The largest contract manufacturer of semiconductor products, TSMC's company considers the preservation of "Moore's Law" is just as important as Intel Corporation, one of its founders formulated this rule of thumb. This can be understood from the quotes of one of the general TSMC directors . The manufacturer promises to use all available innovations to preserve the possibility to switch to more advanced lithographic technology.
By the end of this year, TSMC will start serial production of 10-nm products, at the beginning of the next will be the first experimental samples of 7-nm products, and the development of the 5-nm technologies . Moreover, a team of 300-400 engineers already working on a 3-nm technology. For the development of 2-nm TSMC is going to win the support of academic institutions.
smartphone segment will play an important role in TSMC business, explains the CEO. New features require new electronic components, smart phones will become more complicated. An important area of growth will be the internet of things, and the segment of high-performance computing. The latter, by the way, involves the active use of graphics processors to accelerate calculations.
