NVIDIA and TSMC have joined forces to build the infrastructure that powers global AI factories in the United States.
During a visit to TSMC’s semiconductor manufacturing facility in Phoenix, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang marked the production of the first NVIDIA Blackwell wafer on U.S. soil, indicating that Blackwell has reached volume production.
At the event, Huang and Y.L. Wang, vice president of operations at TSMC, signed the Blackwell wafer to commemorate the milestone, highlighting the domestic construction of key components of the world’s AI infrastructure. This development is expected to strengthen the U.S. supply chain and localize the AI technology stack, supporting America’s leadership in the AI era.
“This is a historic moment for several reasons. It’s the very first time in recent American history that the single most important chip is being manufactured here in the United States by the most advanced fab, by TSMC, here in the United States,” Huang said at the event. “This is the vision of President Trump of reindustrialization — to bring back manufacturing to America, to create jobs, of course, but also, this is the single most vital manufacturing industry and the most important technology industry in the world.”
“To go from arriving in Arizona to delivering the first U.S.-made NVIDIA Blackwell chip in just a few short years represents the very best of TSMC,” said Ray Chuang, CEO of TSMC Arizona. “This milestone is built on three decades of partnership with NVIDIA — pushing the boundaries of technology together — and on the unwavering dedication of our employees and the local partners who helped to make TSMC Arizona possible.”
