TSMC Achieves New Milestone With Its 2nm Process, As Trial Production Yields Exceed 60 Percent, Which Was Better Than Expected
The 2nm process still has a while before mass production officially kicks off, but even as TSMC prepares its 3nm 'N3P' technology for a range of customers, yields of its succeeding node have produced results beyond expectations. According to the latest report, the trial production yields of its 2nm node exceeded 60 percent, making it a phenomenal result for a plan that is in its early stages. Samsung, who is reportedly developing an Exynos chipset on the second-generation 2nm process codenamed 'Ulysses', has no yield count confirmation, which pretty much puts TSMC in first place.

Mass production is scheduled for next year, with demand for 2nm wafers reportedly higher than TSMC's 3nm variants
As reported by the Liberty Times, TSMC is bulldozing what some might have believed to be its biggest challenge yet; reaching a high yield for its 2nm process. Keep in mind that there is massive room for improvement, with the foundry giant possibly raising the aforementioned figure to 70 percent before clients like Apple, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and others start placing orders for the 2nm process.
