reports TSMC has already obtained land for a future 2nm facility. The plant will be build in Hsinchu, Taiwan, which means it will be located closer to the company's HQ than the 3nm and 5nm lines:
TSMC is fast advancing its manufacturing processes. With volume production for 3nm node planned for second-half 2022, TSMC has disclosed that it has already obtained land in Hsinchu for a project to build its 2nm wafer fab. The new project will take the foundry's most advanced manufacturing capacity back to the northern Taiwanese city that houses its headquarters, but its expansions for 5nm and 3nm nodes continue at the Southern Taiwan Science Parks, where TSMC has acquired several plant buildings from other companies.
