Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company prepares to expand production of its advanced 2-nanometer manufacturing process. The company expects this technology to generate billions in revenue as demand from artificial intelligence companies grows. TSMC plans to produce 200,000 wafers monthly by 2028, surpassing its current 3-nanometer output levels. Manufacturing will begin in the second half of 2025 with initial capacity reaching 40,000 units per month. The semiconductor giant anticipates stronger demand for 2-nanometer chips compared to previous generations.
Major technology companies will drive the adoption of the new process node. NVIDIA and AMD represent primary customers seeking advanced chips for AI applications. However, the 2-nanometer process carries higher costs than existing technologies, causing some manufacturers to delay adoption. NVIDIA may continue using 3-nanometer technology for its Blackwell Ultra products while AMD plans similar approaches for MI350 accelerators. Companies developing custom silicon chips will contribute significant demand for the expensive manufacturing process.
