Technology Node

Technology Node – The minimum IC circuit width is very similar to the length of the light light used by lithographic machines; As a result, the development of Moore’s Light Source law was defined: (1) between 1984 to 1990 defined by 436 nm ultraviolet (UV) light G-line generated by Mercury lamps specified by 1.5 up to 0.8 um technology node processes; . (3) Between 1997 to 2001, 248 Nm of Deep UV (DUV) identified the light generated by KRF laser 0.25 to 0.13 um technology node processes; . and (5) Since 2019, 13.5 nm extreme UV (EUV) lights generated by cans of cans excited by CO

The laser identified the 7, 5 and 3 nm technology node processes. In accordance with Moore’s law, the number of transistors doubled in an IC -Chip of approximately every 20 months (meaning the size of the area for transistors is divided), and the linear size of transistors is reduced At approximately 70% per generation of the semiconductor process, which produces this producer makes it the manufacturer doing linear dimension well known 0.5 um, 0.35 um, 0.25 um, 0.18 um, 0.13 Um, 90 nm, 60 nm, 40 nm, 28 nm, 20 nm, 14 nm, 10 nm, 7 nm, 5 nm, 3 nm and 2 nm technology node.

After the debut of the 193 NM DUV light source was ripe for the production of volume in 2002, mankind had fought to produce techniques that could provide lithography machines with lightweight resources with shorter lengths. It was not until 2019 that technology for making a solid 13.5 NM EUV light source was developed and was finally used for making volume. For seventeen years as the world has been waiting for a shorter length of length of length, the Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company (TSMC) to make the manufacture of 7 n technology node products. This performance can only be possible through the hardworking, strong determination and strict manufacturing discipline poured by the TSMC in this effort, which is reflected in its cultural and technical invention. It is a story that shows how diligence is paid for environmental restrictions.

What Is Node Computing?

From a cultural perspective, TSMC is groundbreaking for a research and development system that operates within a 24-hour job shift plan to reduce cycling time for Moore’s law. In many ways, the strictly packed environment in the city of Taiwan and “motorcycle culture” is included in its people, providing a way of thinking flexibility and a natural desire to push as much Can of limited resources can contribute to TSMC’s focus on continuous and increasing improvement under this time. When I look at this period between 1990 and 1995 when I led the R&D of TSMC, it should be noted that TSMC did not fully comply with Moore’s law to generate a new generation of process technology but rather gradually – Ever developed eight generations (0.8, 0.7, 0.65, 0.6, 0.55, 0.5, 0.45 and 0.35 um) technologies in the process, and took Moore’s team speed a small step at a time. In addition, the TSMC has continued to re -use process modules and materials from previous generations of technology nodes until they are completely useless and should be replaced by new ones.

In the case of its technology, through its diligence, endurance, endurance and strong technology and manufacturing capabilities, TSMC uses complex technical processes, such as exposure to deep, phase shift mask and some exposure to in Later succeeds in using the 193 NM DUV to produce 10 nm and 7 nm technology-Ic products. As a result, TSMC has been able to continue its development of advanced technology nodes with EUV to produce 7 nm and 5 nm technology of nod-IC products when EUV-Lographic technology is ripe that and reliable enough for the application. Intel, in comparison, was unsuccessful in using 193 nm DUV to produce a process for mass manufacture of 10 nm of technology-IC products and stuck in a position where it could not go further or to be Atras.

This is because of this difference -the TSMC eventually replaced Intel’s dominance and adopted the leadership of the semiconductor industry. The roads and reasons for how TSMC came to overcome the Intel I described above were based on my personal perspective and understanding. On March 24, 2021, Intel’s new CEO Pat Gelsingers limit the use of EUV. EUV bumpy curve.

If you are talking about this story, it is impossible not to mention the technical masterpiece that is the EUV Litography machine. An EUV light source is very created in the same way that a star generates light violently with energy from excessive high temperatures and heat. The process begins by using a co

) in an excited condition with very high energy. In the high state of this energy, when a multi -like Jon is in contact with an electron and returns to a lower state of energy -jon or atom, it develops EUV. An EUV -litography machine with an exit power of 250 watts requires an input of 1.25 MW power (0.02% frequency conversion) and consumes 30 MWH’s electricity per working day -equivalent to three thousand times electric election an average household that consumes one day. The development of EUV technology greatly affects human civilization and has the potential to be awarded to the Nobel Prize in the future.

In the development of the EUV-liteography machine and three-dimensional transistor-the mass making of fine-field effects transistors (fine fat) and the formation of grinding-all-peripheral-farm transistor effect (GAAFET) -Moore Lag Forrand to continue press the near future.

The first artificial “day”, the EUV-liteography, is in the amount of production today-it is very attractive and exciting now to witness the parable of another new artificial day. In recent years, MIT’s Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has achieved great development in integration energy. EUV machine uses a co

Laser to wake up tin drops to a local area around the focus of the laser beam in a room and to produce super hot plasma of tin ions to produce EUV light, so that the heat (4×10

ºC) The plasma of the cans of the can is kept insulated and away from the walls of the room. Similarly, CFS uses very high magnetic fields to limit and find extra heat (1×10

ºC) plasma of protons and electrons to fire nuclear fusion reactions while keeping them separate and away from the walls of the room. If the MIT CFS can be inspired and encouraged by the success of the EUV machine to successfully produce a significant amount of nuclear fusion energy, human civilization will completely change two artificial days.
