Yes.
Over the past several years, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, or TSMC, has announced plans for about $165 billion in Arizona developments largely focused on chip manufacturing.
The company began its expansion into Arizona in 2020 and, during the Biden administration, committed a total of $65 billion to building out operations in the state. As part of the administration’s efforts to boost domestic semiconductor production, TSMC was awarded up to $6.6 billion in federal subsidies through the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, which supports U.S.-based manufacturing, research and development programs.
So far, the company has broken ground on three Arizona facilities, which will produce chips used in smartphones, electric vehicles and other technology. In April 2025, TSMC pledged an additional $100 billion to build five more facilities dedicated to chip manufacturing, packaging and research.
