Earlier this year in May, TSMC confirmed that it had entered volume production with its basic 7nm process. 7nm will feature huge gains over 10nm. The process is expected to improve power efficiency by 40% and reduce area by 37% over its predecessor. Therefore, it’s no surprise that TSMC’s customers will be very interested in the company’s N7 process. N7 and N7+ are TSMC’s monikers for 7nm and 7nm+ respectively.  Now, we’re learning that the fab is speeding up manufacturing for 7nm. Take a look below for more details.

TSMC provided us with a lot of details last month. The company confirmed that its N7 process has entered volume production. It also opened up about the N7+ for the first time. The N7+ represents TSMC’s 7FF+ process, the first from the company to utilize Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography. TSMC confirmed the node’s IP validation but also conceded that several of its blocks will not be available before the end of this year.
