Liu Deyin: The yield rate of 3nm is comparable to that of 5nm mass production in the same period

TSMC held a 3nm mass production and factory expansion ceremony on the 29th. Chairman Liu Deyin said that TSMC’s total investment in Nanke has reached NT$1.86 trillion. The current yield rate of 3nm is equivalent to that of 5nm mass production in the same period, and mass production has been carried out. , the market demand is very strong. After mass production, the annual revenue will be greater than that of 5nm in the same period.

According to "Juheng.com", Liu Deyin said that the current yield rate of the 3nm process is comparable to that of the 5nm mass production in the same period, and it has been mass-produced and is helping customers develop new products. Compared with 5nm, the logic density of the 3nm process is increased by 60%, and the power consumption is reduced by 30-35% at the same speed, which is the most advanced technology in the world.

Liu Deyin said that 3nm technology will be applied in supercomputers, clouds, data centers, high-speed Internet, and many mobile devices, including future AR and VR.

In terms of market demand, Liu Deyin said that the market demand for TSMC's 3nm process is very strong. The mass production of 3nm process technology will start in the first year, and the annual revenue will be greater than that of 5nm in the same period. According to estimates, within 5 years of mass production of 3nm technology, the value of end products worldwide will release 1.5 trillion US dollars.

Previously, the industry had speculated that customers such as Apple and Intel would adopt TSMC's 3nm process.
