Scope, evidence and limits
Description: TSMC subsidiary named as the CHIPS award recipient; distinct from its parent and from its fab sites, which are not recorded as entities here.
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.

- President Biden’s statement of 8 April 2024 said the Department of Commerce was announcing a preliminary agreement with TSMC to support the construction of leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing facilities in the United States, and that TSMC would also build a third chip factory in Phoenix, increasing its total investment in Arizona to $65 billion.United States Department of Commerce → made a government award to → TSMC Arizona CorporationInspect claim & evidence ↗

Qualification and date notes
A preliminary agreement; the total award amount is not stated in this statement (it mentions $50 million of CHIPS funding for workforce training). The $65 billion is TSMC’s stated total Arizona investment, not the award. The statement names Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company; TSMC Arizona is named as awardee in the final award release. The statement does not mention AI; the AI reference appears in the final award release (recorded separately).
Date of the presidential statement; NIST later dates the preliminary memorandum of terms to an announcement of 8 April 2024.
- NIST announced on 15 November 2024 that the Department of Commerce had awarded TSMC Arizona up to $6.6 billion in direct CHIPS Incentives funding, to be disbursed on completion of project milestones, plus up to $5 billion of proposed loans, supporting a planned investment of more than $65 billion in three Phoenix fabs; the release says the chips will power artificial intelligence among other industries.United States Department of Commerce → made a government award to → TSMC Arizona CorporationInspect claim & evidence ↗

Qualification and date notes
An award, not a disbursement: funds are paid against milestones, and the loans are "proposed". The AI reference describes the expected uses of chips, not a condition of the award. The served page states it was updated on 6 October 2025.
Date of the NIST release announcing the final award; the award agreement itself was not retrieved (integrator’s correction before the audit: basis was "approval").
