>Microchip has one in Tempe or Nogales.

Lol Microchip doesn't belong on the same list as Intel, TSMC, and Samsung.

You’d be shocked - anything that requires RF, like car key fobs, gate/garage remotes and discrete power/timing/IO, chances are those components are coming from Microchip, Intersil, ST Micro, ADC and National Semiconductor. Part of the electronics shortage - plenty of the “big” chips like DRAM/NAND, CPUs/GPUs/SoCs but not enough of the supporting cast like RF/discrete power/IO/networking/timing/battery monitoring - those are all specialized ICs that don’t use the latest and greatest process tech but have an important supporting role.

Yes, thank you for understanding and providing a list of manufacturers that Microchip does belong on.
