No TSMC plants exist in America right now.
- gok 6y agoActually, TSMC has operated a fab in Camas, Washington for many years.
- lliamander 6y agoOh, interesting! Thanks for the correction.
- rrss 6y agoNote that the wafertech/TSMC fab11 only does processes down to 0.16 um. https://www.wafertech.com/en/foundry/technology.html https://www.wafertech.com/en/foundry/technology.html

- marcell 6y agoI'm not really following the logic... GP said this (TSMC intending to build a factory in US) was bad for US, because China could march into Taiwan and cut off US ability to make chips. Wouldn't a TSMC plant in US be good? Since US would have the factory on its own soil? What am I missing?
- lliamander 6y agoMy understanding of the GP is that the current situation with TSMC only in Taiwan is a disaster. So I think they are actually in agreement with you and I that this is (or could be) a good thing.
- marcell 6y agoAh, got it. I mis-parsed the comment.
