SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 11, 2017 – Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced its collaboration with TSMC to advance 7nm FinFET Plus design innovation for mobile and high-performance ...

TL;DR: TSMC's advanced 2nm process node, featuring GAAFET architecture, matches 5nm defect density and surpasses 3nm and 7nm stages ... replacing the FinFET technology that has been used for ...

TSMC's 2nm process node is cruising through development and is already showing better defect rates than 3nm and 7nm did at the same ... The move away from FinFET means each transistor now gets ...

5: Percent Wafer Revenue for <= 7nm by Calendar Quarter. As shown in Figure 5 above, the 7nm and below FinFET nodes now account for almost three-quarters of TSMC’s wafer revenue. In other words, the ...

Even its 7nm to 10 nm revenues were 6x higher than ... partly due to the maturity of TSMC's FinFET architecture. Samsung, on the other hand, had been faced with challenges with its GAA ...

TSMC completed FinFet implementation and beat Samsung ... Liang Mong Song is responsible for pushing China to 7nm (close to the leading edge). He is a genius with 500 patents. Brian Wang Brian Wang is ...

FinFET is used in 14nm, 10nm and 7nm nodes. TSMC uses FinFETs in the 5nm, yet will phase out FinFET after the 3nm. As TSMC moves toward GAA for the 2nm, having the gate wrap “all-around” will ...

Another TSMC veteran, Liang Mong Song, took the helm in driving SMIC's FinFET chip processes from 28nm to 14nm and now successfully advanced to the N+1 and N+2 node of 7nm. But Liang, who was ...

TSMC announced the launch of its "TSMC University FinFET Program", aimed at developing future IC design talent for the industry and empowering academic innovation around the world. Save my User ID ...

“By offering our 16nm and 7nm technology through the TSMC University FinFET Program, we open a whole new arena for researchers and students to explore their ideas, and fuel their curiosity and passion ...

Moreover, unlike Samsung moving to the new gate-all-along (GAA) technology for its 3-nm node, TSMC decided to stay with the FinFET technology at the 3-nm fabrication process and instead move to GAA ...
