TSMC had a banner 2024, thriving amid big demand for AI chips and other advanced computing.

Near Portland, though, TSMC operates an aging fab using technology that hasn't been cutting edge in a quarter century.

That fab (formerly WaferTech) posted its worst results in at least a dozen years.
Chipmaker TSMC is booming, but its factory near Portland is at a low point
The Camas site was its parent company’s first factory in the United States. Now it’s a big outlier.

張忠謀:臺灣半導體優勢二三十年後將不再
2023年10月14日,臺積電創辦人張忠謀說,約在27、28年前,在美國建廠可說是他的夢想,所以當時成立WaferTech,但這個夢想在兩、三年間就變成噩夢,因為遇到包括文化各種問題,現在臺積電已經和20幾年前的臺積電完全不同,人才、資金、技術統統都比當時要好,換句話說,臺積電現在已有更好的準備,也許20幾年前的夢想,可以在今天實現。但恐怕二、三十年以後就不會是這樣,相信臺灣半導體製造環境也不會那麽有利,這跟政府政策發展有關。但他沒有進一步提及是何種政策會導致優勢降低。
因為誰都明白,臺灣經濟表面繁榮,一旦半導體優勢不再,臺灣經濟將面臨災難。
