Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) 28nm foundry capacity has been short of demand. Volume production of the process kicked off in October 2011.

Indeed, the very first encounter with Apple disrupted TSMC's roadmap. TSMC planned to move from 28nm planar to 16nm FinFET, but Apple wanted a custom 20nm-class planar node instead.

Also, Global Foundries will be using a 22nm FD-SOI node, which should have superior characteristics to TSMC's 28nm planar processes. However, if the cost is not competitive, it will have little ...

TSMC's $165 billion U.S. investment gets speed boostThe Fab 21 site near Phoenix, Arizona, is listed as two separate facilities, and it will produce different TSMC silicon. The N3 plant is in the ...

TSMC is aggressively expanding its US presence with accelerated construction of its Arizona fabs, aiming to create a major semiconductor hub. The comp ...

Counterpoint Research added that TSMC's market share has gradually risen from 29.4% in early 2024 to over 35%, and that the integrated foundry market grew from 13% during the same period, but TSMC ...

The Japanese government has said it will give TSMC an additional 732 billion yen ($4.86 billion) in subsidies to help it build a second chip fabrication plant in the country.

During the gradual move from 28nm down to 3nm, Apple’s die size hasn’t grown much. Instead, Apple and TSMC are squeezing billions more transistors into the same general die size as they move ...

TSMC dropped the WaferTech name in 2023, rebranding the site as TSMC Washington. The Camas fab can manufacture chips with features between 0.35 microns to 0.16 microns, according to TSMC.

Taiwan's TSMC said on Tuesday that U.S. tariffs were having some impact on the company and had been discussed with Washington, but demand for artificial intelligence (AI) remains strong and ...
