TSMC Says Started Mass Production of 'Most Advanced' 2nm Chips

TSMC’s N2 process uses gate-all-around nanosheet transistors to improve efficiency and density with a 10-15% performance gain or 25-30% power reduction, CEO C.C. Wei said.

  • On Dec. 30, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. said it began volume production of N2 chips at Fab 22, Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan, confirming the milestone on its website.
  • The N2 node introduces gate-all-around nanosheet transistors and super-high-performance metal-insulator-metal capacitors , offering 10%–15% performance gains or 25%–30% power reductions versus N3E.
  • Demand from multiple customers prompted TSMC to prepare more than one N2-capable fab simultaneously, shifting ramp plans from Fab 20 near Hsinchu to include other sites.
  • The company said this rollout covers smartphone and AI/HPC chip designs, the company's 2nm technology page confirmed meeting the original roadmap, and described the process as energy-efficient.
  • Looking to 2026, the company will introduce N2P and A16, with volume production slated for the second half of 2026 and Wei saying, 'With our strategy of continuous enhancements, we will also introduce N2P as an extension of our N2 family.
