As 2 nm approaches, the focus shifts toward interconnect

As 2nm Approaches, the Focus Shifts Toward Interconnect

2nm process nodes are hard enough. But equally critical to the success of 2nm is the interconnect wires that connect the transistors into circuits, ICs, and multi-die modules.
TSMC’s ‘Invaluable’ Status Makes it a Target. Change, it Must

TSMC’s ‘Invaluable’ Status Makes it a Target. Change, it Must

TSMC carries the hope of the technology world for a hitch free semiconductor manufacturing supply chain. It may be up to the task, but has the foundry accepted this is a heavy burden and its fate, for which it must be willing to change further? We suggest some actions.
What is a foundry? Is it time for redefinition or regulation?

What Is a Foundry? Is It Time for Redefinition or Regulation?

Foundries were the means by which access to semiconductor manufacturing was democratized. And now the market has come full-circle putting others in-line behind Nvidia and Apple or coerced to shop elsewhere.
