Scope, evidence and limits
Description: A semiconductor foundry; parent of TSMC Arizona.
The records are grouped automatically. No human inspection of the selected claims, source paths or framing is recorded for this dossier. Each source passage shows how it was checked.
The dossier is computed from existing records. It is not a continuous history of the institution, and a missing record does not mean that an event or relationship did not happen. The chronology uses the dates of events and reports, not the date the public could first have known of them. Later sources can describe earlier events.

Chronology
Records about the institution itself and documented changes to its frameworks, by year. Expand a year to read the claims. People’s other institutional records and related documents have their own sections. Where a date gives only the year or month, the order within it is unknown.

Qualification and date notes
Rests on the White House’s account; TSMC’s own release could not be retrieved. Announced investment only: no construction, spending or production is shown, and the facilities are described differently by the speakers (TSMC’s own breakdown is not recorded here). The $165 billion total is the President’s figure. The plan is for TSMC’s Arizona chip manufacturing operation (TSMC Arizona); its stage is recorded as planned, the stage the dataset gives every announced spending plan.
Date of the announcement, as the source gives it.

Record about this institution · Stated in source · Supported
Stage: operational
Qualification and date notes
NVIDIA’s statement that production had started; it gives no volume, no yield and no statement by TSMC, and does not show that packaged chips were completed in the United States (the post names Amkor and SPIL for packaging and testing in Arizona as partners).
Dated by NVIDIA’s statement; the date production started is not given. Dated by the statement of the status, not by the event it reports.
