TSMC told The Reg<\/em> it has no “plans at this time” to site one of its factories in Europe but wouldn’t rule anything out amid reports that the world’s most strategically important chipmaker was sending senior suits to Dresden, Germany, to discuss the possibility of a factory there.<\/p>\n

Its comments come weeks after German business magazine Capital<\/a> reported a TSMC delegation had already traveled to Saxony to discuss the possibility of building a fab there in October.<\/p>\n

The FT this morning claimed an additional delegation would arrive next year to make a “final decision” on whether to spend billions on a plant expected to begin construction by “as early as 2024.” The paper quoted<\/a> (paywall) an executive from a supplier that would provide key materials to the proposed Dresden plant as saying: “We would try to support our customers. We wouldn’t let [them] walk alone in the desert.” The source told the paper that support from the state would be required.<\/p>\n
