TAIPEI (TVBS News) — U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo announced on Tuesday (Feb. 27) that the U.S. government's goal is to produce 20% of the world's cutting-edge semiconductors by 2030.
Raimondo emphasized that advanced semiconductor companies, including Intel, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), and Samsung, are seeking more than US＄70 billion in subsidies under the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act.
She specifically mentioned TSMC, noting its pioneering work in Arizona and expressing gratitude for their contributions, assuring their success.
