technology
Prior art has since 2008, the production of chips with a structure size of 40 nanometers (in the 40-nm process ) by the 193 nm immersion lithography , strained silicon and the low-k dielectric - semiconductor technology . The first products in the 40 nm process included Altera's hardcopy ASICs , the RV740 GPU from AMD and the 40 nm Stratix IV FPGA family of chips.
Risk manufacturing in the 28 nm process started in the 3rd quarter of 2010 ; mass production should begin in the 4th quarter of 2010.
Since 2014 TSMC also offer chips at 16-nm - FinFET to process.
In March 2017, 10 nm FinFET production for Apple started.
The 7 nm FinFET production has been running since April 2018 and the 5 nm FinFET production since April 2020, with EUV lithography being introduced in the production of a 7 nm FinFET variant in 2019 . The 3-nm FinFET process is under development and production is expected to start in 2022.
