TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker, will establish foundries all over the country as it prepares to launch a 2-nanometer chip unit in Hsinchu, reports said Wednesday (Sept. 23).

If the local plant cannot meet demand for the chips, a foundry in Taichung will step in. The next phase is likely to begin in the north of the country, according to TSMC Chairman Mark Liu (劉德音).

Responding to rumors about plans for Kaohsiung, Liu said the southern city might eventually house a TSMC foundry but that there are no such plans in the near future.
