With an investment of US$40 billion the Arizona fab is the biggest investment that TMSC has undertaken to date, and the highest investment ever made by a foreign company in the United States.
America is also trying to stop China getting advanced chips. It passed the CHIPS and Science Act in August 2022, offering $39bn in subsidies and a 25% tax credit to promote manufacturing at home, as well as $13bn of investment in chip research. In October 2022 it banned the export of advanced chips and chipmaking gear to China.
Usually, it takes around three years to build such a plant. The Kumamoto project was completed in just 20 months. Semiconductor industry analyst Kevin Xu explained this was done by working seven days a week and running 24-hour non-stop shifts. ... In Japan, rather than unions resisting experienced Taiwanese workers moving to the country, they made them feel as welcome as possible, according to Xu: he said supermarkets even started stocking Taiwanese food, while an international school started hiring more Taiwanese teachers.
EMP Shield will leverage state support to apply for CHIPS Act funding to see its plans to fruition. The project came together shortly after the CHIPS Act was signed into law last August. Additional stipulations include private-public partnerships as well as the involvement of higher education institutions.
But experts say that new plants are unlikely to be erected here. Manufacturing is stifled by several factors: high real-estate costs, unreliable water, expensive electric bills and stiff regulations. In general, manufacturing has plummeted in California. Since 1990, the state has lost a third of its factory jobs.
Biden said Micron, an American-based company, announced a 10-year, $40 billion investment on Tuesday for factories and building memory chips as a result of the law. He also touted a Monday announcement by American companies Qualcomm and GlobalFoundries to invest $4 billion to produce semiconductors in the United States.

New York is giving Micron $5.5 billion in tax credits over the life of the project if the company meets certain employment targets.

In addition, the company hopes to apply for and obtain federal funding from the CHIPS and Science Act to accelerate the construction and build-out of the facility.

Mr. Biden has been pushing to bring more high-tech manufacturing to the U.S. In August, he signed a law that includes $52 billion in direct aid for building semiconductor plants, which lawmakers viewed as key to ensuring American technology leadership and securing supply chains. ... Mr. Chang said the cost of making chips in Arizona may be at least 50% higher than in Taiwan.

More than 170 firms have applied but, to date, just two tiny grants have been made, to makers of less advanced chips. ... The most immediate threat to the timely construction is the National Environmental Policy Act, which requires large federally funded projects to pass environmental review before grants are released, regardless of whether they have already obtained state and local government permits. Full NEPA reviews took an average of 4.5 years between 2013 and 2018, according to a federal government report. Critics say each year of delay adds roughly 5% to the construction cost of a chip plant.
Industry executives and economists say a shortage of chip-industry workers in the U.S. is a big hurdle as the U.S. seeks to entice Asian chip makers that dominate global semiconductor supplies, and who enjoy deep pools of skilled workers and lower production costs at home.
