In today’s fast-changing tech landscape, advanced semiconductors drive innovation across industries, powering devices from smartphones to healthcare equipment.
In this graphic, we visualize advanced foundry capacity by country, for 2023 and forecasts for 2027. This data comes from TrendForce, and was published in December 2023.
Advanced vs. Mature Processes
Advanced manufacturing processes refer to ≤16/14 nanometer (nm) nodes. Smaller transistors allow manufacturers to pack more of them onto a single chip, increasing processing power and efficiency.
For example, the iPhone 15 Pro uses Apple’s first chip manufactured with a 3 nm process, while the Playstation 5 uses a 6 nm chip.
Mature processes (28 nm or larger) are cheaper to produce and are used in products that don’t require significant computing power. This includes home appliances and fitness trackers.
Taiwan Still #1 for Foreseeable Future
Taiwan holds 68% of advanced foundry capacity, though this is expected to fall to 60% by 2027 as the U.S. expands its domestic capacity. Taiwanese TSMC tops the list of the largest producer of advanced semiconductors. The company earned 60% (or nearly $17 billion) of semiconductor foundry revenue in Q1 2023.
Japan is also getting into the mix, with Rapidus Corp. aiming to produce 2 nm chips by 2027.
| Country | 2023 Market Share (%) | 2027F Market Share (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 🇹🇼 Taiwan | 68 | 60 |
| 🇰🇷 Korea | 12 | 13 |
| 🇺🇸 U.S. | 12 | 17 |
| 🇯🇵 Japan | 0 | 4 |
| 🇨🇳 China | 8 | 6 |
U.S. share of advanced process capacity is expected to increase from 12% to 17% by 2027, although over half of this capacity will come from foreign companies operating in the U.S., such as Samsung or TSMC.
Meanwhile, in response to export controls on advanced chip making equipment by the U.S., China is focusing on mature processes. China’s mature process capacity is set to grow from 31% to 39% by 2027.

All of the Grants Given by the U.S. CHIPS Act
Intel, TSMC, and more have received billions in subsidies from the U.S. CHIPS Act in 2024.

This visualization shows which companies are receiving grants from the U.S. CHIPS Act, as of April 25, 2024. The CHIPS Act is a federal statute signed into law by President Joe Biden that authorizes $280 billion in new funding to boost domestic research and manufacturing of semiconductors.
The grant amounts visualized in this graphic are intended to accelerate the production of semiconductor fabrication plants (fabs) across the United States.
Data and Company Highlights
The figures we used to create this graphic were collected from a variety of public news sources. The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) also maintains a tracker for CHIPS Act recipients, though at the time of writing it does not have the latest details for Micron.
| Company | Federal Grant Amount | Anticipated Investment From Company |
|---|---|---|
| 🇺🇸 Intel | $8,500,000,000 | $100,000,000,000 |
| 🇹🇼 TSMC | $6,600,000,000 | $65,000,000,000 |
| 🇰🇷 Samsung | $6,400,000,000 | $45,000,000,000 |
| 🇺🇸 Micron | $6,100,000,000 | $50,000,000,000 |
| 🇺🇸 GlobalFoundries | $1,500,000,000 | $12,000,000,000 |
| 🇺🇸 Microchip | $162,000,000 | N/A |
| 🇬🇧 BAE Systems | $35,000,000 | N/A |
BAE Systems was not included in the graphic due to size limitations
Intel’s Massive Plans
Intel is receiving the largest share of the pie, with $8.5 billion in grants (plus an additional $11 billion in government loans). This grant accounts for 22% of the CHIPS Act’s total subsidies for chip production.
From Intel’s side, the company is expected to invest $100 billion to construct new fabs in Arizona and Ohio, while modernizing and/or expanding existing fabs in Oregon and New Mexico. Intel could also claim another $25 billion in credits through the U.S. Treasury Department’s Investment Tax Credit.
TSMC Expands its U.S. Presence
TSMC, the world’s largest semiconductor foundry company, is receiving a hefty $6.6 billion to construct a new chip plant with three fabs in Arizona. The Taiwanese chipmaker is expected to invest $65 billion into the project.
The plant’s first fab will be up and running in the first half of 2025, leveraging 4 nm (nanometer) technology. According to TrendForce, the other fabs will produce chips on more advanced 3 nm and 2 nm processes.
The Latest Grant Goes to Micron
Micron, the only U.S.-based manufacturer of memory chips, is set to receive $6.1 billion in grants to support its plans of investing $50 billion through 2030. This investment will be used to construct new fabs in Idaho and New York.
