It is reported that TSMC is considering building a factory in Dresden, Germany, and the team has visited Germany many times.

January 17 news, according to foreign media reports, sources revealed that TSMC, which has built wafer plants in the United States and Japan, is likely to build factories in Dresden, Germany.

TSMC is likely to build a plant in Dresden, and TSMC's team has visited Germany several times in the past two years to assess the possibility of building a 12-inch fab, according to a source from the fab tool maker.

Sources revealed that the plant that TSMC may build is likely to be the fab they will build in Europe.

In February 2021, nine months after TSMC announced a plant in Arizona and nine months before it announced a plant in Japan, some industry observers thought TSMC was expected to build advanced chip plants in Europe.

In December 2021, he Limei, TSMC's senior deputy general manager in charge of Eurasian operations and now in charge of human resources, revealed that they were in talks with Germany about a potential plant.

As to whether TSMC will eventually build a plant in Dresden and whether it will build a long-rumored European fab, it will be announced when they officially announce it. But if built, it will be their first fab in Europe.
