TAIPEI -- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. and its suppliers plan to send several hundred additional workers from Taiwan to Arizona in order to speed up construction of its first chip plant in the U.S. in more than two decades, sources briefed on the matter told Nikkei Asia.
Construction of the plant has already fallen behind schedule due to labor shortages and other factors, and TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, has admitted construction costs have exceeded expectations.
