Tsmc Looks To Build Multibillion-dollar Chip Plant In Singapore | Mint (Livemint)

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's largest contract chip maker, is considering building a semiconductor factory in Singapore to help ...

Last year, GlobalFoundries said it would build a $4 billion chip plant in Singapore slated to open in 2023. Singapore is home to many major chip manufacturers and has been favored by semiconductor companies for its pool of skilled talent and well-established ecosystem of suppliers. The company is also building a new plant in Japan with financial help from the Japanese government and investment by Sony Group Corp. For the Singapore project, TSMC is studying the feasibility of production lines that would make seven- to 28-nanometer chips, another person familiar with the plans said. Reducing the concentration of production in Taiwan and keeping leading-edge technology out of Chinaโ€™s hands are also priorities for the U.S. and its allies. The government in Singapore, a major chip-making hub, might help fund the plant and negotiations are under way with the governmentโ€™s Economic Development Board, some of the people said.

Apple today released macOS Monterey 12.4, the fourth major update to the macOS Monterey operating system that launched in October 2021. As it stands, when someone leaves a group chat, WhatsApp announces their exit to the entire group, making the act of leaving very public. All of Apple's latest chips feature the 5nm process, including the A15 Bionic in the iPhone 13 series and the entire M1 Apple silicon line. Beyond the plans for a new plant in Singapore, TSMC is also building a $12 billion factory in Arizona to manufacture five-nanometer chips. Earlier this year, Chinese smartphone brand Oppo launched its first custom silicon chip, the MariSilicon X image processor, in the Find X5. Now, the company's chip design team is developing an application processor (AP) and an entire custom System on ... Chip supplier TSMC's Apple business is predicted to grow almost 25 percent this year as the transition to Apple silicon nears completion and the two companies grow closer ties, DigiTimes reports. Apple could adopt the 2nm process for its iPhone and Mac chips as early as 2025 as the company's main chip supplier, TSMC, has set in motion a plan to produce that process in the early parts of that year, DigiTimes reports. Apple chip supplier TSMC has confirmed that it will begin mass production operations at its new factory in Arizona in 2024, Nikkei Asia reports. Apple chip supplier TSMC is planning to manufacture chips with a 2nm fabrication process by 2024, according to Nikkei Asia. TSMC plans to build a new factory on 50 acres of land for two-nanometer chips in Hsinchu, Taiwan, scheduled to begin manufacturing operations in 2024. The plans to build a new multi-billion dollar factory in Singapore are still under consideration. The proposed production lines would manufacture chips with seven- to 28-nanometer fabrication processes, which are older production technologies.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is reportedly discussing plans with the Singaporean government to open a plant in that country.

Opening a plant in Singapore would further help with global diversification, while potentially avoiding what TSMC founder Morris Chang stated as a dearth of manufacturing talent in the US as well as the high cost of chip production. TSMC has other reasons for wanting a new factory in another country. This would be based on older production tech already in use by cars, smartphones, and other devices.
