TSMC’s new Fab 25 set to produce A14 chips by 2028
TSMC has submitted a construction permit for its new Fab 25 facility in Taichung, aimed at producing next-generation A14 chips by the second half of 2028. The A14 process will utilize TSMC’s NanoFlex Pro architecture, offering significant performance and efficiency improvements. The project involves an investment of approximately $49 billion and is expected to create around 4,500 jobs upon completion.
TSMC has submitted a construction permit for its new Fab 25 facility in Taichung to the local science park authority, according to official filings and media reports. The fab will serve as a key production site for the company’s next-generation A14 process, with mass production targeted for the second half of 2028.
The A14 process features TSMC’s NanoFlex Pro standard cell architecture, delivering full-node performance and efficiency gains over the N2 process—up to 15% faster at the same power, or 30% lower power at the same speed, with logic density improved by over 20%. The project carries a total investment of about $49 billion and is expected to create around 4,500 jobs once fully operational.
