Wu Cheng-wen, the chairman of Taiwan's National Science Council, said in an interview with Bloomberg that TSMC plans to build more fabs in Europe in addition to its facility near Dresden, Germany. While the Dresden fab built by ESMC, a joint venture between TSMC, Bosch, Infineon, and NXP, will focus primarily on chips for Germany's automotive industry, other fabs are said to focus on the AI sector, which implies on fairly advanced process technologies.
"They have started construction of the first fab in Dresden; they are already planning the next few fabs in the future for different market sectors as well," Wu Cheng-wen said in the interview with Bloomberg TV.
