TSMC: Decided to increase production of in-vehicle semiconductors: Nanjing Factory, China (Fab16)
-Board of Directors Meeting held on April 22-
TSMC:
The company announced that it has approved “to invest $ 2,887 million in capital investment in the maturation process” to increase production of in-vehicle semiconductors.
Taiwan Media:
TSMC explained that it is investing in expanding the production capacity of 28nm process products for automobiles at its Nanjing plant (Fab16) in Nanjing, China.
Nanjing Factory, China (Fab16):
Production capacity will be expanded in the second half of 2022.
By the middle of 2023, the monthly production will be 40,000.
Taiwan’s serious water shortage:
Taiwan is suffering from a serious water shortage.
Rumors were widespread within the industry that TSMC would move part of its production to the Nanjing plant.
TSMC denied this investment.
This case is not a new fab, but an effective use of existing fabs.
Nanjing factory clean room:
Among the existing factories, “only the Nanjing factory has empty space in the clean room.”
Here, we decided that it would be the fastest to build a system to increase production of in-vehicle semiconductors.
New fab in Nanjing:
Eventually, “if demand increases further, there is a possibility of establishing a new fab in Nanjing.”
