Samsung beats TSMC to be first to produce 3nm chips
Samsung has started production of chips using its 3nm fabrication process, beating rival TSMC, which expects to begin making chips with its N3 node generation later this year.
Korea's electronics giant said it has started initial production with its 3nm process node, which introduces what the firm calls Multi-Bridge-Channel FET technology. This is Samsung's version of the Gate-All-Around transistor architecture, where the gate material wraps around the conducting channel.A feature of the GAA architecture, at least in the early designs, is that the conducting channel is built using vertically stacked nanosheets.
Samsung said the first applications for this technology will be for semiconductor chips aimed at"high performance, low power computing," and that it plans to expand to mobile processors.
