I-Taiwan Semiconductor yokuThengisa Co.. Inkampani yaziwa ngcono ngabo bonke abanegama TSMC usandula ukubhengeza ukuba sele bekwisimo sokuya kwinqanaba elinye ngokubhekisele ekwenziweni kweetshipsi ezintsha, ngakumbi sele bethetha ngazo iinkqubo kwi-3 nm, ebonisa ukuba, ngale nguqulelo, baya kuphinda babe ngumgangatho ocacileyo kwicandelo.
Nangona kunjalo, oku kuneengxaki ezithile kuba ukusebenza nolu hlobo lwee lithographs kunokuba nzima kakhulu kwaye ngaphezulu kwako konke ukubiza, kubiza kakhulu. Njengaphambi kwexesha, xelela ukuba ukwakha umzi-mveliso omtsha, ngokungathandabuzekiyo oya kuba ngumlinganiso kwicandelo lokuvelisa i-chip, ngokokuqikelelwa yiTSMC, kuya kuyibiza inkampani ibe yinto engathethekiyo 20.000 iidola ezigidi.
Njengoko bekulindelekile, olu lutyalo mali oluza kwenziwa yiTSMC kodwa yona izakumela umqobo onzima ekungeneni kubo bonke abaphikisi benkampani abafuna ukusebenza nolu hlobo lwetekhnoloji kuba, ayizukuphela kokunyanzela ukuba baphuhlise iindlela zabo zomsebenzi, kodwa kuya kufuneka bayenze, nokuba bayayenza okanye hayi utyalomali olufanayo Ukuze bakwazi ukukhuphisana kwaye banelise izigidi zabasebenzisi abaza kuqala ukubanga olu hlobo lwetekhnoloji kwizixhobo zabo kubo bonke abavelisi, i-TSMC, okwangoku, ekuphela kwayo eya kuthi ibenakho ukubanelisa.
I-TSMC iba ngumgangatho opheleleyo ngokubhekisele kwimveliso ye-chip phambi kweenkampani ezinamandla ezinje ngeSamsung, Intel kunye ne-IBM
Njengeenkcukacha, xelela ukuba i-TSMC idume ngento enxamnye neembangi ezinde ezinje nge-IBM, i-Intel okanye i-Samsung, ichanekile kuba yiyo inoxanduva lokuvelisa iichips ezisetyenziswa yiApple kwizixhobo zayo eziphathwayo, Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo isiqwenga solwazi esinokunceda ukuqonda ngcono isizathu solu tyalo mali kuba, ngumntu wonke, kuyaziwa ukuba inkampani enama-apile alumkileyo ihlala ivelisa izigidi ezininzi zezibonelelo ngelixa icinezela ababoneleli bayo ukuba bonwabele obona buchwephesha bulungileyo. .
Ukubuyela kumzi mveliso omtsha abalawuli beTSMC enkulu abaza kuqala ukwakha kuwo kwixesha elifutshane, bakuxelele ukuba, emva kwengxoxo zangaphakathi, inkampani sele ikhethiwe ekugqibeleni Emazantsi eTaiwan kwindawo yayo, ngaloo ndlela ilahla phantse ngesibetho amarhe awahlukileyo athe avela kwaye awabeka eUnited States.
I-Intel, isiphukuphuku esikhulu kolu gqatso luphithizelayo
Intel kanye yinkampani ebonakala ngathi iye yabandezeleka kakhulu kolu gqatso luphangaleleyo lokufumana ngakumbi nangakumbi ii-transistors kwiichips zesizukulwane samva nje. Unobungqina bento endiyithethayo kuloo nto kude kube sekupheleni kwe 2014 I-Intel khange iqale ukunikela Iichips ze-14nm, Isizukulwana esasisazi sonke ngegama likaCore M kwaye siphumelele i-22nm Haswells eyayisele ifikile kwimarike ngo-2013.
Kuyamangalisa kwaye ngaphandle kokuhamba kwayo yonke le minyaka, I-Intel ibonakala inqabile ukuya kwimveliso ye-10nm chip, Into esele iqinisekisiwe kutsha nje ibonakala izakwenzeka kunyaka olandelayo kunye nokufika kweIntel Cannonlake. Kwinxalenye yayo, Zombini iApple kunye ne-Samsung sele bezonwabele ezi chips ze-10nm kwizixhobo zabo zokugqibela njenge-iPhone 8, i-iPhone 8 Plus kunye ne-iPhone X yinkampani yaseMelika okanye i-Galaxy S8, i-Galaxy S8 Plus kunye neNqaku 8 yinkampani yaseKorea.
Okokugqibela, ukukhankanya kwakhona ukubetha okubi okusandula ukwenziwa yiTSMC etafileni malunga nemveliso ye-chip, ukuba iinkampani ezininzi zinengxaki enkulu yokuqhubeka nolu gqatso, ngokuqinisekileyo ngoku uya kuyiqonda ngcono into yokuba le nkampani ibhengeza ukuba iya kuqala ukuvelisa i-3nm iichips kungoko ke ophula zonke iingqikelelo ngokubhekisele kwindaleko Ukusukela, ngokutsho koqikelelo, bekulindelwe ukuba i-10 nm izokuya kwi-7 nm, emva koko i-5 nm ekugqibeleni ifike koko i-TSMC ibhengeza ukuba iya kubonelela nge-3 nm chips kwithuba elifutshane kakhulu.
