Japan's Rapidus project, which brings together some of the world's biggest companies, is the "last opportunity" to put the country's once-dominant semiconductor sector back on the global map, its chairman warned. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/05/17/companies/rapidus-could-revive-japan-semiconductors/ #business #companies #rapidus #chipmakers #tech #tsmc

Explosion rocks Phoenix fab with one death 😨

My team at discussed this.

Hopefully some lessons can be learned and future injury/death prevented.

#tsmc in Arizona: a concrete monster hungry for water, in the middle of the desert, driving a culture shock. A debacle? That’s quite a story by Rest of the World.

I wonder how this will play out in Dresden, when the new chip facility comes.

The NLRB should investigate #TSMC:

“I love challenges & pushing myself, but this was lunatic-level ldrshp."

Bruce: reality of working at TSMC wasn’t exactly what he'd envisioned. While working on nanometer-level processes to make state-of-the-art chips -struggled w language barriers, long hours, & a strict hierarchy -PROD at the FAC: now set to start in 2025.

TSMC insiders: key to co’s success: intense, MIL-style work ENVIR. Engineers work 12-hr days-.

No news but Interesting how the CEO's of Nvidia (Jensen Huang) and AMD (Lisa Su) are actually related. TSMC is also from Taiwan which illustrates how important this country is in the chip industry.

Le tremblement de terre d’une magnitude de 6,4 sur l’échelle de Richter, qui a secoué le sud de Taïwan le 7 février 2016, soulève des inquiétudes sur la chaine mondiale d’approvisionnement électronique. #TSMC
