lswcapIBM announced that it has produced the world’s first 2-nano manufacturing process chip using nanosheet technology. Chip development in the 2nm manufacturing process is important in the semiconductor field and is expected to have a great impact on computers, communication devices, and space development.
It is said that transistors manufactured by the 2-nano manufacturing process are smaller than DNA strands. The 2-nano manufacturing process chip is expected to exhibit 45% higher performance than the 7-nano manufacturing process chip, and the same performance processor energy consumption is expected to decrease by 75%. This indicates the possibility that the battery life of smartphones, etc. will be extended by 4 times.
IBM says that IBM itself will not manufacture chips for the 2nm manufacturing process, but will use partners including Samsung Electronics to manufacture processors.
