Fast Technology reported on February 24 that according to ** reports, TSMC Kumamoto Factory was officially opened today (February 24) and will become the most advanced logic wafer factory in Japan after mass production at the end of the year.
It is understood that TSMC's Kumamoto plant started construction in April 2022 and will be completed and opened in 20 months, and will mass-produce 12nm, 16nm, 22nm and 28nm processes in the fourth quarter.
At the same time, the factory can also receive a subsidy of up to 476 billion yen (about 22.8 billion yuan) in Japan, and the second factory can receive about 730 billion yen (about 349 yuan).6.7 billion yuan).
In February this year, TSMC announced further expansion in Kumamoto, starting construction of a second wafer fab at the end of 2024 and mass production by the end of 2027, adding 6nm, 7nm and 40nm process technologies.
According to TrendForce, the Kumamoto plant in Japan is expected to have a total production capacity of 40 50 kWpm, and its process will be mainly 22 28 nm, with a small amount of 12 16 nm, in preparation for the subsequent main process of Kumamoto Plant 2.
In 2023, the global wafer foundry revenue will be about 1174700 million US dollars, TSMC's revenue accounts for about 60%; It is estimated that it will be about 1316 in 2024500 million US dollars, TSMC's proportion will rise to 62%.
