      The initial plan had been for the first fab to achieve full production this year, but the timeline was delayed due to several workforce challenges. These included difficulties in finding skilled workers locally, cultural differences between TSMC’s Taiwanese management and American employees, and a shortage of skilled construction workers that slowed the building process. This delay raised concerns about TSMC’s ability to maintain efficiency with its US operations compared to its facilities in Taiwan.

      Recent success in trial production has alleviated some of these concerns. TSMC has confirmed that the Arizona project is progressing as planned, although the company has not commented specifically on yield rates.

        Corporate komissar spotted

        I guess they are learning that creating proper incentive structures works better than running some clown PR campaign about management failures.

        A man can dream!

      The headlines I saw were more blaming TSMC management for the misunderstanding, but yes, that did happen.

    I thought I read somewhere they are a year behind on ramping up actual real world production cuz of course shocker americans don’t want to work 65 hours a week being abused the entire time. Cannot staff it as of this spring as far as I know. Drive past it all the time and never fails to strike me as a prime bomb target for the next enemy.

      I feel like if anyone attempted to bomb an American TSMC plant, there would be far larger problems on the docket to come.

    Once it’s up to speed the CIA can start sabotaging the Taiwan facilities.
