Many of the American companies in the microchip business without the capabilities to make the chip. Many of them are farbless companies. Apple has many chips but they can't make a single chip. They don't even have the ability to make Mac computer or Iphone either. Not only their products made overseas they didn't own the factories that made their products either. American businesses learned how to make a lot of money without making anything.
We’ve designed many of the chips but you’re correct they’re manufactured overseas. Unfortunately many of them are made in Taiwan. We have a huge exposure if China takes over the country.

I worked at a chip manufacture for 35 years but they were corn chips and tortilla chips.

Apple has started to buy Chinese chips for the iPhone. They say they will only use the Chinese chips in the phones sold in China. Who knows?

ASML is or was at least partially owned by Philips the Dutch mega company. Some time ago Philips spun off the semiconductor division into NXP. NXP makes many of the chips in the Netherlands, but most I'd guess are made in Taiwan by TSMC. TSMC is building two or more foundries in Arizona - preparing for the inevitable?
