Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is set to further expand its massive $165 billion investment in the United States, focusing on increasing chip production in Arizona. The move is driven by surging global demand for artificial intelligence chips, which require advanced manufacturing capabilities.
TSMC has already begun mass production at its first Arizona plant, achieving performance levels comparable to its top facilities in Taiwan. Encouraged by this progress, the company plans to accelerate construction of additional fabs and develop a large “gigafab cluster” in the state.
While TSMC’s most advanced research and development will remain in Taiwan, the expansion strengthens U.S. domestic semiconductor manufacturing and supports efforts to secure critical technology supply chains for the future.
