TSMC capital investment this year will be 15-16 billion dollars
The largest contract manufacturer of semiconductor products, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), said that in the first half of next year it will begin trial production of products at 3 nm standards, and in the second half of 2022, this manufacturing process will be used in serial production. In addition, the company accelerated research and development related to the adoption of 2 nm standards. In particular, two installations necessary for this for EUV lithography were purchased.

The basis for the 3-nanometer process technology is the well-known fin-type field effect transistor architecture (FinFET). According to TSMC, it will also allow us to master the norms of 2 nm. It is expected that production at 2 nm standards at facilities located in the South Science and Technology Park in Hsinchu (Taiwan) will begin in 2024.
TSMC’s investment this year will be $ 15-16 billion, as planned.
