Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is accelerating its 3nm production timeline at its Arizona facility, with plans to start production by 2027. The move comes as the company seeks to expand its US operations, driven by growing demand for semiconductors from tech giants.
TSMC’s massive $165 billion investment in America has enabled the company to bring several new facilities and R&D centers online. According to a report, the company will begin introducing 3nm production equipment in Arizona as early as September, marking a significant advancement in its US operations.
The move puts the US two years behind Taiwan, but is still seen as a major achievement given the complexity of the technology. TSMC’s expansion plans include introducing nodes up to A16 (1.6nm), advanced chip fabs, and packaging facilities – key areas that address the growing demand for AI-enabled chips.
TSMC’s recent moves demonstrate its commitment to maintaining dominance in the chip market, despite originating from Taiwan. The company’s efforts to satisfy customer demands have been notable, positioning it as a leader in the industry.
