TSMC plans to invest US$45 billion to build two fabs in Sherman, Texas, media report, adding TSMC declined to comment on the report, which was first published by the Dallas Business Journal. A confidential filing was submitted to the state government for such an investment by an unnamed entity on Nov. 2. Many believe the filing is related to TSMC.
Sherman is a popular destination for chip fabs. Texas Instruments announced a $60 billion US investment last year, with around $40 billion of that headed to the town. TI’s first Sherman fab is already up and running, and the fab shell of a 2nd is complete. Space has been set aside for 2 more 12-inch fabs at the campus. $Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US) #Texas #semiconductorsSource: Dan Nystedt
