TSMC Plans Advanced 4nm Chip Production at Arizona Plant on Apple Demand

   


TSMC previously said it would make 20,000 wafers per month at the Arizona facility but production may increase from those original plans.



Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company will offer advanced 4-nanometer chips when its new $12 billion (roughly Rs. 97,500 crore) plant in Arizona opens in 2024, spurred by US customers including Apple to do so, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday. The firm is expected to announce the new plan when US President Joe Biden and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo visit Phoenix for a ceremony next Tuesday, according to the report, citing people familiar with the matter.

TSMC previously said it would make 20,000 wafers per month at the Arizona facility but the production may increase from those original plans, the report said. Apple will use about a third of the output as production gets underway, it added.

The report said in addition to Apple, TSMC customers including AMD and Nvidia have also asked TSMC to make more sophisticated chips at the Arizona plant.

According to Bloomberg News on Thursday, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company will provide cutting-edge 4-nanometer chips when its planned $12 billion (approximately Rs. 97,500 crore) facility in Arizona opens in 2024 as a result of pressure from US clients like Apple. According to the story, which cited people familiar with the situation, the company is anticipated to unveil the new strategy when US President Joe Biden and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo visit Phoenix for a ceremony next Tuesday.


The report stated that although TSMC had previously stated that it will produce 20,000 wafers per month in the Arizona facility, the actual output may exceed those initial projections. As production begins, Apple will use around a third of the output, it was noted.


According to the article, in addition to Apple, TSMC clients AMD and Nvidia have also requested that TSMC produce more advanced chips at the Arizona factory.


Customers of TSMC have requested that the business launch its most recent technology simultaneously in Taiwan and the United States, the report said.



Apple, AMD, and Nvidia did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment, while TSMC declined to do so.


Morris Chang, the founder of TSMC, stated last week that the business was considering manufacturing sophisticated 3-nanometer chips in Arizona but noted that the plans had not yet been finalised.


The 3-nanometer plant would be situated at the same Arizona site as the 5-nanometer plant, according to Chang, who told reporters in Taipei. "TSMC is now working on a three-nanometer design, however it has not been completely finalised," said Chang, who has retired from TSMC but remains influential in the company and the broader chip industry.


The month prior, TSMC announced the greatest rise in two years, an 80% year-over-year increase in profit for the July through September 2022 period. But this year, TSMC also reduced capital spending by at least 10%. The most valuable listed business in Asia, TSMC, stated that while it was planning expenditures more cautiously for 2023, it still
