TSMC sprint advanced process, bamboo Taiwan Authority has proposed the land demand for permission to start a new bamboo research and development center construction, the fastest start of the second half of next year. In line with the future production of new fabs below 5nm enabled, TSMC will remain the world's leading foundry, continued to be Apple, Qualcomm, NVIDIA and other manufacturers release orders preferred.
Industry estimates, TSMC new bamboo research and development center with a total investment of up to hundreds of billions of NT dollars, coupled with the late January of the new section of the South Division 18 wafer plant will invest NT $ 500 billion, 5 branch of bamboo headquarters and bamboo plant New R & D center investment, as well as follow-up of 3 nanometer investment funds, TSMC will invest more than NT $ 1 trillion in the high-end process in the future.
TSMC said that although the future advanced process more difficult, TSMC will continue to expand research and development in the advanced process energy, maintaining the leading foundry in the lead.
TSMC applied for the new R & D center land, close to the bamboo headquarters, will be the advanced process of serial production and R & D an important center. TSMC chairman Zhang Zhongmou previously notice, four years after the promotion of 3-nanometer process mass production.
It is understood that the current bamboo substrate TSMC R & D and production base - 12 wafer plant is built in succession in 2002, has so far entered 15 years, is now facing production capacity and inadequate use of space conditions.
In order to develop a more advanced manufacturing process, TSMC considers that it is necessary to relocate hundreds of machines and equipment and increase the cost of huge moving machines and loss of production capacity and performance every year. Therefore, it proposed to the Administration that a new R & To save the construction of the comprehensive effect of time and cost.
After TSMC has submitted its application, the Executive Yuan has approved that the Bamboo Branch Council launch the "Hsinchu Science Park (Baoshan Site) Expansion Plan", which will be expanded to cover nearly 30 hectares of land in Phase III of Bamboo Branch, mainly for use by TSMC.
Bamboo Branch Authority said that the expansion of the base area is close to the south bamboo, an area of ??about 29.86 hectares, has launched urban planning and environmental impact assessment commissioned by homework.
