TSMC’s overseas fabrication strategy is beginning to deliver its intended return: not immediate cost parity with Taiwan, but manufacturable geographic redundancy, closer integration with major customers and access to subsidized capacity in strategically important markets. Arizona and Kumamoto are already producing … Read More

Huawei Can’t Shrink Its Chips, So It’s Folding Them
On May 25, Huawei semiconductor chief He Tingbo unveiled LogicFolding, an architecture intended to advance chip performance without relying on ever-smaller transistors. Presented alongside Huawei’s “Tau Scaling Law,” the approach prioritizes signal speed over transistor dimensions. It is a genuine engineering response… Read More

How TSMC Is Wiring the AI Era With Light
TSMC’s photonics strategy is centered on integrating optical input-output with advanced logic, rather than selling conventional optical transceivers as standalone products. The company is developing a silicon-photonics foundry platform and a packaging architecture called TSMC-COUPE, or Compact Universal Photonic … Read More
The Twelve-Month Rule Does Not Describe a New Fab
By Nikhil Shah
Capital spending is often treated as if it becomes semiconductor capacity about twelve months later. That can be a useful rule for equipment installed in an existing fab. It is a poor description of a new fab built from the ground up.
I tested the distinction using five advanced-node projects in the United States where… Read More
A 0.42-Nanometer Breakthrough From TSMC Could Push Transistors Beyond Silicon
Researchers at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University and TSMC Corporate Research engineered a 0.42-nanometer aluminum-oxide interface that protects electron transport in monolayer MoS₂ transistors while enabling strong gate control.
Silicon transistors are approaching physical limits that make each new generation… Read More
