The Taiwanese multinational semiconductor contract design and manufacturing company, being one of the largest companies in Taiwan and one of the most valuable in the world, will build new factories in Arizona. TSCM already announced last year that it wanted to establish itself in the Grand Canyon State. But new reports indicate that it will not only be a subsidiary that will be created but that there is even talk of up to six.
According to reports, el Apple's M and A series TSMC chip maker plans to build more than just the only announced chip factory in the United States. Specifically in the city of the Colorado Canyon, Arizona. In May 2020 it was stated that the company would build a $ 12.000 billion factory in the state. The facility is expected to begin volume production in 2024.
Three sources familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak to the media, they told Reuters that up to five more factories are being planned. It is not clear what the additional production and investment capacity would be they could represent these additional factories and what chip-making technology they would use. TSMC said last month that it planned to invest $ 100.000 billion over the next three years to increase production capacity, although it did not provide details.
Considering the chip shortage that technology companies have right now, this news comes in handy. Logically not for this specific moment, but for future similar events to what is happening right now. Apple will benefit the most from having chip production factories so close and will be able to lower many costs.
Also keep in mind that the Biden government is preparing to spend tens of billions of dollars to support the manufacture of domestic chips.
