TSMC Reportedly Plans Mature-Node Tool Shift to Singapore, Accelerates Exit as Arizona Expands
Jan. 12, 2026 –
As TSMC steps up its Arizona push with a US$197 million land purchase for a future gigafab, the foundry is also reshaping capacity at home — trimming mature-node output to make room for more advanced processes. According to the Economic Daily News and Investor.com, it is considering shifting some mature-node tools in Taiwan to affiliate Vanguard International Semiconductor’s 12-inch fab in Singapore.
Investor.com, citing industry sources, reports that TSMC is not only relocating related chipmaking tools but also cutting 12-inch mature-node output, shifting some high-end power management orders to Vanguard’s Singapore fab and repurposing the freed-up space for 2nm and 3nm lines.
