Dec 3, 2024 · On November 26, TSMC held an equipment installation ceremony for its new 2nm fab in Kaohsiung, marking the company’s first 12-inch wafer fab in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. This milestone signals TSMC’s transition from construction to production. The Kaohsiung 2nm fab is preparing for mass production in 2025.

Nov 12, 2021 · In October 2021, the first and second phase of Fab 12 obtained the highest platinum rating for zero waste to landfill (UL 2799 certification) in line with TSMC’s commitment to its Environmental Policy.

TSMC Fab12 has produced SRAM chips using the company’s industry-leading, all-copper, 0.13-micron logic process with yields comparable to TSMC’s 8-inch fabs. This milestone makes TSMC the first foundry to deliver a 0.13-micron process in a 300mm manufacturing environment, and the first to yield at production-worthy levels.

TSMC's Fab 12 Phase 4 facility located in the Hsinchu Science Park has earned certification from the R.O.C. Ministry of Economic Affairs Industrial Development Bureau (IDB) to gain Taiwan's first "Green Factory Label" .

TSMC currently operates three 12-inch GIGAFAB™ fabrication facilities – Fab 12, Fab 14, and Fab 15 – whose combined capacity reached 3,936,000 12-inch wafers in 2012. Production within these three facilities supports 0.13μm, 90nm, 65nm, 40nm, 28nm, and 20nm process technologies, and their sub-nodes.

TSMC Fab 12 Phase 1 is the only 300mm semiconductor fab in the world to have achieved the AAA certificate in February 2002, only 10 months after the initial installation of manufacturing equipment. This is considered the shortest time ever to …

Nov 3, 2023 · As a result, TSMC’s Taiwan fabs became the first semiconductor facilities in the world to jointly obtain the highest platinum rating for UL 2799 certification in October. This achievement builds on the success of Phase one and two of TSMC’s Fab 12 in gaining the UL 2799 platinum certification in 2021.
