TSMC's 6-nanometer manufacturing process will enter trial production in the first quarter of next year

10 month 8 Daily news , Taiwan semiconductor manufacturer TSMC recently revealed , The company 6 Nano process technology will enter trial production in the first quarter of next year , Mass production by the end of next year .

TSMC said , It's extremely ultraviolet （EUV） Micro shadow technology 7 Nano power version (N7 ) The manufacturing process has helped the customer product to enter the market in large quantities . Import EUV Micro shadow technology N7 Based on the success of the company 7 Nanofabrication process , by 6 Nano and more advanced processes lay a good foundation .

N7 The mass production speed is one of the fastest processes in history , On 2019 Mass production began in the second quarter of , stay 7 Nanofabrication technology （N7） In case of mass production for more than one year ,N7 Yield and N7 Quite close to .

N7 At the same time, it provides the improvement of the overall efficiency ,N7 The logical density ratio of N7 Improved 15% to 20%, At the same time, the power consumption is reduced . TSMC quickly builds production capacity to meet the needs of multiple customers N7 The needs of .

TSMC representation ,EUV Micrographics enables companies to continue to drive chip miniaturization , because EUV The shorter wavelength of can be more perfect analysis of advanced process design . TSMC EUV The equipment has reached the strength of mature production ,EUV Equipment and machine also achieve the goal of mass production , In daily operation, the output power is greater than 250 watts .

TSMC said ,N7 Our successful experience is the foundation of advanced manufacturing technology in the future . TSMC 6 Nanofabrication technology （N6） Will be in 2020 In the first quarter of , And mass production by the end of the year . With EUV Further application of micro shadow technology ,N6 The logical density of will be N7 Improve 18％, and N6 By virtue of and N7 Completely compatible design principles , It can also greatly shorten the time for customers to market their products .
