Market Chatter: TSMC Weighs Expanding Into Advanced Memory Chip Production

MT Newswires Live11-09

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TPE:2330) is said to be looking to expand into the advanced memory chip manufacturing sector, given the rise in prices due to a shortage of memory chips, The Information reported Friday, citing people with direct knowledge of the matter.

As per the report, the world's largest contract chipmaker has begun working on production plans for 3D DRAM, a specific type of advanced chip requested by its largest customer, Nvidia.

The company could look to build new factories for advanced memory chip or acquire an existing plant and convert it for memory production. However, no timeline has been set for either option, the report said.

TSMC declined to comment to MT Newswires, but said that it focuses on its core business, which is dedicated IC foundry.
