7nm Fab Challenges FinFET formation, mask challenges and back-end-of-line issues will make this node difficult and expensive.

Today’s EUV masks are suitable for production at 7nm, but they are expensive with relatively low yields. “In any new production ramp, there will always be low yields to start and this is the case for ...

Surging adoption of AI, next-generation technologies is driving semiconductor makers to expand 7nm and more advanced production capacity by 69% through 2028.

Multiple patterning at the 7nm node, as shown in the bottom left of the chart, requires 27 mask layers. However, by switching to EUV (bottom right) at 7nm, only 14 mask layers are required ...

At 7nm and below, yield losses can exceed 50%, due to increased wire resistance and quantum effects like tunneling, dramatically increasing chip development costs and delaying time-to-market.

Samsung has succeeded in commercializing an extreme ultraviolet light technology to etch ever-shrinking chips and is now making 7-nanometer processors.

The discovery of 7nm, 5G-enabled chips in Huawei’s latest phone has sparked an investigation by the US Commerce Department into how the country was able to acquire the technology.

US trade restrictions on Huawei will keep the company's 2025 chips stuck at 7nm, according to a Bloomberg report.

Home > Computing Former TSMC Exec: US Can't Stop Chinese Chip Advances The surprise 7nm Huawei chip is just the beginning.

Half of Hongjun Microelectronics Technology’s 300 workers might be fired after the server CPU firm lost access to TSMC’s 7nm node.

TSMC's next-gen 2nm process node (N2) is progressing smoothly, with defect density (D0) matching its 5nm process, and surpassing its 3nm and 7nm nodes at similar stages of development.
