TSMC plans to add at least 6,000 jobs through its Arizona location. The company started building chip plants there in April 2021 after announcing their plans in 2020. TSMC Arizona president Rose Castanares told Axios the first plant already employs 3,000 workers. The firm expects to need 3,000 more staff once the third plant starts running later this decade. Their recent March plans might bring a similar number of workers to the area.
Their first $65 billion investment aims to make advanced 2-nanometer chips at the site. Earlier this year, TSMC CEO Dr. C.C. Wei promised an extra $100 billion for more US facilities. This money will build three more chip plants, two packaging centers, and a research lab. The company said these projects would create 40,000 construction jobs over four years. When finished, all sites might employ 12,000 people.
Major tech companies like Apple and NVIDIA already want to buy chips from the Arizona plant. The first factory should start making chips during the first half of this year. This project helps US efforts to bring chip-making back home since all TSMC advanced factories currently sit in Taiwan.
