAFAB's.
- metaphor 7y agoFrom the article: > The U.S. accounts for 60% of TSMC's sales, but the company operates only its subsidiary WaferTech there, producing chips for mature technologies. In this case[1], "mature technologies" appears to mean downto 160nm tech node...essentially irrelevant with respect to FPGAs.
