TSMC said that the CHIPS Program Office should prioritize grant applicants that have a"long successful track record in advanced logic fabrication, R&D and existing sizable headcount that offers decisive proof points that the incentives provided will lead to a successful investment result."
The CHIPS and Science Act, which became law on Aug. 9, includes $52 billion to boost the domestic semiconductor industry, and several Arizona organizations are submitting applications to get a piece of the funding.TSMC said it has mostly relied on its own capital, supplemented by direct U.S. incentives, to build its chip complex in Arizona and doesn't view"access to capital as a significant barrier to growth" in the U.S.
The company also highlighted some of the differences in manufacturing in the U.S. versus other countries, adding that"the company can confirm that a range of construction costs and project uncertainty in Phoenix makes building the same advanced logic wafer fab in Taiwan considerably less capital intensive," it said.
TSMC said it has not experienced significant production delays but added that ensuring adequate sourcing and second sourcing for materials is a"common challenge."
