The funding will support TSMC&#8217;s investment of more than $65 billion in three leading-edge fabs in Phoenix, Arizona to manufacture the world\u2019s most advanced semiconductors.<\/p>\n<p>Biden announced in March his administration will provide $8.5 billion funding for Intel through the CHIPS and Science Act for the American chipmaker to fund its facilities in the states of Ohio, Arizona, New Mexico and Oregon.<\/p>\n<p>The CHIPS and Science Act was signed into law by Biden in August 2022. It sets aside $52.7 billion to increase production of US-made semiconductors, address supply chain vulnerabilities by producing more goods in the US, and bolster domestic scientific research.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/tanzania\">Tanzania<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
