Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) recently confirmed that it will build a 12-inch wafer manufacturing plant in Nanjing, according to Taiwanese media outlet Economic Daily News.

Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs said that it will review TSMC's plant building plans within two months after the company provides complete documentation.

TSMC said that the new plant's production output will be 20,000 12-inch silicon wafers per month, and it will begin using a 16-nanometer process in H2 2018. TSMC will also establish an on-site design service center at the new facility, introducing TSMC's production ecosystem to the mainland.
