TSMC to Stash 30% of High-End Chip Production in US
MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, JUL 16 – TSMC's 2nm chip yield reaches 65%, surpassing competitors, while its accelerated Arizona fabs investment aims to supply major tech firms and create 6,000 local jobs by full operation.
- In mid-2025, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company achieved roughly 65% yield with the N2 process.
- Earlier this year, process engineers began addressing multi-pattern EUV stitching and overlay control, using advanced pellicle deployment to boost yields toward 75% by 2026.
- Competitor benchmarks reveal Samsung’s SF2 process remains at around 40%, indicating defect-density challenges, while Intel’s 18A node yields 55%.
- C.C. Wei said in a conference on Thursday that TSMC's $165 billion investment in Arizona becomes the largest FDI in U.S. history.
- Next year, TSMC will nearly double 2nm capacity, serving Qualcomm, NVIDIA, and AMD.
