Samsung Will Mass Produce 7nm EUV Chips In Q4 2019
"Samsung didn't take the lead in delivering 7nm EUV products this year, and TSMC, therefore, gained an edge.. Now we've got more details about Samsung's semiconductor fabrication, particularly about its 7nm EUV node.. Samsung made chips might make it on Qualcomm and Nvidia's products in the future, and therefore, 7nm EUV will shape the future of both mobile and desktop/server-grade hardware.
Samsung's 5nm node exceeds the transistor density of TSMC's 7nm and Intel's 10nm products. The South Asian chaebol's semiconductor division can squeeze in 130 million transistors per mm². TSMC will catch back up with Samsung through the 5nm node (N5) offering a 173MT/mm² density. Samsung's true ace-in-the-hole will be 3nm gate-all-around. IBM and Samsung jointly announced the world's first 5nm gate-all-around FET chip in 2017. This chip comes can pack 600 million transistors in one mm². The company believes that 3nm will let it halve its 7nm EUV's core area and power consumption."
Remember that 7nm Samsung PS4 Super slim anexanhume ? ;)
I'd call that rumor dead at this point. RIP in peace HBM.
GAAFET looks super promising, not only allowing for smaller features overall, but vastly increasing density and being somewhat "simpler" to pattern at this scale than FinFET.
The key thing is channel stacking. Being able to scale in Z is a huge deal.
