Japan Approves TSMC's 3nm Chip Production Plan with EUV Scarcity Limiting Output

Japan's METI approved TSMC's revised plan for the 3nm chip production facility in Kumamoto, reducing output from 48,000 wafers to 6,000 wafers per month due to EUV lithography scarcity.

Why it matters. The reduced capacity reflects the critical role of EUV equipment in 3nm manufacturing and the global competition for these limited tools, impacting TSMC's production capabilities.
