TSMC: Chairman Liu, shortage of development personnel on the US side: high production costs are a problem

-Dispersion of semiconductor production areas in the United States-

TSMC Chairman Liu :

He expressed a negative view in relation to “dispersion of semiconductor production areas in the United States.”

For semiconductor production, the current United States does not have an ideal production environment.

Industry and Commerce Bulletin:

Regarding the dispersion of semiconductor production areas in the United States,

Against the backdrop of a shortage of development personnel on the US side
The high production cost of the United States is regarded as a problem.

TSMC Chairman Liu :
Intel Gelsinger CEO:

Both responded to an interview with the US media.

Gelsinger:

“75% of the world’s semiconductors are produced in Asia”

This is a big problem. He insisted that the production areas should be dispersed in the future.

Mr. Liu:

In order to promote the decentralization of production areas in the United States, “the United States needs to develop more doctoral and master’s human resources.”

Even if production is transferred to the United States in the current situation, “rising labor costs due to a shortage of human resources, etc.” will be a barrier to business.

Supply and demand will be resolved after 2023:

Mr. Liu and Mr. Gelsinger agree on the timing of the elimination of the tight supply and demand situation.

“Both of them expected to be resolved after 2023.”

Semiconductor industry is “Taiwan’s shield”:

Mr. Liu:

“The current situation where semiconductor production areas are concentrated in Taiwan contributes to Taiwan’s security.”

The semiconductor industry described it as Taiwan’s silicon shield.

The whole world needs semiconductors made in Taiwan.

“Currently, the world does not want the outbreak of war in Taiwan,” he said.
