Sadly, I think the politics are pointing towards a "when" not an "if" in your statement there. I hope AMD takes some of the $52 billion of dollars now available from the federal government and opens up a fab in the US. I doubt it would happen though as that would require a reversal of their fabless plans.Well, I think Intel alone have about enough just in the US. Of course that would make them a real monopoly if Taiwan was melted to the ground.
Right, let's get this started properly.I expected this thread to be about TSMC's plans outside of Taiwan, not some display of denial of all fabs' and companies' existence aside Taiwan's/TSMC's.
TSMC has announced that it has completed the construction of Fab 21. You might wonder what the connection is between a Taiwan-based foundry finishing off a new $12 billion fab and the U.S. The answer is that TSMC's Fab 21 is located in Phoenix, Arizona.
AMD won’t get any. These subsidies are targeting semiconductor fabs and infrastructure only (well, and research $$). The infrastructure (semiconductor material suppliers, etc.) part could help foreign fabs. We are really a wait and see stage. I would imagine Intels’s Ohio fab is a lock now.Sadly, I think the politics are pointing towards a "when" not an "if" in your statement there.

Not creating the sexy high-end CPUs and GPUs we like to talk about, but will hopefully help alleviate general supply chain concerns.
Fab8 Current Expansion is for 45nm to cover the selling of Fab10. Fab10's capacity of 45nm is being added to Fab8's capacity, plus other agreements included. SOITEC Singapore is getting replaced by GlobalWafers MEMC SOI for 90nm(SkyWater&GF MOU), 65nm(Skywater&GF MOU), 45nm(Internal GF node). As SOITEC Singapore for Malta is switching to handle 22FDX/12FDX/+ nodes only.Based on the article, it looks like they won't be expanding capacity for 12nm+.
Can Texas connect "our" power grid to the rest of the US power grid please? It will make Samsung happy. It annoys me that I am 50 miles away in two directions, East and North West to a functional power grid.Samsung's case in Texas also showcases some of the insanity behind the subsidies.
>>Samsung has asked for planning permission for 11 fabs in Texas – two in Austin and nine in Taylor – which would involve a total outlay of about $200 billion.
“We currently do not have specific plans to build at this time,” says Samsung, “ however, the Chapter 313 applications to the State of Texas are part of a long-term planning process of Samsung to evaluate the viability of potentially building additional fabrication plants in the United States.”<<

"Texas' incentive program is set to expire at the end of this year, and this led to a rush of companies applying in recent months - Samsung is just the latest to do so."
Samsung wants to build 11 chip fabs in Texas
The company has filed 11 applications seeking tax breaks for building the facilities. Samsung is building a chip fab in the Austin, Texas area in the US,...www.gsmarena.com
During its Q1 2021 earnings call, the company revealed that it faced damages to the tune of KRW 300 billion (around $270 million) to KRW 400 billion (around $360 million).
