‌$Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ is reportedly in talks to build a major new fabrication facility in Asia, as part of measures to address the global chip shortage. As its new $12 billion plant in Arizona is delayed, TSMC is said to be having preliminary talks with Singapore's Economic Development Board about building a new facility there, home to many processor manufacturers.


Will Singapore succeed in attracting TSMC to add to its growing semiconductor industry? 


IMHO, Singapore stand a very good chance as there are various attractive attributes that other countries in the region does not offer. Having a fabrication facility in Singapore is definitely more profitable than having one in USA.

    I can't figure out why TSMC would run to the US to build a plant.

      It’s politics. TSM being held at ransom to have fab there else will keep getting ‘disturbed’ just like how Huawei and ZTE have experienced. TSM chairman oredi stated US fab unlikely profitable.

    Singapore will bring a lot of help to TSM's development.

    I also think it would be a good decision to build the plant in Singapore.

    TSM should focus on Asia.

    UMC, SSMC, STM, Siltronics, Global Foundry, Micron…some of the big names of semicon fabs here. Global Foundry & Micron have already announced fab expansion in SG over last one year.
