TSMC is reportedly skeptical about certain conditions that the US has attached in its multi billion dollar incentive package. The company aims to receive the sizeable incentive but it wants to get it with some changes on these conditions.
For those unaware, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is the world’s largest contract chipmaker and is seeking to establish an advancing semiconductor production line in the US. This move arrives as the US aims to offer subsidies to chipmakers for setting up their chip production facilities in the region. But while there is a whopping 15 billion US Dollars subsidies, the semiconductor giant is worried about the conditions that come with this incentive.
The company has already tripled its planned investment into its new Arizona plant, which is now hit the 40 billion US Dollar mark. But, it is concerned regarding certain conditions, which are related to the profit share from its operations within the US. The incentive being offered to TSMC requires the company to share profits from the factories. Sources close to the matter added that the rules also require it to provide detailed information regarding its operations as well.
Unfortunately, the chipmaker has yet to respond to any comments regarding this matter. Based on what we know so far, the company’s Arizona plant will be responsible in producing advanced 3nm process based chips. TSMC also claimed that this site would be capable of making 20,000 wafers every month. So sticka round for more updates regarding this matter.
