It plans to repair the 28nm expansion plan of Nanjing plant from the original 40000 pieces per month to 100000 pieces, an increase of up to 1.5 times, which is the largest expansion plan in the mature process in the past seven years p> < p > according to the report, TSMC's strategic adjustment shows that after TSMC's high-performance computing chips shine after customers of international major manufacturers such as Chaowei and Huida, automotive chips will become the next main driving force to boost TSMC's revenue growth p> < p > in fact, at the performance teleconference held in the middle of this month, TSMC has said that the supply of automotive chips is expected to rebound significantly in the next few weeks, and the chip shortage perplexing the global automotive industry may have passed the most serious stage p> < p > TSMC said that the output of MCU (microcontroller, mainly used for automobile) in the first six months of this year increased by 30% compared with the same period last year. The company will increase the output of MCU by nearly 60% this year. Wei Zhe, CEO of TSMC, said that through the MCU production increase measures, it is expected that the shortage of automobile chips for the company's customers will be greatly alleviated from this quarter. But a broader semiconductor shortage is likely to continue until 2022 p> < p > in addition, TSMC also said at that time that in order to boost customers' confidence in the company's long-term supply security, TSMC said it was ready to continue to invest in mature chip production technology relied on by automobile chip production. The company is expanding factory capacity in Nanjing and other places to further improve the output of automotive semiconductor chips. The company is also negotiating the construction of a new factory in Japan p>
