TSMC plans more chip plants in Europe, Taiwan official says
TSMC is planning more plants in Europe with a focus on the market for AI chips, according to a senior Taiwanese official.
TSMC, which is the world’s biggest chip maker and produces most of its semiconductors in Taiwan, is spending tens of billions of dollars to set up new sites in the US, Japan and Germany, partly to hedge against rising geopolitical tensions with China. Wu said the AI market, including chips for US-based Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, will be the most important segment, while other semiconductor companies with alternative designs may also offer opportunities for TSMC. “Maybe they can work on the European market as well, so TSMC is looking for that for planning their next few fabs,” he said, adding that the company will need to evaluate whether to expand in Dresden or build in other parts of the EU.
