The new funding will support the construction of four additional advanced semiconductor manufacturing and packaging facilities in Arizona, expanding the project to a total of 12 plants.
The announcement was made by the White House and the Department of Commerce, highlighting the expansion as a key part of a broader U.S.-Taiwan trade and investment deal signed in January 2026. This move aims to bolster U.S. domestic manufacturing, strengthen technological leadership, and secure critical supply chains, with the investment expected to create thousands of high-tech and construction jobs.
