Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) faces a delay in production at its $40 billion Arizona plant due to a shortage of skilled workers in the U.S. The company cites a lack of experience in specific tools and techniques as the reason behind the talent gap. However, not everyone supports TSMC's approach.
"[U.S. workers] just don't have experience on these specific tools and techniques," Harrison said.
Much of the semiconductor supply chain is based overseas, which means there are fewer qualified workers to staff these facilities here in the U.S. "I think they're inexperienced operating on a global fashion. Samsung hasn't complained as they're building in the U.S., but they're very much a global company," Gelsinger said.
