TSMC's board has approved a $20 billion capital injection for Arizona's Fab 21, part of a larger $165 billion U.S. expansion plan. This investment is included in a $31.28 billion global budget aimed at enhancing advanced chip production for AI, 5G, and high-performance computing. However, TSMC is facing challenges such as water shortages, labor constraints, and power supply issues despite the profitability of its first Arizona fab.
