TSMC Announces $100 Billion Investment in US Chipmaking
TSMC will invest at least $100 billion to expand chip manufacturing in the US, with two new factories to be built in addition to three previously announced facilities in Arizona. The investment builds upon existing commitments of $65 billion and $6.6 billion under the CHIPS Act. TSMC's expansion aims to establish itself as a major player in the global chip market.
- This significant investment underscores the critical role that the US plays in the global semiconductor supply chain, with implications for national security and economic competitiveness.
- How will this increased presence of Taiwanese companies in the US influence the domestic industry's ability to develop its own chipmaking capabilities?
