TSMC said that this new facility will produce 20,000 semiconductor wafers per month, directly creating more than 1,600 high-tech professional jobs, and creating thousands of indirect jobs in the semiconductor ecosystem. From 2021 to 2029, TSMC's total expenditures (including capital expenditures) on this project will be approximately $12 billion.
The Taiwan-based semiconductor foundry emphasizes that this project is of critical, strategic significance to a vibrant and competitive U.S. semiconductor ecosystem that enables leading U.S. companies to manufacture their state-of-the-art semiconductor products in the United States and to benefit from the proximity of a world-class semiconductor foundry and ecosystem.
TSMC is the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, Apple is one of TSMC 's leading customers, and the company's custom-designed A-series chips have been manufactured by TSMC for years.
TSMC currently operates a plant in Camas, Washington, USA, and has design centers in Austin, Texas, and San Jose, California. The Arizona plant will be TSMC's second manufacturing site in the US.
