TSMC may build advanced fabs in Texas, sources say
TSMC is reportedly considering building a new semiconductor manufacturing campus in Texas, separate from its $265 billion Arizona project. According to industry sources, the Texas facility could include six advanced chip factories—potentially costing even more than its Arizona investment—but plans aren't final. TSMC hasn't commented, and its board hasn't approved the project yet. No near-term chips: building a site like this would take years if it moves ahead.
