TSMC now requires Chinese IC designers that use FinFET-based process technologies to package them at U.S. government-approved ...

Accelerating multi-die, multi-chip SoC designs The Cadence® 112Gbps Extra Short Reach (XSR) SerDes IP for TSMC 7nm consists of eight lanes operating at 112Gigabit per second using PAM4 modulation.

It continued: "To support this transition, GlobalFoundries is putting its 7nm FinFET program on hold indefinitely ... Instead of competing directly with TSMC, Samsung and Intel at the cutting ...

Close to 30 leading semiconductor companies have selected Synopsys' 7nm DesignWare ... high-performance FinFET processes," said John Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP at Synopsys. "The ...

TSMC is continuing to back the 7nm FinFET (Fin Field Effect Transistor) process for 5nm - essentially a "3D" non-planar transistor that resembles a fin. Hence the name. However, despite the fact ...

At 10nm/7nm, chipmakers followed the same path to scale finFETs. In 2018, TSMC shipped the first 7nm finFET process, followed by Samsung. Meanwhile, Intel last year shipped 10nm after several delays.

Taiwan's silicon giant is expected to raise prices for smaller nodes starting at 7nm. That relatively mature but still advanced node costs around $10,000 per wafer. Apple, TSMC's most privileged ...

Advanced chips dominate revenue stream TSMC disclosed that 3nm chip shipments accounted for 26% of total wafer revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024, while shipments of 5nm and 7nm chips accounted ...

But 2018 iPhones will have TSMC-made 7nm processors, which should be even faster and more energy-efficient. TSMC beat Samsung in the race to 7nm process volume production, a new Digitimes report says.
