Huge Investment of 100 Billion Dollars from TSMC to the USA
TSMC announced a new $100 billion investment plan to expand its facilities in Arizona. Here are the 2nm production facilities and the company’s growth goals.
TSMC, the world’s largest chip manufacturer, announced that it will make a huge additional investment of $100 billion to expand its facilities in Arizona, USA. With this breakthrough, the company’s total investment plan in the USA reached 265 billion dollars.
The Taiwan-based technology giant aims to use this budget to establish at least four new production facilities and advanced packaging centers. The company management stated that these facilities will produce in 2nm and more advanced node technologies.
Huge Capacity Increase in Arizona
In his statement at the second quarter benefit conference, TSMC CEO CC Wei said that new investments could bring the Arizona campus to a total of 10 production facilities and two packaging centers. Stating that the construction schedule will be shaped according to market demand, the company emphasized that the cost of a facility with 2nm technology varies between 25 and 35 billion dollars.
Advanced packaging technologies are seen as a critical bottleneck, especially for the production of AI accelerators. New packaging operations to be established in Arizona will make it easier for US customers to access advanced chips locally.
Record Growth and Future Expectations
TSMC increased its net profit by 77 percent on an annual basis in the second quarter to 22 billion dollars, surpassing expectations. The company, which has recorded double-digit growth for nine consecutive quarters, increased its capital expenditure claim for 2026 to $64 billion.
The company revised its revenue growth expectation for the whole year to over 40 percent from its previous forecast of over 30 percent. TSMC, which experienced a 68 percent increase in June sales, believes that demand for artificial intelligence chips will remain strong.
CEO CC Wei stated that he maintains his belief that the artificial intelligence trend will last for many years. The company continues its growth strategy with determination despite possible overcapacity concerns in the market.
