Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) announced Thursday it plans to spend an extra $100 billion to grow its U.S. business.<\/p>\n

The company says that money will likely help add four new fabrication plants in Arizona, which would make some of the world\u2019s most advanced computer chips, 2-nanometer and smaller.<\/p>\n

Those new factories would be added to TSMC\u2019s big Arizona project in the North Valley. The company has already announced a $165 billion expansion that includes six chip plants, two advanced-packaging facilities, and a research and development center. The site is south of Loop 303 and west of Interstate 17.<\/p>\n

Gov. Katie Hobbs called the investment a \u201cgame changer\u201d for Arizona. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is huge news for Arizona. TSMC is investing another $100B in our state, bringing their total commitment to $265B. This is a game-changer that cements AZ as the global epicenter of semiconductor manufacturing & innovation,\u201d the governor posted on X.<\/p>\n

\u201cTSMC\u2019s additional $100 billion investment is another defining moment for Phoenix, bringing the company\u2019s total Arizona commitment to an extraordinary $265 billion. As the councilwoman representing TSMC Arizona and chair of the City\u2019s Economic Development Subcommittee, I\u2019m proud that North Phoenix continues to lead one of the most important manufacturing and innovation hubs in the world.<\/i><\/p>\n

This investment not only strengthens TSMC\u2019s campus, it also expands a growing ecosystem of suppliers, creates high-quality jobs, and reinforces Arizona\u2019s position at the forefront of advanced semiconductor manufacturing.<\/i><\/p>\n

Semiconductors power everything from artificial intelligence and medical devices to aerospace and national defense. Expanding domestic chip production strengthens America\u2019s economy, supply chain, and national security, and Phoenix is proud to play a central role.<\/i><\/p>\n

Under Mayor Kate Gallego\u2019s leadership, Phoenix has worked intentionally to create an environment where global companies can succeed through strategic infrastructure investments, workforce partnerships, and a commitment to innovation. TSMC\u2019s continued confidence in our community affirms that vision.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
