TSMC reaches a yield of 60% in its 2 nanometers process

TSMC has reached a yield of 60% in its 2 nanometers manufacturing process, According to Taiwanese local media. Where Yield is the performance of a manufacturing node, measured in the number of viable chips that are manufactured by wafer.

This figure is considerably superior to that which would be reaching its main competitor, Samsung. The Korean company would now be around figures close to 40% after a fairly injured process development, with problems to exceed 20% of Yield.

The process of 2 TSMC nanometers Use GAA technology for the first time in the company. The 2 nanometers are expected to get extra performance of up to 15%, reducing energy consumption in figures that are around 30%.

The mass production of the 2 Nm TSMC and Samsung chips is expected for the second half of 2025

This 60% refers to advanced chips that can be manufactured to 2 nanometers, such as CPUS and GPUS, and not just memories. In manufacturing TSMC memories, Yields of 90%would be around, but you have to have that they are much simpler and less complex chips to manufacture.

Except for surprise, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Apple or MediaTak, among many others, will be the main clients of the 2 Nanometers node of TSMC. Both TSMC and Samsung hope to start large -scale production of the 2 nanometers during the second half of the year.
