TSMC thread 1/? - several non-financial notes of interest from TSMC's earnings call yesterday: $TSM #semiconductor
#2 TSMC in Japan $TSM
TSMC is doing due diligence now for a specialty technology wafer fab in Japan. No final decision yet.
Over 20 companies have joined the advanced chip packaging technology R&D initiative led by TSMC. The project is aimed at HPC (high performance computing).

#3 TSMC Arizona $TSM
TSMC expects 5nm production at the #Arizona fab to begin in the 1st quarter of 2024, but TSMC hopes it will start earlier. AND
“We do not rule out the possibility of a 2nd phase of expansion to meet our customers’ strong demand,” Chairman Mark Liu.

#5 TSMC in Taiwan $TSM
Taiwan will remain the center for TSMC’s R&D and ramp up of leading edge manufacturing processes, with 3-nanometer set for the Tainan Science Park (southern Taiwan). TSMC will also continue to also expand in northern and central Taiwan. - Chairman Mark Liu

#6 TSMC on the Auto Industry $TSM
TSMC raised output of key chips (MCUs) 30% in the 1st half of 2021, targeting 60% full year. The automotive #semiconductor shortage will begin to ease this quarter. Complex supply chain means it takes 6-months for a chip to reach the end customer

#9 TSMC's China business revival $TSM
China accounted for 11% of 2nd quarter (2Q) revenue, up from 6% in 1Q and 6% in 4Q-2020. High performance computing (HPC) drove growth.
TSMC's revenue from China was over 20% before Huawei was targeted by the U.S. over security concerns.
