TSMC 3nm Wafer Output to Hit 180K WPM by 2026 Amid Supply Shortages

TSMC plans to increase its 3nm wafer production capacity to 180,000 wafers per month by 2026. The company also expects to expand its 2nm wafer production capacity to 100,000 wafers per month by the end of 2026. This expansion represents a 20% increase over the initial capacity estimates for the 3nm process. The company anticipates that global supply shortages will continue until 2027.

TSMC plans to increase production capacity for advanced nodes in 2026. TSMC targets a 3nm wafer production capacity of 180,000 WPM. TSMC expects 2nm wafer production capacity to reach 100,000 WPM by 2026. This represents a 20% increase in production capacity compared to initial estimates.

The expansion targets the global market. The company expects to deliver increased supply for both 3nm and 2nm wafers by 2026. This timeline aligns with TSMC's long-term manufacturing roadmap.

TSMC expands 3nm and 2nm wafer production by 20 percent by 2026

TSMC executive C.C. Wei confirmed that supply shortages are expected to continue until 2027. The company's leadership has acknowledged the ongoing shortage. This assessment suggests that demand will outpace supply for the foreseeable future.
