Mentor's AFS platform, including the AFS Mega circuit simulator, is also now certified for TSMC's 5nm FinFET and 7nm FinFET Plus processes. Mentor's enhanced tools for TSMC's WoW stacking technology ...

Taiwan Semiconductor's 2nm production starts in 2025, with strong growth in advanced nodes and CoWoS packaging. Read why I ...

Silicon-proven DesignWare PHY IP on TSMC's 7nm FinFET process includes USB, DDR, LPDDR, HBM, PCI Express, MIPI, DisplayPort, and Ethernet Successful customer tapeouts of DesignWare Logic Libraries ...

Samsung and TSMC both use hybrid nodes at 14/16nm, though Samsung's 14nm is actually based on an unreleased 20nm die-shrink. FEOL covers wafer production, lithography, etch, and deposition.

So while TSMC is celebrating "one billion functional, defect-free 7nm chips", Intel is facing one defect that is causing a six-month delay to its own 7nm process. Ouch, that's got to sting.

Digitimes is now reporting that TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) and its 7nm family capacity utilization rate have dropped below 50% and will continue to decline as we speed into ...

TSMC chairman C.C. Wei called the demand for 2nm “unprecedented,” far outstripping the scramble for 3nm. The shift to GAAFET is seen as the biggest jump in transistor design since the FinFET ...

GlobalFoundries announced early 7nm availability, with volume shipments beginning in the back half of next year. The company is promising impressive gains compared with 14nm with up to 40 percent ...
