TSMC's 3nm process is on track, and N3P nodes will be put into operation as scheduled in the second half of 2024
2024-05-20

TSMC recently held a technical seminar, stating that its 3nm process node has entered the right track, and the N3P node will be put into mass production in the second half of 2024.


N3P is based on N3E process nodes to further improve energy efficiency and transistor density. TSMC stated that the yield of N3E nodes has been further improved, which is comparable to the mature 5nm process.


未标题-1


It is reported that TSMC executives have stated that the N3P process has completed quality verification, and its yield rate can be close to N3E. As an optical miniaturization process, N3P is compatible with N3E in terms of IP modules, design rules, EDA tools and methods, so TSMC stated that the entire transition process was very smooth.


The key advantage of N3P lies in its enhanced specifications. Compared to N3E, chip designers can expect a performance improvement of about 4% at the same power consumption, or a power reduction of about 9% at matched clocks. For typical chip designs composed of logic, SRAM, and analog components, the transistor density has also increased by 4%.

Samsung Electronics has basically completed the development of the 8nm version of eMRAM memory process upgrade
Samsung Electronics representative stated at the AI-PIM seminar in South Korea that they are gradually advancing the process upgrade of eMRAM memory as planned, and the technology development of 8nm eMRAM has been basically completed. As a new type of memory, MRAM is based on the principle of magnetism and has non-volatile properties. It does not need to constantly refresh data like DRAM memory, making it more energy-efficient and efficient; At the same time, the write speed of MRAM is 1000 times that of NAND, supporting applications that require higher write rates.
