The company says it needs to bring Taiwanese workers to Arizona to get construction back on track. But construction of TSMC's first Arizona factory, which began in the Phoenix area in 2021, has run into some hiccups. "Replacing Arizona's construction workers with foreign construction workers directly contradicts the very purpose for which the CHIPS Act was enacted – to create jobs for American workers," the petition says. The degree to which American workers can get the job done without additional assistance is up for debate. "It's easily the most unsafe site I've ever walked on," said Luke Kasper, a representative of the sheet metal workers union.

Now, as the shovels hit the ground to begin construction, companies are realizing how difficult it is to find talent. TSMC is bringing in workers from Taiwan to handle the high-tech equipment and train U.S. workers. The Arizona Pipe Trades 469 union has helped fund a website called "Stand with American Workers" accusing TSMC of overlooking Arizona workers in favor of Taiwanese counterparts in an attempt to "exploit cheap labor."

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company said on Tuesday it would team up with three German technology firms to build a facility in eastern Germany capable of producing up to 40,000 microchips each month as part of efforts to further diversify its production locations. TSMC, the world’s largest maker of semiconductors, said it would invest 3.5 billion euros ($3.8 billion) and own 70 percent of the joint venture, to be located in Dresden. The German companies Robert Bosch, Infineon Technologies and NXP Semiconductors will each control 10 percent. The combined private and public investment, “including strong support from the European Union and German government,” is expected to total €10 billion, the company said. The plant would be TSMC’s first location in Europe, and represents a win for Germany, which has been seeking out manufacturers of microchips, the tiny devices essential for the country’s large automotive industry and countless other devices.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which is manufacturing the world’s most advanced microchips, conducts business on the island of Taiwan, dead center in one of the most geopolitically volatile places on the planet. That makes people in Washington very nervous. TSMC dominates the semiconductor industry; it’s a company that the United States can’t do without, 80 miles off the coast of China. The U.S. government has appropriated tens of billions of dollars to strengthen America’s own semiconductor sector and help fund TSMC’s nascent operations in the United States, far from China, which has never renounced the use of force to absorb Taiwan. But TSMC has invested billions of its own over nearly four decades growing deep roots in Taiwan.

☆ TSMC leads in advanced chip packaging wars, LexisNexis patent data says
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-01 | by ( Max A. Cherney | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

Advanced chip packaging is a crucial technology that squeezes the most horsepower from the latest chip designs, and is crucial to chip contract manufacturers vying for business. The data from LexisNexis, released last month, indicates that TSMC and Samsung have steadily invested in advanced packaging technology for years, as Intel did not keep pace with its own filings. Packaging technology enabled the industry to stitch together several chips called "chiplets" - either stacked or adjacent to one another - within the same container. Samsung has been investing in advanced packaging for years but the South Korean chip giant established a dedicated team to pursue advanced packaging in December 2022, Moonsoo Kang, the unit's chief, said in a statement. Intel disputed the idea that the size of TSMC's patent portfolio indicated that it had developed more advanced technology.

The glut came after companies began to stockpile chips amid the shortage to build up inventories. From profit boost to income plungeThe pandemic-induced shortage of semiconductors helped boost chip makers' profits as prices jumped. Meanwhile, SK Hynix swung to a loss in the second quarter versus a profit in the same period last year. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the world's largest chipmaker, said last week that net income for the second quarter fell 23.3% from a year ago. Looking ahead, the PC market appears weak, which is likely to impact Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron.

The generative artificial intelligence boom has seen semiconductor stocks soar this year, no more so than Club holding Nvidia (NVDA). We're more cautious on AMD going into its earnings print on Aug. 1, as it doesn't have the same outsized exposure to generative AI technology as Nvidia. Similarly, in a research note Monday, analysts at JMP Securities said that while "demand around generative AI remains extremely robust," elsewhere enterprise IT budgets remain constrained. Semiconductor firms are either basking in the glory of generative AI demand, or working through excess inventory and IT budget-optimization dynamics. And when the semiconductor firms report next month, investors will have a clearer sense on inventory challenges.

Morgan Stanley analysts believe the market for obesity drugs is even larger than initially expected, a finding that aligns with our rosy outlook on Eli Lilly (LLY). The news: Obesity drugs could generate annual sales up to $77 billion in 2030, Morgan Stanley said Friday, a nearly 43% increase to the firm's previous forecast. Insurance reimbursement for obesity drugs has spread quicker than Morgan Stanley expected, which helped prompt the firm to update its multiyear sales outlook. However, there's been some concern that insurance companies would be hesitant to cover this new class of obesity drugs, which carry hefty price tags, along with side effects like nausea and vomiting.
