is a hot search, sparking heated discussions.

Foreign media revealed that TSMC’s 3-nanometer manufacturing process has entered the experimental production stage. If everything goes well, mass production will be implemented next year.

The information was revealed by people in the industry chain, so it is relatively reliable, and the information disclosed is also relatively detailed. It also announced the location of the 3-nanometer process trial production, which is at the wafer factory 18, which means As TSMC truly enters the 3-nanometer era.

Although I was a little surprised to see the hot search at first, but thinking about it in reverse, this is actually TSMC’s planning path. Wei Zhejia has long revealed that TSMC will risk trial production of 3 nanometers this year and mass production in 2022. For production, you need to know that in addition to technology, you also need a completed production line to be able to produce. It can be seen that TSMC's production process for the 3-nanometer manufacturing process has begun to take shape .

You must know that TSMC is the world's largest and most technologically advanced chip foundry company. Long ago, TSMC has already had the ability to mass-produce 5-nanometer chips, including a large part of my country's earlier chip demand. , all orders placed at TSMC.

At this moment, TSMC has entered the 3nm era, which means that and Apple products will soon be able to use 3nm chips. Obviously 3nm and 5nm are completely different existences, including TSMC official He also said that 3 nanometers is already a complete process node after 5 nanometers, which is a bigger leap. And how big this leap is can be proved by data. In terms of the theoretical density of transistor , 3 nanometers The process is 70% higher than the 5-nanometer process. This span can be said to be extraordinary. In addition, the running speed has also been greatly improved, which can be increased to 15%.

These data prove that the 3nm process is indeed relatively powerful, and when Apple mobile phones use 3nm chips, it will inevitably have more impact on Huawei .

In order to suppress China's development, the United States issued a ban, prohibiting the use of chips produced by American technology and selling them to Huawei at a huge cost. You must know that American manufacturers monopolize more than 50% of the global technology shares of . In other words Well, the most advanced chip production in the world all uses American technology. Without American technology, it means that the world's leading chips cannot be produced. At that time, the fear that China was short of "core" exploded in China. Opened the pot.

Due to the fact that the technology is in the hands of the United States, TSMC cannot continue to cooperate with Huawei. It reluctantly terminates the contract and gives up the big cake of mainland China. And the shortcomings of domestic chips have also been infinitely magnified. So what should we do without chips? Woolen cloth?

Like mainland China, the strongest chip manufacturer is SMIC . The public turned their attention to SMIC at that time. However, SMIC’s technology is limited, and many technologies and even equipment for producing chips are all sources. in the United States, so according to the U.S. ban, even if SMIC can produce 14-nanometer chips, it cannot supply them.

Then the next candidate is Shanghai Microelectronics. However, judging from their technology, what they can achieve mass production is 28nm chips. Let’s take a look. Let’s not talk about TSMC’s 3nm, let’s talk about 5nm. Nano, the gap is indeed very large, and 28-nanometer chips cannot meet the development of modern smartphones. Fortunately, they still play a big role in smart home appliances and can also play a role in other fields. Will not be completely restricted.

It can be seen that China does have great shortcomings in the field of chips. Among them, the biggest limitation is that our country does not have the lithography machine that can produce 5-nanometer chips. The chips need to be equally high. Only sophisticated equipment can be produced. The most advanced lithography machine in the world is in Asmail. However, because their technology is also restricted by the United States, even if we buy a lithography machine from them, it will be too late. Delivery was delayed, and later the United States imposed a ban, making it impossible to export equipment to China.

It can be seen that no matter what it is, we have to have our own talents. This time it is because of the powerful technology of the United States and the distribution of technology shares among major manufacturers, and our country does not have the strength to be self-sufficient, so it is so restricted. So It’s really important to have the talent yourself. Even if we don’t produce, we still cannot lack technology.

TSMC’s 3-nanometer manufacturing process has once again stimulated the hearts and minds of our people. I believe that our country will eventually be able to possess the technology we want. Some netizens said, has the United States told us atomic bomb technology? No, do we still have few breakthroughs in high-end technologies?

Therefore, we can still break through the problem of chips. While seeking other cooperation, we will improve the "production path" of our own chip technology at the same time, so that we will not be led by the nose.
