TSMC to Open Japan’s Most Advanced Semiconductor Production Facility in February

TSMC will open its first semiconductor fabrication plant in Japan on February 24, 2024. The facility will utilize TSMC’s N28 (28nm-class) technologies to manufacture microchips. TSMC’s Japanese semiconductor factory is located near Kumamoto, a city on the Japanese island of Kyushu. The semiconductor fabrication unit will employ approximately 1,700 people once it is fully operational.

TSMC will probably host a formal opening ceremony on February 24, and the semiconductor fabrication plant will start producing chips in the second half of 2024.  The facility is set to process wafers using a variety of production nodes derived from the company’s N28 (28nm-class) technology.
