So we do see, we continue to see customers' strong demand, multi-year structured demand."</p><p>:: TSMC</p><p>"We also are very grateful for the support from the U.S. government: the federal, the state, and the city level. And therefore, we decided that -- and we're doing very well. We're very happy with our current status in Arizona -- so we decided to increase the investment in Arizona."</p><p>"There are physical constraints, the number of construction workers available, the infrastructures available. Those parts will -- some of that depends on -- we'll work closely with the government to solve these issues."</p><p>Chief Financial Officer Wendell Huang said on Friday (July 17) the company is "very happy" with progress in Arizona, which is why it decided to ramp up investment to $265 billion, during an interview. He added that the company was very grateful for U.S. government support.</p><p>The pledge to expand in Arizona is a win for U.S. President Donald Trump, who has pushed for more chip-making at home. Trump has repeatedly accused Taiwan of stealing American semiconductor business. He has said that by the time he leaves office, the U.S. will have 50% of the world's semiconductor manufacturing capacity. </p><p>In total, current and planned projects will bring TSMC's Arizona footprint to 12 fabrication and advanced packaging facilities plus an R&D center. He did not provide a timeline for the latest investment. </p><p>At the same time, TSMC continues to invest at home, where it is building 13 leading-edge and advanced packaging fabs over the next several years. </p><p>Huang added that “the most leading-edge technology will stay in Taiwan" because of the need for close coordination between research and manufacturing teams when ramping up the company’s most advanced technologies. And overseas expansion would be considered once production had stabilized.</p><p>Asked if the company would consider raising money by selling new shares in the U.S., Huang said it would "not rule out issuing new bonds" if market conditions are favorable.</p></body>

A new working paper examining thousands of recent Y Combinator and other U.S. venture-backed startups indicates as much.
