TSMC Rejects Reports it had Halted Plans to Build Fab in Chiayi
Posted on 2025-09-18 15:37:13
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company is pushing back against rumours it has halted plans for a second advanced packaging plant in Chiayi.
Local media had suggested equipment originally meant for the Chiayi facility would be diverted to the company's massive Arizona expansion in the United States.
However, T-S-M-C stressed today that its investment plans in Taiwan remain unchanged.
Earlier this year, the chipmaker announced it would invest an additional 100 billion U-S dollars in Arizona, bringing its total U-S investment to 165 billion dollars...
That raised concerns in Taiwan about whether U-S projects might come at the expense of domestic investment.
Chiayi officials had said the first local packaging plant would begin installing equipment this quarter, with a second plant targeted for completion in 2026 and mass production in 2028.
