Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., The world manufacturer in the world, intends to spend $ 100 billion in united statistics in the coming years to expand its production capacity and plant its most advanced semiconductor processes to its Arizona operations.
It is expected that the CEO of TSMC, CC Wei, will reveal investment and production plans on Monday during the performance with President Trump at the White House, two families said with a plan that asked for anonymity because it was immersed.
The investment comes after years of working to change domestic semiconductor production. The effort to rebuild this industry began during the previous Trump Administration and continued to pass through the Bippartisan Chips Act, focusing on the United States society in Asia for small electronics that was driven from cars to iPads.
The investment previously announced the Wall Street Journal.
Over the last decade, the TSMC has rooted the chips market. It focused its production on Tai -Wan, and in Washington it was concerned that the United States could lose access to the advanced Becous Beijing chips, which wants to get the island back within China.
Under the Chips Act, TSMC has committed to investing $ 65 billion in the construction of three factories in Arizona. The production process, which has undertaken to bring to the United States, is an older technology that produces less sophisticated chips than those produced on Tai -Wan. To support the project, it received federal financing $ 6.6 billion.
Mr. Trump, who took office in January, pushed TSMC to bring his more advanced production processes to the United States. He threatened 100 percent on Taiwanese chips and criticized chips and the law that he could not get companies like TSMC to produce more tokens on the domestic market.
TSMC and Taiwanese officials tried to respond to Mr. Trump’s threat. In January, Mr. Wei will stand with Howard Larck, Minister of Trade, investment that TSMC could do. They examined the possibility of investing TSMC in an American chip chip chip, Intel, an agreement that would see that the Silicon Valley icon would take over production operations. Taiwanese officials also traveled to Washington and floated shops to invest in the United States.
But Mr. Trump Keppt his pressure on society and the Taiwanese government. During the February White House conference, Mr. Trump said: “Tai -wan took our active business. We had Intel. We had these great companies that did so well. It was taken from us and we want this business back. We want it back in the United States and if they bring it back, we will not be very happy.
Thanks to its appearance on Monday, TSMC becomes the latest in the stream of companies visiting the White House and accepting investment obligations. In January, Openi, Oracle and SoftBank promised to spend $ 500 billion on data centers in the next four years. Last month, Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, Mets with Mr. Trump, committed to spending $ 500 billion in four years, and some of which went to the new Houston factory to create artificial news servers.
“In 2020, thanks to the vision and support of President Trump, we will set out on our trip to establish advanced chips in the United States,” TSMC spokesman said on Monday on Monday. “You should have appropriate to meet the President and look forward to discussing our common vision for innovation and growth in semiconductor industry.”
