Taiwanese Official’s Remarks Point to Possible TSMC 1-Nanometer Site in Tainan

Wccftech reports that remarks by Taiwan Technology Council Minister Cheng-Weng Wu have pointed to Tainan as a possible location for TSMC’s 1-nanometer chipmaking site. The location has not been confirmed.

Wu discussed resource planning at Nanke Sharon Park in Tainan while speaking in Taiwan’s parliament, according to Taiwanese media cited by Wccftech. His earlier comments at the IEEE Asia Solid State Circuits Conference had also hinted that a 1-nanometer facility could be in the Tainan region.

The report says the park also manufactures components for space use. It raises the possibility that the site could target chipmaking technologies below 1 nanometer as well. TSMC’s 1-nanometer technology is called A10, according to the report.

The remarks suggest possible plans, but do not confirm that TSMC will build a facility at Nanke Sharon Park or that it will produce chips below 1 nanometer there.
