(Central News Agency reporter Zhang Jianzhong, Hsinchu, 17th) US President Trump specifically pointed out that Taiwan has taken away the US chip business, and how TSMC responds has attracted much attention. There are rumors in the market that TSMC may accelerate the construction plan of its third factory in Arizona, and the groundbreaking ceremony will be held in June. TSMC said today that progress is going well as planned.

Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on Taiwanese chips has attracted widespread attention. Many rumors have been circulating in the market, including that TSMC will accelerate mass production of advanced processes in the United States, expand investment in the United States, and invest in or take over Intel's wafer fab.

Market sources say that TSMC's third Arizona plant may break ground in June ahead of schedule, and hold a groundbreaking ceremony, inviting U.S. officials to attend, demonstrating its determination to expand investment in the United States.

TSMC said today that it would not comment on market rumors and would formally notify if there were any public events. The Arizona plant in the United States is progressing well according to plan.

TSMC's first Arizona plant will start mass production of 4nm process in the fourth quarter of 2024, and the second plant is expected to start mass production in 2028. Based on customer demand, it will adopt more advanced process technologies such as 3nm, 2nm and A16 process technologies.

 
The first TSMC AZ fab is in production at 4nm. From what I hear the second fab will be 3nm and the third fab will be 2nm. We will get a formal update in April. I would expect the dates on the 2nd and third AZ fabs to be pushed up with the threats of Tariffs etc...

TSMC is delivering on Advanced Fabs in the US. This is "Yuge" and hopefully the government will support more Fabs. Intel, Samsung, Global, TSMC.... Fabs in the US will provide tremendous economic growth.
