TSMC Unveils
6-nanometer
Process
7-nanometer
Enhancement Combines Performance/Cost Advantage with Fast
Time-to-Market
Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C. April 16, 2019 -
TSMC (TWSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM) today announced its
6-nanometer
(N6) process, which provides a significant enhancement of its industry-leading N7 technology and offers customers a highly competitive
performance-to-cost
advantage as well as fast
time-to-market
with direct migration from
N7-based designs.
By leveraging the new capabilities in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography gained from the N7+ technology currently in risk
production, TSMCs N6 process delivers 18% higher logic density over the N7 process.
At the same time, its design rules are fully compatible with TSMCs proven N7 technology, allowing its comprehensive design ecosystem to be reused.
As a result, it offers a seamless migration path with a fast design cycle time with very limited engineering resources for customers to achieve the product benefits from the new technology offering.
Scheduled for risk production in the first quarter of 2020, TSMCs N6 technology provides customers with additional cost-effective benefits while
extending the industry-leading power and performance from the 7nm family for a broad array of applications, ranging from
high-to-mid
end mobile, consumer applications,
AI, networking, 5G infrastructure, GPU, and high-performance computing.
TSMC N6 technology will further extend our leadership in delivering product
benefits with higher performance and cost advantage beyond the current N7, said Dr. Kevin Zhang, TSMC Vice President of Business Development. Building upon the broad success of our 7nm technology, were confident that our
customers will be able to quickly extract even higher product value from the new offering by leveraging a well-established design
eco-system
today.
