TSMC is reportedly considering a second U.S. hub in the Dallas, Tex. area.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the Taiwanese contract chipmaker that makes semiconductors for Nvidia among others, is reportedly eyeing a second site in the U.S.

The Taiwanese daily UDN on Tuesday reported that TSMC (TSM) (TW:2330) is considering Dallas, Tex, for a second chipmaking hub, alongside the current one in Phoenix, Ariz.. The news outlet cited unnamed "sources in the semiconductor equipment" industry.

TSMC shares drifted 0.4% lower in premarket trade.

The so-called Silicon Prairie is hope to several semiconductor companies, not just the aptly named Texas Instruments but also Coherent, Samsung and Tesla.

TSMC this summer said it will spend $265 billion in the U.S.

U.S. operations are critical not just to avoid Trump administration tariffs but also to get closer to its U.S. clients, who account for three-quarters of its revenue.

TSMC did not respond to a request for comment.
