TSMC’s Major Investment in the US

Taiwanese chip manufacturer TSMC is preparing to make a $100 billion investment in the United States, including the construction of five new facilities. TSMC CEO C.C. Wei announced the planned $100 billion investment after a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House. The company is set to establish three new chip production facilities, two advanced packaging facilities, and a large R&D center in the United States. This new project will increase TSMC’s total investment in the US to approximately $165 billion. The new facilities in Arizona aim to enhance chip production capacity using advanced semiconductor manufacturing technologies. These investments are expected to increase the US semiconductor production capacity and technological independence. President Donald Trump welcomed the investments, stating, “We should be able to produce the chips and semiconductors we need here. This is a national security issue for us.” Experts note that these projects are also important for the Trump administration in financial terms, beyond national security. TSMC’s investment has the potential to make significant contributions to the country’s economy and employment. It is emphasized that the construction of the five facilities will create tens of thousands of new job opportunities. As the world’s largest chip manufacturer, the Taiwanese company serves giants in the technology sector. Apple, Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Broadcom are among TSMC’s customers. It is predicted that TSMC will increase its market share and continue its leadership in the sector by expanding its advanced semiconductor and chip production capacity with the new facilities in the United States.
