Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs has denied rumors that the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) plans to shift some of its chip manufacturing capacity to China. The rumors surfaced earlier this week as some speculated that TSMC would shift to its facility in Nanjing, China, as it faces water and electricity shortages in Taiwan. This alleged shift, now denied by the Taiwanese government, would involve the capacity relocation of 12,000 wafers for mature chipmaking processes such as the 28nm chip node.
