Foundry TSMC said today that the Kaohsiung plant has officially started construction after the entire land, will be in mass production in 2024 as planned.
TSMC president Wei Zhejia previously said at a legal conference, TSMC 7 nanometer process capacity utilization in the fourth quarter of the loose, resulting in the Kaohsiung 7 nanometer plant construction time temporarily delayed, but did not cancel or change the plan, while the 28 nanometer plant is still on schedule as expected.
According to the introduction, TSMC’s Kaohsiung plant is located in Nanzhi Industrial Park, the former site of CNPC Kaohsiung Refinery, and the Kaohsiung Municipal Government expects to combine with Qiaotou Science Park, Luke and Nanke to create a semiconductor industrial colony, which is expected to be in mass production in 2024.
TSMC’s cumulative revenue from January to October 2022 was approximately NT$1.85 trillion (approximately RMB 421.8 billion), an increase of 44.0% from the same period last year.
