Govt meeting reveals TSMC 2nm chip factory details (Thread 1/5, media link at end): The new addition to Taiwan’s Hsinchu Science Park (Silicon Valley) is 90.02 hectares, almost entirely for TSMC. Construction is estimated at 60-months start to finish. $TSM #semiconductors
2/5 One hectare is 10,000 sq. meters, or 2 ½ football fields. The eco task force overseeing environmental issues with park leaders took aim at water, earthquakes, carbon emissions, all types of pollution and more. (The rest is environmental impact of a chip fab.)
3/5 The plan is for the new area to rely 100% on reclaimed water by 2030, an issue made more pressing due to a drought this year. Earthquakes are a major issue in Taiwan as there are sometimes dozens of small ones each day. TSMC has handled this issue for decades.
4/5 But the eco task force asked park officials to reassess response plans to a big earthquake, as plans are lacking, also a new geological fault assessment. (Note: Liquefaction assessments are also required in most of Taiwan - for an earthquake so bad that land liquefies.)
5/5 The eco task force also tasked the park to provide a waste treatment plan and preservation plans. They must protect the Keya Creek restoration area, preserve green spaces, reduce tree removal, transplant rare plants/trees, and (specifically) butterflies and plants they eat.
6/5 Oops. $TSM #semiconductors
