TSMC Commits $100 Billion to Expand U.S. Semiconductor Production

The Taiwanese chipmaker plans to build three additional factories in Arizona, bolstering U.S. chip manufacturing amid geopolitical tensions over Taiwan.

TSMC announced a $100 billion investment to expand its semiconductor manufacturing footprint in the United States over the coming years.
The new investment will fund the construction of three additional factories in Arizona, bringing the total to six facilities in the state.
This announcement follows a previous $65 billion commitment under the Biden administration, supported by over $6 billion in U.S. government subsidies.
The expansion aims to address Western concerns about over-reliance on Taiwan for high-performance chips, particularly in light of escalating tensions with China.
TSMC plans to produce cutting-edge chips with two-nanometer technology at one of the new factories, which is expected to be operational by 2028.
