TSMC gets U.S. annual licence to keep its China Nanjing chip plant supplied with American tools
The U.S. has granted TSMC a one-year licence to ship American chipmaking equipment to its Nanjing, China plant in 2026. The approval follows the expiry of previous waivers on Dec. 31. TSMC’s Nanjing facility produces 16-nanometre and other mature-node chips, accounting for about 2.4% of the company’s 2024 revenue.
