TSMC’s Arizona Trials Put Plant Productivity on Par with Taiwan

[hist78]

"The Taiwanese chipmaker’s yield rate in trial production at its first advanced US plant is similar to comparable facilities in the southern Taiwanese city of Tainan, according to a person familiar with the company, who asked not to be identified discussing private corporate matters. TSMC had said it started engineering wafer production in April with advanced 4-nanometer process technology."

tsmc Arizona's wafer yield rate not an issue, but wafer pricing does!

I would hope so. It would be a real disaster if they could not get the same yield despite building the fab while already having a working process and bringing most of the engineers from Taiwan to operate it.

you can trust tsmc yield ramp capability, as most (if not all) of its customers do!
