In semiconductor manufacturing, the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems defines the "5 nm" process as the MOSFET technology node following the "7 nm" node. In 2020, Samsung and TSMC entered volume production of "5 nm" chips, manufactured for companies including Apple, Huawei, Mediatek, Qualcomm and Marvell. [1][2]

2025年3月21日 · First introduced by the major foundries around the 2020 timeframe, the 5-nanometer process technology is characterized by its use of FinFET transistors with fin pitches in the 20s of nanometer and densest metal pitches in the 30s of nanometers.

2021年9月29日 · The latest "nm" to enter the game is 5nm, which is already in use in some devices and is heading to PCs in the near future. Newer 5nm designs, like other manufacturing processes before them, promise better power efficiency and faster performance and just generally pushing CPU technology forward.

2021年8月11日 · For integrated chips or systems on a chip, the 5nm process node enables chipmakers to integrate smaller and more advanced chip components such as graphic processing units and artificial intelligence or machine learning processors, among others.

2025年3月27日 · The result of using older DUV equipment will allow SMIC to reach its 5nm goals, but aside from the increased costs, the yields are said to be a measly one-third of TSMC’s figure on the same ...

TSMC continues to expand its 5nm technology family to meet diverse customer demands. These include N5P, N4, and N4P for better power, performance and density, N4X, a process tailored for high performance computing (HPC) applications, and N5A for automotive applications.

2018年5月8日 · At a special event last week, TSMC announced the first details about its 5 nm manufacturing technology that it plans to use sometime in 2020. CLN5 will be the company’s second fabrication process...

2019年4月16日 · Samsung’s 5nm is the next step in the evolution of EUV. 5nm will be more efficient and feature new innovations including Samsung’s proprietary Smart Diffusion Break (SDB) transistor architecture.

2020年8月24日 · TSMC's 5nm 'N5' process employs EUV technology "extensively" and offers a full node scaling benefit over N7. TSMC claims the N5 process offers up to 15% more performance (at the same power) or...

2022年6月25日 · Angstronomics presents the hard truths of the world's most advanced process node. We detail their claims vs real chips, how transistor density is calculated, show concrete measurements on the real dimensions of TSMC N5, and get technical on its transistor layout to explain area scaling.
