Take a look inside TSMC’s silicon manufacturing facility in Arizona
Screenshot
The cutting-edge processors Apple uses across all its products are manufactured using its own chip designs by TSMC. Now that company has published a video which gives you the best glimpse yet on what happens on the Apple Silicon production line.
High tech in Arizona
The TSMC video takes you inside its all-new fabrication plant in Arizona.
You’ll grab a glimpse of the robots whirring away in the clean room and watch as a slab of chips gets made. You also get a chips-eye view as it is taken down the production line, including glimpses of those ASML ultraviolet lithography machines printing chips. It’s a much watch video for anyone who wants to get a better understanding of how these components are made.
The company’s factory in Arizona is producing over 15,000 wafers per month, and the close glimpse at how those processors are made is unique.
Look at it below
I like how $TSM posted a video about its new Arizona Fab, where they explain how chips are made using EUV equipment from $ASML, and they even include small clips provided by $ASML.

The processors made aren’t the latest iteration, but the company is building a production line capable of building the N3 and N2-series chips used in the current Apple devices. What we see in this clip are processors made using TSMC’s N5 and N4 processes (5nm and 4nm chips), which could conceivably encompass the A16 bionic and processors used in Macs.
