Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:TSM) will shut down its 6-inch wafer manufacturing business over the next two years and consolidate its 8-inch wafer production capacity to boost efficiency, the company said Tuesday.
Taiwan Semiconductor operates one 6-inch wafer fab and four 8-inch wafer fabs in Taiwan for mature-node chip production. At the same time, advanced-node manufacturing for clients like Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) takes place in 12-inch fabs.
