EDIT: Apparently it's a different plant.

It's not just Infineon - it's called the European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) and is a joint venture by TSMC, Bosch, Infineon, and NXP, with TSMC being the majority (70%) shareholder.

I've met one of the engineers designing the piping for that plant. Hardest project to date for him and mainly because TSMC was setting the pace.

These are different plants, that are situated in the same quarter.

FFS, we can't even come up with an original name, they just replaced Taiwan with European.

US didn't call TSMC's Arizona fab, the American Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ASMC)

I can imagine their pace might be accelerated but better than endless discussions, shuffling and never shipping

Isn't that TSMC joint venture another plant that will open next year?
