GigaFab. Following TSMC&#146;s Fab 12 Phase 6 in Hsinchu, this facility will be another key production center for TSMC&#146;s advanced 20nm technology, providing TSMC with abundant leading-edge capacity.<B> </B></FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">TSMC persists in innovation and development of 20nm and more advanced technologies and is committed to providing sufficient capacity. The Company&#146;s
20nm technology is scheduled to begin volume production at TSMC&#146;s Fab 12 next year. The Fab 14 Phase 5 facility will be TSMC&#146;s second 20nm-capable fab, scheduled to begin volume production in early 2014. Combined with the planned Fab 14
Phase 6, total cleanroom area will reach 87,000 square meters &#150; equal to more than 11 soccer fields and four times larger than a typical 12-inch fab &#150; and will further strengthen TSMC&#146;s global competitiveness in advanced technologies.
Building on TSMC&#146;s industry leadership in 28nm technology, TSMC also expects to launch its 20nm technology ahead of foundry peers. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;TSMC will continue to invest in Taiwan and fortify its trinity of strengths &#150; technology leadership, manufacturing excellence, and customer
trust,&#148; said TSMC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dr.&nbsp;Morris Chang, who hosted the groundbreaking ceremony. &#147;Our mission is to be the trusted technology and capacity provider of the global logic IC industry for years to come. In
fulfilling this mission, we further solidify TSMC and Taiwan&#146;s indispensable position in the world semiconductor industry. This groundbreaking for Fab 14, Phase 5 represents TSMC&#146;s capability to develop leading-edge technology, build
advanced capacity, and satisfy customer demand. It also lays the foundation for TSMC&#146;s next wave of growth.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Fab 14 is TSMC&#146;s
second 12-inch fab following Fab 12, and Phase 1 of the facility began volume production in 2004. With Phases 1, 2, 3 and 4 now in operation, Fab 14 has capacity of 550,000 12-inch wafers per quarter, making it the world&#146;s largest 12-inch fab.
Its capacity and yields continue to reach new highs, making it a global leader. The output of Fab 14 phases 1 through 4 has an estimated annual revenue of US$6 billion, and TSMC expects the combined annual revenue of Phases 5 and 6 to reach a
similar scale. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Currently Fab 14 is staffed by approximately 4,600 employees, and the expansion of the facility will create another 4,500
high-quality job opportunities, bringing fresh talent into the semiconductor industry and injecting momentum into TSMC&#146;s continued growth. </FONT></P>
