According to reports, Rick Cassidy, the CEO of TSMC in the United States, has disclosed the chip production figures at the factory in Phoenix, Arizona, with a yield rate higher than the factories in Taiwan by 4 percentage points, marking the first time a US factory has outperformed Taiwan in yield.
However, TSMC representatives have refused to comment on this news, citing statements from CEO C.C. Wei during the recent earnings call that the US factory started producing 4-nanometer chips in April with impressive results and good yield, seen as a significant milestone for TSMC and its customers.
Previously, TSMC had postponed starting production lines in the US due to labor shortages. This recent news indicates a positive sign that TSMC may accelerate production in America.
