TSMC announces a $100 billion investment to expand semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S.

Event information

- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has announced an additional $100 billion investment in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing, bringing its total U.S. investment to $165 billion. The expansion includes the construction of three new fabrication plants, two advanced packaging facilities, and a major research and development center in Arizona. This initiative is expected to create between 20,000 to 25,000 high-paying jobs and strengthen the U.S. semiconductor supply chain. The U.S. Department of Commerce has awarded TSMC's Arizona subsidiary a $6.6 billion grant to support this expansion. However, market concerns have led to a 4% decline in TSMC's U.S.-listed shares, with potential trade policies and tariffs posing risks to the investment.
