TSMC’s Kaohsiung 2nm wafer fab will hold an expansion ceremony at the end of March and start accepting orders in April, according to The Central News Agency.
Why it matters: TSMC’s 2nm process (N2) is one of the most advanced semiconductor nodes globally.
Details: The 2nm process is TSMC’s first manufacturing process to use the Nanosheet structure, a type of GAA transistor architecture.
TSMC’s 2nm process has achieved a trial production yield of over 60% and is expected to enter mass production soon, Chinese media outlet Icsmart reported.
AMD, Intel, Broadcom, and AWS are also likely to consider TSMC’s 2nm manufacturing capacity, according to industry analysis.
