3nm will be imported into the United States? TSMC: No further news at this time

Zhang Zhongmou, the founder of TSMC, said that he would not rule out moving some advanced production capacity to the United States for production, and it is also possible to transfer 3nm to regions outside Taiwan, such as the United States. Zhang Zhongmou pointed out that there is a plan now, but it has not been fully finalized. It should be said that it is almost finalized, that is, in the same Arizona state, "3nm is phase 2 (the second phase), and 5nm is phase 1 (the first phase)."

In this regard, according to Taiwan media "Juheng.com", TSMC responded that there is no further news at present.

It is understood that TSMC's Arizona wafer plant will hold a "first machine transfer" ceremony in early December. TSMC said that it plans to invite guests including customers, suppliers, academics and government representatives to celebrate the first batch of machines in December. An important milestone for equipment to factory.

TSMC pointed out that with the arrival of machinery and equipment, it means that the factory building has been partially completed, and it will be ready to move into the first batch of cutting-edge equipment for semiconductor manufacturing; the 5-nanometer factory in Arizona started about 18 months ago. The progress is as expected, and mass production will start in 2024, with a monthly production capacity of 20,000 pieces.
