Japan Approves TSMC’s 3nm Chip Production in Kumamoto – TaiwanPlus

Japan has approved TSMC’s plan to produce 3-nanometer chips at its second Kumamoto fab, which is under construction and expected to begin operation by the end of 2028. Initial production is set at 6,000 wafers per month, with final capacity dependent on Japanese government subsidies. TSMC’s existing Japanese fab will shift to producing 22–28nm chips.
