VIS broke ground for the facility in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s (TSMC) smaller affiliate Vanguard International Semiconductor Corp (VIS) may accelerate the chip production schedule at its new US$7.8 billion ($9.95 billion) joint venture in Singapore on greater customer demand for hedging against geopolitical risks.
VIS may be able to push production at the new plant, which makes mature chips, to as soon as late 2026 versus the originally announced schedule of the first half of 2027, VIS Chairman Fang Leuh told reporters at a company event on Saturday in Taoyuan, Taiwan.
