TSMC signs up Apple for three-year FinFET deal

LONDON – Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. is set to supply Apple with processors using its FinFET process at the 16- and 10-nm nodes, after beginning with 20-nm planar CMOS, according to a report from Digitimes that referenced unnamed sources.

TSMC's IC design service partner Global UniChip, which works with customers to help prepare chips for the foundry, is also involved in the three-year deal, Digitimes report said.

A deal whereby TSMC replaces or supplements Samsung, the incumbent supplier of Apple processors, has rumored for several years, but it appears that TSMC's supplier status is about to begin. TSMC is expected to begin supplying a processor called A8 in July 2013 made on 20-nm CMOS and ramp up production "after December," Digitimes said. TSMC is then scheduled to produce A9 and A9x processors in the second half of 2014.

The timing indicates that A9/A9x processors are destined to be produced in TSMC's 16-nm FinFET process.

Both TSMC and Global Unichip said they do not comment on customer orders, Digitimes said.
