Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) plans to begin construction of four new plants later this year, with the aim to officially launch production of 2-nanometer semiconductor wafers by late 2028, Central Taiwan Science Park Bureau director-general Hsu Maw-shin (許茂新) said.
Hsu made the announcement at an event on Friday evening celebrating the Central Taiwan Science Park’s 22nd anniversary.
