In the following January we heard from the firm's CEO about the progress of these plans, with a target launch date set for H1 2020. Now a recent report suggests that TSMC is confident of reaching its previously publicised goals, as it has started to allocate between 300 and 400 R&D staff to work on developing its 3nm process.

Start: AZFamily[5] gives April 2021 for the start of construction (a November 2022 Taiwan News[6] piece says work started 18 months earlier, roughly May 2021). End: TSMC says high-volume production began in 4Q24. Both are month or quarter precision, not exact days.Fab 1 is the first wafer fab on TSMC's north Phoenix campus, the plant behind the original US$12 billion Arizona announcement. Construction began in April 2021, the first production tools moved in at a December 2022 ceremony attended by President Biden, and TSMC reports high-volume N4 production in the fourth quarter of 2024 with yields comparable to its Taiwan fabs. A labor shortage had pushed its start from late 2024 to 2025 before the schedule recovered.

Only month precision exists for the start and the production start.JASM Fab 1 in Kikuyo, Kumamoto is TSMC's first Japanese fab, a joint venture with Sony Semiconductor Solutions and DENSO. Ground was broken in April 2022, the building was reported complete in January 2024, and the plant opened on 24 February 2024. Mass production began in December 2024. A magnitude-7.1 earthquake on 28 July 2026 halted it briefly, and TSMC reported full production again on 3 August 2026.

Start: TSMC told Taipei Times[1][6][7]/CNA on 2022-11-21 that construction had started after land grading; the site was then planned as a 28nm fab. End: Liberty Times, via TrendForce[5], reports all five fabs targeted for full operation by Q4 2027; this is a report of a plan, not a TSMC statement.TSMC Fab 22 in the Nanzih Technology Industrial Park, Kaohsiung, is planned as five wafer-fabrication phases and is where TSMC's 2nm volume production is centred. Construction started on 21 November 2022 after land grading, and TSMC put the five-phase investment at NT$1.5 trillion. Phases 1 and 2 are running or in trial production while Phases 3 to 5 are still being built, with all five reported targeted for full operation by Q4 2027. A steel-hoisting fall at the Phase 4 site on 20 October 2026 halted steel work.
