The 7nm process achieves NMOS TDDB and PMOS NBTI lifetimes comparable to 16FF+, using careful post high-k/MG thermal optimization. In addition, I/O devices are also optimized by junction doping profile to reduce S/D to substrate leakage current and hence enhance hot carrier immunity. The test...

MinerVa7 Bitcoin ASIC (SMIC 7nm) Process Flow AnalysisThis report provides an analysis of the process flow used in the manufacture of the MinerVa7 Bitcoin ASIC, fabricated in SMIC's 7nm processPFA-2206-802Logic - Process Flow Analysis
If you've ever seen a rocket launch, flown on an airplane, driven a car, used a computer, touched a mobile device, crossed a bridge, or put on wearable technology, chances are you've used a product where Ansys software played a critical role in its creation. Ansys is the globa...
Word on the street is that TSMC is on schedule with 16FFC, 10nm and 7nm, which is a very big deal for the fabless semiconductor ecosystem. As Scotten Jones has illustrated in the graphic below, for the first time in the history of the semiconductor indus
The 7nm HPC platform includes a new design flow being released in June as well as enhanced IP and process optimisations. It drove an ARM A72 to more than 4GHz. The platform also supports on-chip magnetic inductors to create integrated voltage regulators. ...
At this point 7nm is too expensive to just use on whatever.Actually it's the opposite. :) "Mid-tier" is what actually matters. A good 7nm process will improve power efficiency and reduce size. That's what AMD needs to make Navi successful. At first 7nm supply will be very limited, ...
The N7+ process with EUV technology is built on TSMC’s successful 7nm node and paves the way for 6nm and more advanced technologies. The N7+ volume production is one of the fastest on record. N7+, which began volume production in the second quarter of 2019, is matching yields ...
TSMC’s 5nm process is already in risk production and offers IC designers a new level of performance and power optimization targeted at the next generation of high-end mobile and HPC applications. Compared with TSMC’s 7nm process, its innovative scaling features deliver 1.8X logic density and ...
I'm not going to talk about anything above N7 (7nm, although TSMC uses the Nx terminology for the advanced processes). N7+, the second-generation 7nm process is in production with yield the same as N7. The volume ramp that TSMC executed for N7 was the fastest ever to meet time to...
