\tTSMC chairman Mark Liu reportedly confirmed the company was considering creating its first semiconductor plant in Europe, as a wider push around increased global chip production gathers momentum.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg reported Liu told shareholders at TSMC’s AGM it was in the preliminary stages of reviewing whether opening a wafer plant in Germany was feasible.<\/p>\n

Any decision “will depend on our customers\u2019 needs\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

The plan to branch out into Europe follows moves by the company to expand its presence in the US, with its board in 2020 approving the creation of a subsidiary in the country [1] with $3.5 billion in capital.<\/p>\n

It will be based in Arizona, the same location where the company plans to build a $12 billion semiconductor factory, due to begin operations in 2024.<\/p>\n

Global push
\nTSMC has previously concentrated the bulk of its production in Taiwan, but in addition to the US and Germany, Nikkei Asia reported it is also looking at building a facility in Japan.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg noted Liu tackled this in his comments to shareholders, explaining Japan had different challenges, with the cost to build and operate a plant coming with a \u201cmuch higher\u201d cost than in doing so in Taiwan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are directly discussing with our clients ways to narrow the cost gap there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

TSMC\u2019s global push comes as a global chip shortage continues to impact the production of numerous electronics.<\/p>\n

The company is major supplier for Apple and Qualcomm, and in April predicted\u00a0the chip shortage would last until 2022 [2].<\/p>\n
