Once Apple finishes its verification process, TSMC will take three months from the start of commercial mass production to the first output of chips. The publication reveals that the factory has more than 2,000 employees, including experienced engineers brought over from Taiwan, university graduates recruited aggressively from campuses across America, and US military veterans to serve as technicians to run daily operations and production.
“Military veterans play key roles in enhancing U.S. manufacturing capability, as many of them have good mechanical and electronic engineering skill sets, and they also have great discipline when it comes to work and following the standard operation procedures to run cutting-edge chip plants,” one chip executive with knowledge of the matter told Nikkei Asia.
Just last week, BGR reported that the TSMC Arizona factory has also started making Apple Watch chips in the US, as they’re based on the same 4nm technology process. While the manufacturer is still in the first phase of making these chips, it’s possible that soon they will undergo the same verification process that Apple is using for its A16 Bionic chips. That said, the company could plan to use those processors in new products starting the second half of the year.
BGR will keep following TSMC and Apple’s plans to manufacture some of its best chips in America.
