TSMC Starts Mass Production of 3nm Semiconductors in Taiwan

[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] TSMC, the world's largest semiconductor foundry, has started mass production of 3-nanometer (nm; 1 nm is one billionth of a meter) products using 3D FinFET technology at its factory in Taiwan.

According to overseas media on the 29th, TSMC held a commemorative event at Fab 18, a semiconductor manufacturing plant located in the Southern Taiwan Science Park in Tainan.

At the event, TSMC Chairman Liu Deyin stated, "TSMC is making significant investments in Taiwan to maintain technological leadership, and continues investment and prosperity alongside environmental considerations," adding, "Due to the impact of new technologies such as 5G and high-performance computing, demand for 3-nanometer chips is very high."

Regarding TSMC's successive foreign investments, Chairman Liu added, "This production demonstrates that TSMC is taking concrete actions to develop advanced technology and expand production capacity in Taiwan."

TSMC is currently constructing semiconductor factories in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, and Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. It is also reported to be in negotiations to build a factory in Dresden, Germany.
