New process is on the way: TSMC expects mass production of 2nm process in 2025
According to reports, TSMC is about to mass-produce wafer products with a 2nm manufacturing process in 2025, and the market is optimistic about the progress and is expected to lead rivals Samsung and Intel. It is reported that TSMC's 2nm plant will be implemented in the second phase of the Bamboo Branch Baoshan expansion plan. The "Bamboo Branch Administration" has begun construction of public facilities, and TSMC's 2nm plant has also begun ground preparation.
At present, TSMC's advanced process is progressing smoothly. 3nm will be mass-produced in the second half of this year. The upgraded 3nm (N3E) process will also be mass-produced at 3nm one year later, and 2nm is expected to be mass-produced in 2025. Compared with the N3E process, TSMC's 2nm uses a nanosheet architecture for the first time. Compared with the N3E process, the frequency can be increased by 10% to 15% at the same power consumption, and the power consumption can be reduced by 25% to 30% at the same frequency.
