A worker died at TSMC's Chiayi CoWoS packaging plant construction site after being struck by a fallen transformer box. The incident has halted construction and triggered an investigation, raising workplace safety concerns amid Taiwan’s semiconductor expansion.
Taiwanese semiconductor suppliers are expected to follow TSMC's U.S. expansion in the coming years, but relocation may take up to eight years. TSMC's U.S. investments are part of a broader strategy to mitigate geopolitical risks, but the shift in the supply chain may depend on future production increases.
