TSMC is reportedly planning to increase its number of 2-nanometre advanced process wafer fabs in Taiwan from seven to ten. The three new fabs are expected to be located in Tainan, complementing the existing 2nm production in Hsinchu (two fabs) and Kaohsiung (five fabs). Each new fab is estimated to cost about NT$300 billion ($9.3 billion), bringing the total investment for the three sites to NT$900 billion ($28 billion). The expansion aims to meet surging demand for AI chips and high-performance computing. TSMC expects the new fabs to begin mass production by 2026, with a combined monthly output exceeding 100,000 wafers. [IThome, in Chinese]
