After Five Years, 28nm Future Remains Bright!SemiWiki - Daniel NenniJul. 13, 2015 |
Five years ago TSMC started 28nm mass production and it went on to become one of the most versatile and successful process technologies in history. The first wave was triggered by an unprecedented demand for application processors from smartphone and tablet vendors. Today it’s widely assumed that 28nm demand will continue growing with the introduction of mid- and low-end smartphones, burgeoning Internet of Things applications, and other second-wave opportunities such as automotive.
Not resting on its laurels, TSMC recently announced several significant process improvements to offer its customers and they are increasing capacity to accommodate strong ongoing demand for 28nm solutions.
