According to rumors from Taiwan, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has started installing equipment in its latest production facility. TSMC is expanding its Fab 18 in the island's Tainan city for manufacturing semiconductors on the leading-edge, next-generation 3nm chip process node. Fab 18 is currently responsible for producing chips on the company's latest 5nm semiconductor process, and the facility shut down some operations recently after contaminated gas from a supplier made its way inside its main pipelines. It's also turning to be an eventful month for the Tainan plant, which saw its parking lot flooded with water drained out from a nearby construction site.
