Look at the numbers.

In a historic announcement, in May 2020, TSMC shared its plans to invest $12B in Phoenix, Arizona – building an advanced semiconductor manufacturing fabrication. 

In December 2022, the company announced its commitment to build a second fab in Phoenix, increasing its total investment to $40B. 

Then in April 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce and TSMC Arizona announced up to US$6.6 billion in direct funding under the CHIPS and Science Act, fulfilling a goal to bring the most advanced chip manufacturing in the world to the United States. 

TSMC also announced plans to build a third fab at TSMC Arizona. 

This third fab brings TSMC’s total U.S. investment to more than $65 billion, making this the largest foreign direct investment (FDI) in Arizona history, and the largest FDI in a greenfield project in U.S. history. 

Now with a third fab, TSMC Arizona will create approximately 6,000 jobs – and more than 20,000 accumulated unique construction jobs, as well as tens of thousands of indirect supplier jobs.

According to the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC), there are more than 140,000 jobs in occupations relevant to semiconductors in the metropolitan area and it is growing rapidly. An analysis by GPEC (April 2024) on the impact of TSMC Arizona notes that over a thirteen-year period, TSMC’s investment in Phoenix will:

  • Create more than 20,000 accumulated unique construction jobs and over 18,000 supplier and consumer indirect jobs.
  • Generate an estimated $1.2B in direct tax revenues plus $195.1M in indirect tax revenues — for a total of $1.4B in tax revenue to Arizona over a 13-year period.
  • Create $4.6B of personal income, plus an additional $4.8B in indirect personal income for a total of $9.3B.
  • Create $32.9B in economic output, with $17.2B in direct economic output, and $15.6B in indirect output.
