(in Taiwan)
But also:
At the TSMC second-quarter earnings conference and conference call on Thursday, TSMC chairman C.C. Wei (魏哲家) said that after the completion of the company’s US$165 billion investment in the US, “about 30 percent of our 2-nanometer and more advanced capacity will be located in Arizona, creating an independent leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing cluster in the US.”
The Arizona investment includes six advanced wafer manufacturing fabs, two advanced packaging fabs and a major research and development center.
But unless it's cheaper to do so, or they're required by law to do so, they're just going to pump cleaner starting water out of the drinking supply and use that.
And good luck finding a city or state government that's not so desperate for big industry and tech jobs to arrive that they will hold their feet to the fire and demand they cut water use.
why not do a simple google search?
They might build factories outside Taiwan you never know.
From the article:
"about 30 percent of our 2-nanometer and more advanced capacity will be located in Arizona"
I wish they’d take the next step with the defense treaty to move even more capacity (esp for the highest grade stuff) to stateside.
