Taiwan's TSMC, the dominant leader in the global foundry market, has disclosed its plans to move into 2-nanometer technology.
The foundry giant announced at an online technology symposium on Aug. 25 that it will mass-produce semiconductors based on a two-nanometer process in 2024.
TSMC senior vice president Kevin Zhang said the company will open a new cutting-edge research and development (R&D) center in Hsinchu next year to develop 2-nano technology. Zhang added the company is seeking to acquire land adjacent to the new R&D center to build a production fab for 2-nano products. TSMC plans to spend about 22 trillion won to build the new plant.
