The instruction by TSMC, which is grappling with delays at its $40 billion chip factory in Arizona, is aimed at controlling costs and reflects the company's growing caution about the outlook for demand, the sources said. In an interview with Reuters last week, ASML CEO Peter Wennink said some orders for its high-end tools have been pushed back, without naming customers, and that he expected it would be a"short-term management" issue."We've had several reports about fab readiness. Not only in Arizona ... but also in Taiwan," Wennink told Reuters, referring to preparations for chip manufacturing.
TSMC Chairman Mark Liu said last week there had been"tremendous" improvement at the Arizona site in the last five months.The Taiwanese chip giant is not alone in worrying a bounce back in demand may take longer than expected. TSMC used to make chips for Huawei but suspended supplies after Washington imposed sanctions on the Chinese firm. Analysts have found Huawei worked with Chinese contract chipmaker Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp to manufacture an advanced chip for its latest smartphone.
