TAIPEI -- One of the world's biggest producers of chemicals for semiconductors plans to build a new plant in the U.S. in a move designed to meet Washington's goal of bringing critical parts of the chip supply chain onto its own soil.

LCY Chemical's planned chemical-purifying factory in Arizona will be its largest ever overseas investment, the company's CEO Vincent Liu told Nikkei Asia.
