TSMC invests $100B to build 3 fabrication plants, 2 advanced packaging facilities, and an R&D center in the U.S.
TSMC has announced plans to expand its investment in advanced semiconductor manufacturing in the United States. The company will invest an additional $100 billion on top of the previously announced $65 billion investment to fund TSMC’s advanced semiconductor manufacturing operations in Phoenix, Arizona. This new funding will be used to build three new fabrication plants, two advanced packaging facilities, and a major R&D team center. The company expects the project to generate hundreds of billions of dollars in semiconductor value for AI and other applications, as well as create tens of thousands of new jobs. TSMC claims that this expansion will help strengthen the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem by increasing American production of advanced semiconductor technology.
What people are saying
In a recent quote, TSMC Chairman and CEO Dr. C.C. Wei said, “Back in 2020, thanks to President Trump’s vision and support, we embarked on our journey of establishing advanced chip manufacturing in the United States. This vision is now a reality. AI is reshaping our daily lives and semiconductor technology is the foundation for new capabilities and applications. With the success of our first fab in Arizona, along with needed government support and strong customer partnerships, we intend to expand our U.S. semiconductor manufacturing investment by an additional $100 billion, bringing our total planned investment to $165 billion.”
