Nvidia Blackwell Enters Volume Production with First US-Made Wafer from TSMC Arizona Facility
The inaugural US-manufactured Nvidia Blackwell wafer has been produced at TSMC’s Phoenix facility, marking a key milestone in domestic semiconductor output. Despite this achievement, analysts indicate the chips must still be sent to Taiwan for advanced packaging before completion.
US Semiconductor Milestone Achieved with Blackwell Wafer
The first Nvidia Blackwell wafer manufactured in the United States has been completed at TSMC‘s fabrication plant in Phoenix, Arizona, according to reports from the chipmaker. This production signals that the Blackwell series has entered volume manufacturing, a critical step in meeting global demand for advanced computing hardware.

Taiwan’s Silicon Valley Defies National Fertility Crisis Through Tech-Driven Prosperity
While Taiwan faces one of the world’s lowest fertility rates, the chip capital Hsinchu bucks the trend through tech sector prosperity. However, this baby boomlet remains confined to affluent families as rising costs price out ordinary residents, creating a demographic divide.
Tech Prosperity Fuels Demographic Exception
In a nation grappling with one of the world’s most severe fertility crises, Taiwan’s semiconductor hub Hsinchu stands as a notable exception, according to reports. While the country’s total fertility rate (TFR) remains critically low at 0.89 per woman in 2024, Hsinchu maintains a steady rate around 1.0, with the surrounding county reaching 1.02 in 2023. Analysts suggest this modest but meaningful difference reflects how Taiwan’s tech boom is reshaping demographic patterns in specific regions.
