After facing significant backlash from local residents, the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has decided to reconsider the location initially chosen for its upcoming 1nm chip factory.

So, how soon will we see TMDs inside our phones and PCs? TSMC is already looking at 1nm chips, with other companies ...

For the uninitiated, EDA stands for Electronic Design Automation. It's a set of software tools for designing electronic ...

The US Department of Commerce has announced an open competition to demonstrate“how AI can assist in developing new ...

is a somewhat archaic unit equal to a tenth of a nanometre (0.1nm, or a ten billionth of a metre). The “process nodes” of Intel’s latest chips are referred to as “20a” and “18a”.

How much performance gain can be achieved by reducing the chip node by 1nm? Quite a lot, actually. Management claims that its 2nm chip design can be configured to deliver a 10% to 15% speed ...

E-beam inspection is used to find defects with sub-1nm sensitivities, according to ASML. It is also used for voltage-contrast defect applications, where it finds shorts, opens and voids in chips. In ...
