TSMC 3nm process node is the best FinFET technology and TSMC dominates semiconductor chip fabrication with higher transistor ...

As TSMC's Kumamoto fab kicks off operations, this marks the first time logic chips featuring FinFET transistors have been made in the Land of the Rising Sun. TSMC's new fab near Kumamoto on Kyushu ...

TSMC has notified clients of a 3-8% price increase for its 5nm and 3nm process manufacturing in 2025 to reflect escalating costs, according to sources at IC design houses.

TL;DR: TSMC's 5nm and 3nm production lines are fully booked until mid-2025 due to high demand for AI, Qualcomm, and MediaTek chips. AI chip orders will keep 5nm lines over 100% utilized in early 2025.

Despite both companies introducing 5nm in the same year in 2020, TSMC’s 5nm revenue was 21x higher than Samsung's in 2021. Even its 7nm to 10 nm revenues were 6x higher than Samsung's.

TSMC's new 2nm process node is the first time the company will be using all-around gate transistor (GAAFET) architecture, replacing the FinFET technology that has been used for many years now.
