A WWII bomb was found at TSMC’s Kaohsiung site, where five chip factories, including 2-nanometer facilities, are being built.
A Second World War era bomb was found at the construction site of TSMC’s new chip factories in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The firm is currently building five leading-edge chip manufacturing plants in the area. These factories are expected to produce chips with the 2-nanometer and below manufacturing technologies. The details reveal that a bomb likely belonging to the US military was found at the site and has been removed since then.

The Kaohsiung site is one of the most important in TSMC’s portfolio since it will be responsible for producing 2-nanometer chips. This site will house five fabrication plants, out of which the first one, or P1, is expected to enter mass production by year-end.
