Interesting article about the TSMC AZ Fab:
When Mino Morgese joined Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company in late 2021, his new employer arranged for a psychologist to prepare him and other newly hired US staff for the culture shock that might arise from working for a Taiwanese company.
Less than two years later, the Italian-born, US-trained engineer has embraced life at the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturer — so much so that he is managing the move-in of machinery into the new fabrication plant, or fab, in Arizona at TSMC’s first big manufacturing base in America.“It doesn’t happen often that such a huge fab is being built and that it’s all cutting-edge technology,” says Morgese, who feels pride in being one of the pioneers helping to build the plant.
