Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. this week disclosed some additional details about its 7nm fabrication process. TSMC reiterated plans to start qualifications of the technology in early 2017 and then initiate volume production in 2018. The 7nm process will use certain elements derived from the 10nm fabrication process, which will help the company and its clients in terms of yields and transition, but with trade-offs.
'The development activity on our 7nm is also ongoing with full steam,' said said Mark Liu, president and co-CEO of TSMC, during the company’s earnings conference call with investors and financial analysts. 'We have a parallel team working on that program. We target 7nm technology qualification in the first quarter 2017, only five quarters after 10nm.'"
