▲ TSMC’s Wafer 18 factory in Tainan Science Park.
TSMC’s 3nm process will be mass-produced at 18 wafer sites located in Tainan Science Park. During the ceremony, Liu Deyin, president of TSMC, said that the current yield rate of TSMC’s 3nm process is already comparable to that of the 5 nm process. 5nm, the logic density of the 3nm process will increase by about 60% or power consumption will be reduced by 30-35% at the same speed, and it can support the innovative TSMC FINFLEX™ architecture.
TSMC also held a beam lifting ceremony for the 8th phase of the 18th plant. The 18th plant will be responsible for the 5nm and 3nm processes. Total investment in the 18th plant will exceed NT$1.86 billion, creating more than 23,500 construction jobs and more than 11,300 direct high-tech jobs.
Liu Deyin also expects that in the first year the 3nm process is launched, the revenue will exceed the contribution of the 5nm process in 2020 and create $1.5 trillion in value within five years. TSMC also expects the global research and development center will be In the second quarter of this year, the Hsinchu Science Park will be officially opened. The 2nm fab will be located in Hsinchu and Central Science Park, respectively. A total of six phases of the project are in the planning stage keep on.
In addition, regarding the environmental protection design of the factory area, the construction of the Nanke factory area adopts the indicators of Taiwan’s green building EEWH and the American green building LEED certification system, and imports water resources from “TSMC Nanke Industrial Recycled Water Plant”. The replacement rate of recycled water will gradually reach over 60%. In addition, over 20% of the energy used by the 18th plant is renewable energy and will achieve the sustainable goal of using 100% renewable energy and net zero emissions by 2050.
