Sina Technology News on the morning of December 20, according to Taiwan's "Economic Daily" report, TSMC's 3-nanometer factory passed the environmental assessment. According to the original schedule, the world's first 3-nanometer factory is expected to start construction in 2020, as early as 2022. Mass production will begin at the end of the year, and the global semiconductor industry will enter a new era.

In August this year, the Taiwan authorities' "Environmental Protection Agency" task force reviewed the case for the first time, setting a record for a major development project to pass the first review. When it entered the environmental impact assessment meeting in November, due to the significant increase in daily water use of 75,000 tons and 880,000 degrees For electricity use, the Environmental Protection Committee requires clarification before review. Yesterday, the "Environmental Protection Agency" held another environmental impact assessment meeting, and the environmental impact assessment case was successfully passed, indicating that TSMC's 3-nanometer plant will be able to proceed smoothly.

TSMC has kept its 3nm mass production schedule secret. In addition to preventing rival Samsung from accelerating investment, it is also because the environmental impact assessment case has not been passed, thus avoiding setbacks. Now that the 3nm environmental impact assessment case has been passed, TSMC can successfully build the wafer 18 factory. Phases 4 to 6 of new factories. According to TSMC’s planning blueprint, 3 nanometers should be in trial production in 2021 and mass production in 2022, becoming the world’s first foundry to provide foundry services and simultaneously solve the problem of many AI artificial intelligence chips with more powerful functions.
