TSMC Announces 55nm Process Technology Readiness
While TSMC has already engaged many leading customers and IP suppliers on the process, the company will continue to streamline adoption using its CyberShuttle prototyping program that allows multiple customers and IP suppliers to share the costs of a single mask set and prototype wafers on a pilot run. The 55nm CyberShuttle runs are expected to be offered on a bi-monthly basis starting from the beginning of May this year.
“TSMC’s half-node process, including 55nm, is the quickest and simplest way for our customers to be cost competitive in the rapidly changing marketplace,” said Jason Chen, vice president of corporate development of TSMC. “TSMC continues to combine manufacturing superiority with a comprehensive design ecosystem to support customers of any size, from startups to multinational giants.”
TSMC’s half-node strategy has a proven track record of helping customers achieve a crucial edge in a fiercely competitive marketplace. The company has been offering half-node processes for six technology generations starting from 0.35-micron.
