Contract chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) said Thursday that it will expand its manufacturing capacity for automotive chips, amid a supply shortage that has snarled global automotive production.
TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, issued the statement days after German Economics Minister Peter Altmaier asked Taiwan’s government for help, following a suspension of automakers’ assembly lines in Germany, Japan and the United States due to chip shortages.
