Awaiting a Deal, TSMC Chairman Reiterates Support for Arizona Fab
By Junko Yoshida, EETimes (June 18, 2020)
TAIPEI — TSMC Chairman Mark Liu sees several advantages in setting up a chip plant in Arizona, as he negotiates the deal with the Trump Administration.
The biggest benefit will be closer proximity to customers, Liu said at a press event in Hsinchu, Taiwan, last week. TSMC, which has most of its operations in Taiwan, will also have better access to skilled workers from around the world, he added.
“Taiwan is a small place,” Liu told reporters. “I hope to use some of the world’s most elite talent.”
Liu notes the many strengths of a production site in Arizona.
