TSMC prepares to continue to dominate semiconductor production
For years the Taiwanese multinational TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited) has secured a privileged place in the semiconductor design and manufacturing market. And now that its closest competitors, the North American Intel and the South Korean firm Samsung, are debating the relevance of producing smaller chips, TSMC wants to go one step further.
Most of today’s manufacturers are immersed in the era of 3 nanometer (nm) semiconductors, but the Taiwanese giant will make a difference by starting pre-production work on 2nm chips.
Why TSMC takes the lead with 2nm?
At present it has been assumed that the main path of development in the semiconductor industry is continuous reduction in size; And not only manufacturers have focused on making them smaller, but with new materials and more advanced processes.
Having 2 nanometer semiconductors provides a performance boost compared to its predecessor and can be much more efficient even at the same power levels. The lower the number of nm, the more transistors per area. The result is more power with less resource consumption.
How will TSMC achieve this goal?
TSMC has revealed that to achieve this they will use Artificial Intelligence (AI), using the AI-enhanced method called AutoDMP that uses NVIDIA’s DGX H100 chips. With this they will achieve that they are faster, with better energy efficiency and in a reduction of polluting carbon emissions.
The firm hopes that the move to 2nm will increase node density and reduce leakage current, a possibility that would lead to a high-performance node that uses 20-25% less power.
TSMC intends to start pre-production in 2023 with a view to achieving full-scale production by 2025. In fact, they have already sent qualified personnel to Baoshan, where they hope to produce 1,000 wafers of 2nm chips this year.
The Asian company founded in 1987 is very clear about its expansion goals to continue being leaders. This new milestone in the manufacture of semiconductors that they intend to achieve soon would place them even more at the forefront of the industry.
