Investing.com -- Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) are set to unveil their first U.S.-produced semiconductor wafer for Blackwell AI chips on Friday, Axios reports, signaling a key step in reshoring advanced chip production.

The milestone was disclosed to Axios by Nvidia, whose CEO, Jensen Huang, visited TSMC’s Phoenix facility to mark the announcement.

"Nvidia and TSMC are working together to build the infrastructure that powers the world’s AI factories, right here in America," Nvidia stated in a blog post.

In a joint statement made to Axios, the companies highlighted that "TSMC Arizona is expected to create thousands of high-tech jobs and attract a broad ecosystem of suppliers."

The milestone reflects progress in the Trump administration’s push to advance domestic AI technology production and maintain leadership in artificial intelligence development.

While this wafer production marks a crucial first step in re-establishing critical chip production in the U.S., the country still faces a long path before its chip demand could become independent from overseas factories and companies.
