AdvertisementTSMC's Phoenix chip factories likely won't eliminate US dependence on tech from Taiwan.
Experts told BI that TSMC's most advanced chips will likely continue to be produced in Taiwan.
TSMC produces an estimated 90% of the world's advanced chips, which power everything from iPhones to cars.
While TSMC's Phoenix factories are expected to boost semiconductor chip production in the US, the company isn't making its most advanced chips stateside, industry experts told Business Insider.
For example, chips produced using 4 nanometer (nm) technology are expected to be made in the first Phoenix factory, while TSMC's Taiwan factories are already producing chips using 3nm technology.
