[Reporter Huang Xulei/Taichung Report] TSMC acquired the land for the second phase of the Central Taiwan Science Park in Taichung in June this year. Large cement and construction plants in the central region have successively received TSMC-related project biddings, and construction is expected to start as early as October.
The four new plants will use more than 1 million cubic meters of low-carbon concrete. Cement, construction, mechanical and electrical and supply chain manufacturers such as Taiwan Cement estimate that the project and subsequent supply and back-end packaging and testing business opportunities may reach 3 billion yuan. The Central Taiwan Science Park Administration emphasized that the public works of the second phase of the park have been completed one after another, and TSMC's new plant will start construction as scheduled.
The National Science Council's Central Taiwan Science Park Administration invited manufacturers to implant biochar into the park's wax trees to demonstrate advanced green innovations and negative carbon solutions. Central Taiwan Science Park Administration Director Hsu Mao-hsin exchanged views with industry participants. Relevant personnel at the meeting pointed out that TSMC has obtained the miscellaneous licenses required for factory construction, and that the Central Taiwan Science Park Phase II is currently carrying out a flood detention pond soil and water conservation project, which is expected to be completed before the end of September, allowing TSMC to start construction as scheduled in October.
Taiwan Cement and other industry players participated in the green energy discussion. Industry players revealed that TSMC's four new factories used more than 1 million cubic meters of low-carbon concrete. After construction begins, the related construction, mechanical and electrical, component supply chain and back-end packaging and testing, etc., the business opportunities are expected to reach 3 billion yuan.
TSMC disclosed information at the North American Technology Forum in April this year, revealing that it plans to build four factories in Taichung's F25 plant, located at the former Sino-Nan Sports Center. The first factory is expected to start mass production in the second half of 2028. The supply chain further pointed out that the first phase of the Central Taiwan Science Park plant in 2028 should be the first two 1.4nm process factories. It is not ruled out that the second phase will advance to the A10 (1nm) process. This move will enable TSMC to accelerate the layout of the 1.4nm process and ensure market exclusivity.
Currently, TSMC has two factories, 15A and 15B, with a total of 7 factories in operation in the Central Science Park, mainly engaged in 28 to 22 nanometers, and 7 to 6 nanometer processes.
