News TSMC Starts 2nm Process Development for Fast, Efficient Chips

[Admin]

It'll take quite a while longer before 2nm hits mass production, but TSMC is now starting development of the next-next-next-generation process.

According to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_radius

The atomic radius of silicon is 110 picometers or 0.11 nanometers.

I'm highly curious how they intend on dealing with fabrications approaching 0.11 nanometer.

We have come a long way since the 3 micrometer (3000 nanometer) 8086.

we have to remember that ”7nm” is in reality 54nm so we Are not even near Atom level sizes. Marketing nm Are far from real size of component size.

Yeah, these numbers stopped actually meaning anything, some time ago.

I'm highly curious how they intend on dealing with fabrications approaching 0.11 nanometer.

Existing fabrication techniques will break down well before then.

Intel has future generations in the pipeline, as TSMC is doing, but they don't really need to advertise the way TSMC does.
