TSMC sets the bar higher with 2nm chip tech: What it means for the industry?
Reports suggest that TSMC is getting ready for 2nm chip process in 2025.
TAIWAN (TechtUSA) - The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is set to begin mass production of its 2nm semiconductor process in 2025, as per a report from Taiwan. The move is part of TSMC's efforts to maintain its position as the world's leading chip manufacturer and keep up with the increasing demand for advanced chip technology.
TSMC to begin mass production of 2nm chips in 2025, while planning to introduce N2P next year
The source suggest that TSMC is planning to introduce another 2nm node, known as N2P, after the production of N2, set to unleashed in 2025. While TSMC has not yet confirmed the existence of N2P, the company has followed a similar naming convention in the past, such as N3P being an improved version of N3, reflecting improvements in the manufacturing process.
However, sources from within the supply chain have indicated that the rumored 2-nanometer node, N2P, is expected to use back-side power delivery (BSPD) to enhance chip performance.
TSMC's 2nm chip production plans suggest that the mass production will take place at the company's Baoshan facility located in Hsinchu. This site is TSMC's preferred location for producing advanced technology chips, indicating the company's commitment to maintaining its position as a leading chip manufacturer.
What does 2nm chips mean for the tech industry?
The move towards 2nm chip technology is significant for the semiconductor industry because it allows for even smaller and more powerful chips, with higher transistor density and improved power efficiency.
This could lead to more powerful and energy-efficient devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and other electronic gadgets. The transition to 2nm chips also demonstrates the ongoing innovation and technological advancements in the semiconductor industry, as manufacturers like TSMC continue to push the limits of what is possible with chip technology.
