The heart of advanced chip production is in Taiwan, where two of TSMC’s plants are reportedly completely booked as the manufacturer aims to reach 100,000 monthly wafers by the end of 2026. Seeing as how the region is the forefront for next-generation lithography, the Arizona plant in the U.S. that has employed hundreds of engineers cannot progress without additional training. According to a new report, these individuals are being sent overseas to learn the ins and outs of 3nm and 2nm production, which will later give the Arizona plant a significant edge in securing chip orders.

In 2021, the U.S. had previously sent engineers to Taiwan for a year and a half for training purposes

Currently, the U.S. plant is focused on 5nm and 4nm production, and will eventually gravitate to the more ad
