TSMC unveils A13, A12 and N2U process roadmap at North America Technology Symposium

At its North America Technology Symposium in Santa Clara on April 22, 2026, TSMC introduced A13, which it says gives 6% area savings over A14 and enters production in 2029. It also announced A12, an A14-platform node with Super Power Rail backside power due in 2029, and N2U, a 2nm platform due in 2028 with 3-4% more speed or 8-10% less power than N2P. The release also gives 14-reticle CoWoS production in 2028.

• A13: 6% area savings vs A14; production in 2029
• A12: Super Power Rail backside power; production in 2029
• N2U: 3-4% speed gain or 8-10% power reduction vs N2P; production in 2028
• COUPE on substrate enters production in 2026; 14-reticle CoWoS in 2028
