JASM, TSMC's joint venture in Japan, has received approval from METI to convert its second fab from mature nodes (40/12/6nm) exclusively to 3nm production. While the technology node advances, monthly capacity drops significantly from a planned 63,000 wafers to 6,000, with production expected by late 2028. Additionally, JASM's first fab will drop 12/16nm plans to focus on 22/28nm and 40nm processes.
