When we think of the most important companies in the tech world, names like Apple and Samsung come to mind. However, TSMC is just as important, even if it’s not as visible. The company produces chips for many of the products we use today, from cars to smartphones, and serves as the backbone of the tech world.

Moreover, the Taiwanese manufacturer has no intention of resting on its “back”, is constantly innovating. For example, the company recently started working on a more advanced version of its 3nm process. Now, has also opened its new “Global Research and Development Center”. Here are the details…

New TSMC Center to Focus on 2nm and 1.4nm Technology

TSMC has opened its new global R&D center on July 28th. The center, which is located in Hsinchu, Taiwan, will focus on the development of 2nm and more advanced process technologies. The president of TSMC, Dr. C. C., said at the opening that this new center shows how dedicated TSMC is to staying in Taiwan. He also mentioned that the center will help the company keep leading in the worldwide chip-making industry.

TSMC Chairman Mark Liu echoed Wei’s comments, saying that the new center will help TSMC to “actively develop technologies leading the global semiconductor industry.” He also said that the center will explore fields such as 2nm, 1.4nm, and even more advanced new materials and transistor structures.

The cost to the company for the stunning facility is US$3.3 billion to build and equip. However, TSMC believes that this investment will pay off in the long run. The worldwide semiconductor industry is always changing. To keep up with these changes, TSMC needs to invest in research and development. This facility is also very important for Taiwan because it will employ more than 7,000 people.
