The world’s largest contract chipmaker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., said it plans to begin mass production of its A13 advanced manufacturing process in 2029.
TSMC made the announcement at its North America Technology Symposium, which opened April 22 in Santa Clara, California. The company described A13 as an improved version of A14, its next-generation process technology now under development.
TSMC previously unveiled A14 in 2025 as the successor to the current leading-edge 2-nanometer process. The company said A13 uses A14’s circuit structure to increase density and reduces area by 6% compared with A14. It said the process is aimed at smaller, more efficient designs for next-generation artificial intelligence, high-performance computing and mobile devices, and offers improved power efficiency.
TSMC plans to start mass production of A14 in 2028.
