TSMC is set to start moving equipment into its Fab 21 phase 2 in Arizona next summer, according to Nikkei, which cites sources familiar with the plan. Once the supporting and production tools are installed sometimes in 2027, the company will be able to start mass production of chips using its N3 technology, several quarters ahead of schedule.
TSMC will begin installation of equipment into its Fab 21 phase 2 in Arizona in the third calendar quarter — from July to September — of 2026, with the aim to start production at the facility in calendar 2027, several quarters ahead of the original schedule of 2028, if the report from Nikkei is accurate.
