TSMC announced plans to invest an additional $100 billion to expand its chip manufacturing efforts in Arizona.
Speaking after the chipmaker posted its Q2 2026 results, CEO C.C. Wei told analysts the investment would support the construction of additional chip fabs for the production of 2nm and below process nodes and advanced packaging.

When questioned further about the investment on the company's earnings call, Wei said that “probably four more fabs will be built,” combining both front and back-end technologies. The CEO would not comment on a projected timeline for the buildout but said the company “does have a plan.”
He added: “Most of the time, it depends on the market situation and our customers' demand. If you ask me to give you a firm schedule, no, we don't have it today, but we do have a plan. We speed it up. We try to speed it up as fast as possible.
