techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-11-13 02:41:00

The big picture: The U.S. and many Western markets are simply not as efficient as Taiwan in building semiconductor fabrication (fab) operations. According to reports, 18 new fab construction projects are planned for 2025 alone, making it crucial to address these challenges.

TSMC encountered significant challenges when it began construct
