Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. told Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida that the chipmaker expects to reach 60% local procurement for its first chip plant in the country by 2030.
The comment was made by TSMC Chief Executive Officer C.C. Wei during his meeting with Kishida on Saturday when the official visited the company’s plant in Kumamoto. TSMC Spokesman Nina Kao told Bloomberg News that it’s a target for indirect materials used in manufacturing process but not included in the final products, and the goal doesn’t include machinery.
