With the continuous development of science and technology, the semiconductor industry has always been one of the focuses of scientific and technological competition in various countries. Recently, TSMC Vice President Lin Benjian revealed a striking news: the immersion DUV lithography machine may be able to advance the chip process from 7nm to 5nm. While this means an increase in cost, the viability of this technology could bring a huge leap forward to China's semiconductor industry.
Lin Benjian pointed out that it takes 4 times to make a 5nm chip, instead of the traditional one. This leads to an increase in time costs, increasing manufacturing time by a factor of 4. However, this technical direction is indeed feasible. He also hinted that in the future, it may take 6** times to make chips with more advanced processes, but this will further increase costs.
According to a number of ** reports, some domestic wafer factories are cooperating with mobile phone giants to plan to manufacture 5-nanometer chips, which are expected to be launched next year. Although the relevant news has not yet been officially confirmed, this move will inject new vitality into China's semiconductor industry.
The introduction of the 5nm process will not only improve the performance of chips in mobile phone SoC and other fields, but more importantly, once the mass production of 5nm chips is realized in China, it will reduce the impact of external technology blockade. At present, sub-5nm chips account for less than 3% of the total, but this progress means that China's chip industry is moving towards independence.
However, although the use of DUV systems to manufacture 5nm chips is an important breakthrough, domestic semiconductor equipment still needs to continuously improve its independent research and development capabilities. This is key to ensuring that the industry is not affected by external dependence.
The development of China's semiconductor industry has attracted global attention. With technological advancement and innovation, China is gradually narrowing the gap with the world's leading semiconductor technology. However, in order to achieve true independence, China must increase investment and efforts in independent research and development of semiconductor equipment.
This development is exciting news for China and the world. It not only represents the rise of China's technology industry, but also represents a potential change in the global semiconductor market. As one of the largest markets in the world, China's breakthrough in the field of semiconductors is expected to drive technological advancement and changes in the global industrial landscape. Behind the manufacture of 5nm chips, there is a more meaningful thing, that is, the United States can no longer stop it, as long as our chip industry reaches the 5nm process, it is really not afraid of blockade
Overall, China's semiconductor industry is in a challenging but promising phase. Through continuous innovation and investment, China is expected to achieve greater breakthroughs in the field of semiconductors and contribute more to global scientific and technological development. This leap will not only promote the improvement of China's scientific and technological strength, but also bring new impetus to global scientific and technological progress.
It is hoped that China's semiconductor industry can make more remarkable achievements and make greater contributions to the progress of human science and technology with continuous efforts.
