- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd (NYSE:TSM) explored building a semiconductor factory in Singapore to help address a global supply shortage, the Wall Street Journal reports.
- TSMC studied the feasibility of production lines that would make 7- to 28-nanometer chips widely used in cars, smartphones, and other devices.
