No other chip production in the state?

Intel has several fabs in Chandler, AZ. They have down to 10 nm there, with 5nm being their best. So there definitely is a chunk of knowledge in the state.

This article states several others: https://www.chipsetc.com/semiconductor-companies-in-arizona.html

Seems like semiconductors are kind of a big deal in and around Chandler which is presumably why TSMC chose there.
