"approximately $165 billion has already been invested in Arizona, and the additional $100 billion will make this one of the largest external investments in the U.S."

The scale of the commitment underscores the strategic importance TSMC places on U.S. semiconductor production, a priority for both the company and the American government as it seeks to reduce reliance on overseas chip manufacturing. With the new funding, TSMC is positioned to significantly boost domestic chip output in the coming years.
