TSMC's $65 billion Arizona facility can now match Taiwan production yields according to early trials

TSMC's $65 billion Arizona facility is matching Taiwan production yields and will start mass production in 2025.

: TSMC's $65 billion Arizona facility has achieved production yields comparable to its Taiwan plants during early trials. Mass production at the first fab is scheduled for the first half of 2025. The US government is providing up to $6.6 billion in grants and $5 billion in loans.

TSMC's new $65 billion facility in Arizona has matched the production yields of its Taiwanese plants according to early trials. This significant milestone demonstrates the effectiveness of the advanced 4-nanometer process technology used at the new site.

The facility faced initial delays due to workforce challenges and cultural differences between Taiwanese management and American staff. These issues have since been managed, allowing the project to progress as planned.

The first fab in Arizona is expected to begin production in the first half of 2025, with subsequent fabs scheduled to start in 2028 and by the end of the decade. These future fabs will incorporate advanced technologies such as 2nm process technology and nanosheet transistors.
