TSMC invests an additional $100 billion in the United States, setting a record for the largest foreign investment in U.S. history
Recently, TSMC announced an additional $100 billion investment in the United States, bringing the total investment to $165 billion, setting a record for the largest foreign investment in U.S. history. Trump, Wei Zhejia and the U.S. Secretary of Commerce attended the announcement ceremony.
The funds will build three wafer fabs, two advanced packaging facilities and a research and development center in Arizona. TSMC is expected to create 40,000 jobs and drive more than $200 billion in indirect economic output in the next decade.
This move responds to the U.S. semiconductor repatriation policy and will also improve the U.S. AI supply chain. TSMC's main customers in the United States include chip design giants such as Apple, Nvidia and AMD, and the investment will provide them with a more stable supply of high-end chips.
