Samsung has kicked off the new decade in a big way, with the South Korean giant making major progress in its pursuits to become the #1 semiconductor manufacturer by 2030. Samsung has just made a ...

Why it matters: The transition from planar transistors to FinFET was enough to keep Moore's Law relevant for the last 10 years, but even that design is running out of steam. Gate-all-around ...

TSMC revealed its plans for its N2 2nm silicon production earlier this month, and has now revealed more details about it. In addition to switching from FinFET to a gate-all-around (GAA) design using ...

TL;DR: TSMC's advanced 2nm process node, featuring GAAFET architecture, matches 5nm defect density and surpasses 3nm and 7nm stages. Mass production is set for Q4 2025, powering AMD's EPYC Venice, ...

TSMC is currently seen as the most advanced semiconductor company, a position it inherited from Intel due to latter’s 3-year 10nm delay. However, a recent report indicates that TSMC will only move to ...

DIGITIMES Research analyst Eric Chen notes that process scaling has been the core driver of Moore's Law in semiconductors. However, with short-channel effects emerging, the three leading foundries ...

IBM, working with Samsung and GlobalFoundries, has unveiled the world’s first 5nm silicon chip. Beyond the usual power, performance, and density improvement from moving to smaller transistors, the 5nm ...

7nm manufacturing lines from TSMC, Samsung, and GlobalFoundries are all expected to be up and running next year, ready to roll out more efficient processors and other ICs for next generation products.

Samsung may be experiencing problems with its 3nm transition. The company is reportedly dealing with poor yields. The issues could impact the company’s production down the line. Samsung may be ...

IBM, in partnership with Samsung and GlobalFoundries (which manufactures chips for Qualcomm and AMD, among others), has developed a process for building 5nm chips. Two years ago IBM unveiled a 7nm ...
