# TSMC Starts Pilot Production of 1.4nm A14 Chips

September 25, 2026 at 04:48 PM

> TSMC begins A14 process pilot production in Taiwan, targeting a 2028 mass production launch for its next-generation 1.4nm technology.

**Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company** (TSMC) has officially commenced pilot production for its next-generation 1.4-nanometer technology, known as the **A14 process**. Operations are currently underway at **Hsinchu Science Park** and **Central Taiwan Science Park**'s Fab 25.

The A14 process offers a 10% to 15% speed boost and a 25% to 30% reduction in power consumption over N2 technologies. TSMC reports that A14 yields are ahead of schedule, with mass production slated for 2028 followed by the **A13 node**, which enters volume production in 2029.

This advancement secures TSMC's roadmap for high-performance computing. The upcoming A13 node will be compatible with A14 design rules while reducing die area by 6%, ensuring a steady progression in semiconductor efficiency and density for future hardware releases.
