What is the upper limit of chip technology? Just when everyone thought that 5 nm was already the end of chip development, TSMC, Samsung and other companies have begun to mass-produce 4 nanometers, 3 nanometers, and push them to a higher level. And it seems that this has not come to an end, TSMC has put another "big move" to develop in the direction of 1 nm, foreign **: Samsung has no hope.
TSMC is stepping up research and development of 1nm process.
The consensus in the industry is that Moore's Law has come to an end and that there can be no new technological advancements. Moore's Law states that in 18 months, the number of transistors on an IC will double, and its ** will be halved. In short, it is possible to continue to improve the functionality of the chip and reduce costs.
Moore's Law has guided the advancement of semiconductor technology and continues to do so today. However, starting from 5 nm, TSMC's 3 nm process has been split into several different stages in order to achieve mass production of 2 nm in 2025.
Moore's Law has not yet come to an end, but as time goes on, as technology advances and production becomes more difficult, the cost of production becomes more and more expensive. Of course, these costs are paid by the customers themselves, and semiconductor manufacturers like TSMC only need to make progress in the process and produce better products for customers.
That's why TSMC will throw a "big move" and launch an impact on the 1 nm process. At an electronic components conference in the IEEE, TSMC announced its latest chip process development plan, which is expected to develop a 1nm architecture A10 process by 2030, and a single chip can integrate more than 20 billion transistors.
However, with advanced processes, a single chip can achieve the integration of more than a trillion transistors.
When more transistors can fit into the wafer, the wafer will react more quickly, leading to greater breakthroughs in performance. The 1 nm process may seem far away, but it is actually an important part of TSMC's future development.
TSMC will start production of 2 nm and 1Production sites for the 4 nm process and 2 nm process are under construction and are expected to be ready for production in 2025, when the production of the 1 nm process will be closer to 1 nm.
Samsung catches up with TSMC.
TSMC is currently the world's largest chip manufacturing plant, with a chip manufacturing market share of about 60%. The company continues to invest in R&D and is a world leader, and has successfully completed the industrialization of 7nm, 5nm and 3nm processes. With the improvement of the process level, the integration of integrated circuits is getting higher and higher, the energy consumption is getting lower and lower, and the performance is getting better and better.
As the world's largest producer of system-level chips, Samsung has surpassed TSMC and has spared no expense in investing heavily to continuously improve the quality of the process. However, at present, TSMC has planned a 1nm process route, and its scientific and technological strength is still in a leading position.
If TSMC wants to catch up with TSMC, it will face more difficulties, whether it is in chip quality, users, or technology, it is a huge obstacle. Foreign **: Samsung has no hope, Samsung wants to surpass TSMC, which is tantamount to ascending to the sky, and it is difficult to Shu.
It was not possible until Moore's theorem reached a critical point. At that time, TSMC may slow down or even stagnate, while Samsung will develop new processes and new structures, which may be able to reverse the decline.
Before that, Samsung must make up for its customer base, otherwise there will be no customer orders, even if their chip technology is good, it will be in vain.
