On March 12, it was reported that TSMC was preparing to start large-scale production of 5nm chips. According to insiders, production will start in April, which is in line with TSMC's plan to start large-scale production of 5nm chips in the first half of this year.

The company has studied the 5nm process for several years. It is reported that TSMC's 5nm chip will be the second chip using ultraviolet lithography technology, while 7nm+is the first. The latter has been used on the latest flagship SoC.

Those who pay close attention to mobile phones should all know that the smaller the nanotechnology, the better, it can increase transistor density and reduce power consumption. The new process will be applied to PC hardware and mobile equipment. TSMC said that the capacity of the wafer factory has been full and no more orders can be taken. Analysts said that this new production line will account for about 10% of the company's revenue this year.

As the 7nm process matures, TSMC will continue to improve the process in order to obtain higher output, and ultimately make it more widely used in mid tier products, so that more consumers can use chips made by advanced processes.
