TSMC is doing better in Japan because the food is better in Japan
945 |
As a Taiwanese and friends of few who works in tsmcâŚ
US government and locals do not work with tsmc that smooth. Rules after rules and very slow process, and donât care about timeline.
On the other hand, Japanese just generally want it to work out, therefore they really work with tsmc and putting a lot of time and effort to catch up the calendar they have set.
Although they are very serious about their âShokuninâ mindset ,they are open to adjusting rules and overall setting to learn the essences of how tsmc do the job and implement to their own SOP.
But I hope the AZ project can work out and catch up.

Kumamoto Prefecture, where the TSMC plant was built, is truly my hometown. I have also seen the process of their factory construction. Here is an excerpt from a news report. "Kumamoto University is the first university in 75 years to establish a new organization to serve as a faculty. The university aims to produce 150 graduates in five years who will be employed in semiconductor-related companies."
...I don't know anything about this field, but I can say, as a local individual, that thanks to the new industry, a rail line will be built between Kumamoto Airport and Higo Ozu Station. This is news of great pleasure to me!
...This is all I can say. đ

I am a huge fan of your channel and the way you explain the extremely complex world of semiconductor manufacturing, but my goodness the dry as hell humor is just the cherry on top

fab12, fab 22, fab 32, fab 42 , intel r&d, and god blessed me with fab21. i walk 8.5 miles a day. and i break my body to get those factories built in AZ. i am a dedicated american worker, far and few but we are dedicated and wont let you down tsmc. thank you for this blessing, thanks to asianometry you have educated me.

I'm happy that the Dresden project is taking the "known good" route. The whole Chips Act always looked to me as a "If Intel keeps eating their crayons and sniffing their glue"-emergency-exit kind of mechanism.

I am in the UA and we have a huge labor shortage of welders fitters plumbers for all the fabs currently being built. Welders will literally work for a company for a week be offered another 10$ an hour by someoen across the street. They will go make that money then be offered more to go back to the former employer. The shortage is real, and its real nice for workers right now.

Why Japan is doing it better? Because they collaborate with local companies which are already collaborating with TSMC. You have conglomerates like Sony, Mitsubishi Heavy Ind. and Mitsubishi Elec. and many, many others who are in it because it's good for Japan. Where as in USA you get companies which are on it because they were cheaper than competition, you do not have local high-tech companies to support it and all they see is money.

If I remember correctly the Japanese first phase uses DUV since it's 28nm which actually DOES refer to something. It stops referring to anything dropping down below somewhere in the realm of 14nm depending on the company.
Getting a DUV lab up and running is VERY commonplace for TSMC now.
On the other hand AZ is loaded with problems, starting with even the construction, water issues where TSMC has to recycle almost all the water they use, and on and on and on. It's also using EUV which is a much harder lithography to get perfect.
N4 is a variant of N5 so it's not a big change for them to start with N4. This was always a possibility for them and it makes sense because different American companies are using N4 for different parts, the biggest being AMD. Nvidia currently uses N4 but their next product lines should be N3, and Apple is using N3, so phase 2 for the AZ plant should be N3. AMD on the other hand is using mostly N5 and N6 with SOME parts on N4. The AZ plant will probably never make anything for Apple since Apple always wants to have a node advantage and are on the newest nodes, but they can make parts for a lot of other chipmakers who don't want to be on the newest node for various reasons.

I read that TSMC's CEO asked Sony to join as a partner. Maybe he learned from the difficulties TSMC encountered in the US. Imagine if TSMC's leading US customers, Apple, Nvidia, and Qualcomm, joined the project in AZ. The project would have a more vigorous push to make it happen.

Arizona USA is probably one of the worst place on earth to make chips, TSMC engineers who came back from Arizona are very pessimistic about that project.

As an American in this industry, word on the ground is that a big problem has been finding skilled personnel and hiring - TSMC reached out to try and recruit me for the Arizona fab, but were asking me to move to Taiwan for training for 1-2 years. That just wasn't an option for my family.
Moving to a country with my wife and kids where none of us speak the language might have been an option if it wasn't for the fact it also would cause immigration headaches for them upon returning to the USA because they are green-card holders.

I am guessing it's because everyone in Japan is interested in getting the project going, it's a matter of national survival. And Japanese can be very collaborative, working as a team. What's good for one town is good for the nation.
In Arizona, there's a) labor shortage and b) more local, state and federal politics involved, for instance around the water usage, labor, land acquisition, many other things.

Japan: has water, Arizona: does not have water

they dont ask you to go to taiwan its a mandatory part of the job, I was offered this type of posistion in 2021, you had to commit to staying in taiwan for 3 years after which you had to come back to AZ and spend at least 2 years there.
keep in mind this is all for a shit wage compared to simlar possitions that didnt require me to move

I visited the area there in Kikuyo last august, that time they were already done with construction for the most part, now I hear that they will launch another one in Yatsushiro.

@Asianometry you are incredible at this form of content! You are thorough, honest, accurate, and perfectly paced.

Not a big suprise. Japan dominated the semiconductor industry with 50+% of chips being made in japan but USA killed japanese semiconductor industry in '87.

Yar, the obvious reason is the difference in how US civil construction compares to Japanese. A sink hole larger than the size of the 8+ lane intersection collapses in Japan, Tokyo or somewhere and it's back up and ready for use in less than 10 days. In the US, a sink hole the size of a single car lane takes 10 *months*.

I watched your video since frenshman year, now I have a job offer from tsmc az. I thank you for keeping me interested in this field for the last 4 years.
