Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has reached a significant milestone in its expansion into the US. Recent trial production at the company's new Arizona facility has yielded results...
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.
Didnt they recently run headlines that Americans are lazy sack of shit that don’t want to work free unscheduled overtime ?

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.
