TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) is currently experiencing significant difficulties in its efforts to set up advanced chip production facilities in Arizona. This initiative, although backed by a colossal $65 billion investment in three factories, has not been without its problems. According to TSMC's CEO, C.C. Wei, overcoming intricate compliance issues, stringent local construction regulations, and extensive permitting requirements has posed substantial delays and cost increases. As a result, it seems the company's most advanced chip technology will continue to be primarily based in Taiwan for the foreseeable future.
