Due to the progress of TSMC's factories in Arizona, TSMC will send more workers to the local area to catch up.
Comprehensive Nikkei Asia and Reuters report that the wafer fab is planned to be put into use in 2024, and the second factory established near the first factory will be in 2026run.
However, people familiar with the matter said that due to factors such as labor force, the construction progress of the new plant is backward, and the cost is exceeded expected.To this end, TSMC dispatched employees to the local area.
TSMC said in a statement that the company has decided to send experienced professional employees to the local rescue field, because the US factory is currently in "the key stage of all advanced and special equipment."TSMC said that it is not yet certain how many employees to send to Arizona, but the special working group will catch up in a limited time, which will not affect the 10,000 workers who currently work on the scene every day, nor will it affect the recruitment.
But the three sources quoted by the Nikkei Asia said that TSMC and suppliers are negotiating with the US government to assist in applying for non -immigrant visas for workers. I hope that more than 500 people will be dispatched in July to the United States to speed up the constructionThe dust -free room facilities, installation pipelines and other equipment.Workers in the United States will include experienced workers in professional fields such as contract technicians and dust -free rooms, pipeline installation, chip factory machinery and electrical systems.
A TSMC supervisor said that the company lacks American workers with first -hand experience in building semiconductor manufacturing facilities, and many people are not familiar with the requirements of chip manufacturers, causing a number of installation projects to delay.
It is reported that TSMC's decision directly from Taiwan to send workers to rescue the field not only highlights the challenges facing TSMC ’s overseas expansion, but also highlights the obstacles that Washington tries to rebuild the scientific and technological supply chain and implement the obstacles faced by the localization of advanced semiconductor production.Essence
