Why Yield Isn’t Public- Yield is considered competitive and customer-sensitive information.
- Disclosing exact percentages could affect negotiations with customers like Apple, Nvidia, or Qualcomm.
- Instead, TSMC emphasizes volume production milestones and process variants to signal maturity without revealing internal metrics.
So to answer directly: No, TSMC has not made 3nm yield figures public. The only numbers available are third-party reports (55% early, >90%* later), which are not official disclosures.
* While the global semiconductor foundry market is on the rise thanks to the AI boom, Samsung is moving in the opposite direction. The Korean firm is finding it difficult to keep pace with Taiwan’s TSMC, the undisputed leader. The latter has reportedly achieved a 3nm yield of over 90% and a 2nm yield of 60%. In contrast, Samsung’s 3nm yield is under 60% and the 2nm yield is struggling in the 10-20% range.
Samsung's 3nm and 2nm Yields are Still Far Behind TSMC - SammyGuru

PS
Based on what I'm reading?
EUV ramp going quite nicely.
Will become, at least, as plug n play as ArFi.
