“We have been seeing this kind of tool delivery problem unexpectedly from the beginning of this year,” said TSMC CEO C.C. Wei on earnings call. “So far 2022 has no problem, and we are working on 2023 and beyond.”
“We have increased regular high-level communications to track their progress,” added Wei talking about his suppliers, “we have sent several teams on-site to support our suppliers and are working closely with them to identify critical chips that are affecting the tool delivery.”
