htmlOn June 18, TSMC held a 2019 technical seminar in Shanghai. Wei Zhejia, president of , TSMC , said at the meeting: "The world's 7-nanometer products are cooperated with , TSMC , and we have also evolved N7+. Now the 5-nanometer ecosystem has been completed, and products can be designed based on 5-nanometers. Some customers have designed them and will start mass production in the first and second quarters next year." After
developed 7-nanometer and 5-nanometers, TSMC also announced a 6-nanometer process this year. In this regard, Wei Zhejia explained that TSMC has better mastered EUV technology, while 6 nanometers can use 7-nanometer and 5-nanometer technologies to achieve better performance.
In terms of production capacity, TSMC is increasing every year. Wei Zhejia introduced that the recent increase is the 16-nanometer process in Nanjing, producing 16-nanometer processes. Taiwan's 18 factory is used to produce 5nm products.
Currently, TSMC can produce 12 million 12-inch wafers each year, 11 million 8-inch wafers, increasing production capacity by 14.3% each year. Wei Zhejia said: "Recently, customers have asked us for production capacity, and they are scared and happy. In the past five years, TSMC has invested US$50 billion, and this year it will invest more than US$10 billion to increase production capacity."
Regarding the recent rumor about the development of 2 nanometers of TSMC , relevant people clarified to the 21st Century Business Herald reporter that TSMC has not officially released this news, and is currently only seeking new land near the Hsinchu Industrial Park, the headquarters of Taiwan, to build a factory. Of course, for , TSMC , 3 nanometers and 2 nanometers are the direction of research and development, but it has not been determined whether it will be called 2 nanometers in the future.
