At the same time, Chen Meixi stressed that if there are abnormal circumstances that will initiate emergency water supply measures, there will be higher guarantees for process and yield.
TSMC Wafer No. 18 Plant has settled in Nanke. The government promised to supply water and electricity stably. It proposed to use reclaimed water solution. Since semiconductor wafer production currently uses pure water, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. uses reclaimed water in its wafer 18 plant. Whether the market concerns will affect fabs Production quality and yield.
During the interview with the Central News Agency, the chairman of the National Development Committee, Chen Meiyi, said that the industrial production water needs to meet the needs of industrial production. For the advanced process water requirements and standards of Nanke, when discussing the use of recycled water, the water quality and standards were discussed with the water use side. Two-stage RO (Reverse Osmosis) As a water supply plan, the relevant water quality should be in line with Nanke's relevant advanced process requirements.
Meimei Chen explained that the “Nanke advanced process environment construction progress supervision platform” established last year was established for the entire advanced process in the entire Tainan Science Park, cross-central relevant ministries and the Tainan municipal government, mainly to solve the key issues affecting industrial operations. problem.
Chen Meixi said that in order to help the industry to eliminate investment obstacles, the Executive Director Lai Ching-de chaired the Taiwan Special Meeting on several occasions to accelerate the investment in the industry. This is to solve the problems encountered by the industry. In addition to the advanced process of Nanke, it is also currently addressing the issue of the China Science Park.
In addition, Su Zhengang, Deputy Director of the Bureau of South Bureau of Management, interviewed pointed out that Namco's advanced manufacturing process is not just part of TSMC, but there are also many companies that need to use reclaimed water. They also dealt with this issue in coordination at the meeting to ensure that manufacturers use demand.
Su Zhenang said that in response to the industrial needs encountered by manufacturers, they have held meetings and tracked progress since the second half of last year, because advanced process manufacturers are major investments in Taiwan. Besides collecting details of manufacturers’ needs, they also need to keep track of progress. Coordination.
TSMC's 5-nanometer new factory wafer 18 plant is the world's first fab to enter the 5-nanometer process, with a capital investment of NT$500 billion. It plans to start production in 2020.
TSMC’s 3-nanometer and 5-nanometer plants have determined that they have settled in the southern science industrial park. Facing the demand for water and electricity, the Tainan municipal government first started the Zengwen water purification plant in April last year and added 20,000 tons of water every day. It also upgraded Yongkang sewage treatment plant to reclaimed water. The factory is expected to supply 15,000 tons of industrial water per day by 2020.
