TAIPEI — Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) said that it plans two sales of bonds that would raise about $9 billion to expand production, possibly helping to ease a critical shortage of silicon.

In a Feb. 9 board meeting, the world’s largest chip foundry approved the issuance of corporate bonds in Taiwan for as much as NT$120 billion (approximately $4.4 billion) and provided a guarantee to subsidiary TSMC Global to issue US dollar-denominated corporate bonds for up to $4.5 billion that would fund capacity expansion as well as pollution-prevention measures.
