TSMC will build third Arizona fab after winning $6.6B in CHIPS funding


Funding comes after significant delays at Arizona's other fabs.

"At full capacity, TSMC Arizona’s three fabs would manufacture tens of millions of leading-edge chips that will power products like 5G/6G smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and AI datacenter servers," the Commerce Department said. TSMC's third fab is also planned to "produce 2nm or more advanced process technologies," the Commerce Department said, "depending on customer demand" of key TSMC-dependent companies like AMD, Apple, Nvidia, and Qualcomm. Anyone joining TSMC's fabs, the Commerce Department said, will "have access to discounts, reimbursements, and priority enrollment through partnerships for local area early education and childcare centers."
