If 5 years ago said that the world's most powerful chip manufacturing process belongs to TSMC, Samsung would probably be the first to stand up and express dissatisfaction. According to the current situation, although , Samsung is not convinced, TSMC still has a sense of "contempt" to Samsung. After all, in terms of advanced process technology, TSMC has achieved mass production of 5nm process, while Samsung is still struggling with 5nm process.

More critical point is that ASML is likely to have a delay in the supply of EUV lithography machine . It is estimated that the possibility of arrival by the end of this year is not high. This is indeed not good news for Samsung, which plans to achieve mass production of 5nm processes by the end of the year. Even if it successfully achieved mass production, the lack of a sufficient number of lithography machines means that it will be greatly reduced in terms of production capacity.
TSMC
Recently, TSMC once again proved with its strong scientific research strength that they are the most advanced process technology companies on this planet and the number one in the chip foundry field!
TSMC
It is reported that TSMC has been in progress in the advancement of advanced process technology according to internal planning, including this year's 5nm process and next year's 3nm process. As for the 2nm process, it has been under development. According to the plan, it will be successful in 2024. However, these are not all TSMC's plans for advanced process technology, because TSMC is still at the limit of Moore's Law that everyone is concerned about: 1nm process!

It is reported that this news has been confirmed at TSMC's recent meeting. As for when a breakthrough will be achieved, it seems that there is no specific time setting yet. However, the 1-nanometer scale has reached the physical limit for silicon-based transistor . Moore's Law should really disappear later. Of course, as for Moore's Law to survive, it can only rely on other new materials to rely on!
TSMC
TSMC's rapid development in advanced process technology has exceeded everyone's imagination. As an old competitor, Samsung certainly cannot be indifferent, but has always been paying attention to TSMC's every move. Now TSMC's successive breakthroughs have made Samsung feel unprecedented chill. It is impossible to say that there is no pressure. Do you think Samsung is still likely to turn the tables?
