INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) solidified its commitment to domestic advanced chip production on March 31, 2025, hosting
a ceremony for its NT$1.5 trillion ($45.2 billion) Kaohsiung fabrication complex.The facility, set to begin 2nm chip mass production in late
expansion plans.The Kaohsiung complex will span five phases, creating 7,000 high-tech jobs and 20,000 construction roles
Cleanroom spaces will equal 46 soccer fields, with Phase I equipment already installed and Phase III under construction.The 2nm process,
featuring a nanosheet transistor design, improves speeds by 10-15% or cuts power use by 25-30% compared to 3nm chips
production in Taiwan with overseas ventures, including a $100 billion U.S

DominanceThis pledge addresses local fears of industry hollowing-out, amplified by former U.S
The 2nm pivot marks a tactical shift
TSMC estimates 2nm chips will power $2.5 trillion in end-products within five years, targeting AI, data centers, and consumer
electronics.Global rivals face hurdles
Samsung struggles with 2nm yield rates below 60%, while Intel lags in process refinement
chip industry.The Kaohsiung milestone reflects broader industry dynamics
For global tech firms, the message is clear: cutting-edge innovation still flows through Taiwan.
