TSMC will hold a 3nm mass production ceremony

TSMC originally planned to increase production capacity in the second half of the third quarter of this year after completing the technology development and initial trial production of the 3nm process node, and officially bringing the N3 process into the mass production stage. But in the end, due to various reasons, it has been postponed.

According to UDN reports, TSMC will hold a mass production ceremony for the 3nm process node at Fab18 in Tainan Science Park, Taiwan on December 29. There will also be a ceremony for the expansion of the new factory during the period to dispel doubts that its 3nm process is behind schedule. This year TSMC’s 3nm process node has been at the center of rumors. On the one hand, some people criticize TSMC for covering up R&D problems on the grounds of new technologies, while others believe that there are not enough orders to support this expensive semiconductor process at this stage.
