In a landmark development for U.S. semiconductor production, Nvidia and TSMC have manufactured the first Blackwell wafer entirely within the United States. This achievement, realized at TSMC’s Arizona facility, signals progress in reshoring critical technology manufacturing. Industry experts suggest it could reinforce America’s role in the global AI hardware sector.
Breakthrough in Domestic Semiconductor Production
In what sources describe as a historic step for U.S. technology manufacturing, Nvidia and TSMC have successfully produced the first wafer for the Blackwell AI chip on American soil. According to reports, the production took place at TSMC’s Arizona facility, with the official announcement made via a Nvidia press release. The achievement is seen as a response to growing onshoring pressures influenced by U.S. policy and tariff measures.
