'Moore's Law is Limited' and Chairman of TSMC, a semiconductor company that provides chips to the iPhone, made remarks

Semiconductor manufacturing giantTSMCHe said that "Moore's law is no longer effective." "Moore's law limit theory" which does not know how many times it was whispered so far seems to become a reality thing.

SoC for iPhone 8 / XA11 Bionic"Mr. Mo Chang, chairman of TSMC, a semiconductor manufacturer that exclusively manufactures and supplies it to Apple, said at a forum held in commemoration of the 30 th anniversary of TSMC," Moore's law is no longer valid " Did.


Moore's lawIs an empirical rule that "the density of semiconductor circuits doubles every 18 months (later modified to 24 months)" advocated by Intel founder Gordon Moore, the evolution of semiconductor technology is Moore It is known that it has evolved to follow the law of. Although Moore's Law, which semiconductor engineers have used as guidelines for development, it has been reported that the law does not hold in recent years due to the deadlock of miniaturization technology.

TSMC Top of a major company that manufactures semiconductor chips for mobile terminals such as smartphones advocates the limitation of Moore's Law is likely to have a great influence on the semiconductor industry. Although Chang will continue to increase the integration density of semiconductor circuits, it is said that it will not be as pace as Moore's Law, and in 2025 the semiconductor miniaturization technology is expected to be a major technical barrier. In addition, only in the world,Extreme ultraviolet lithographyPetr Wenic, CEO of ASML, which provides semiconductor manufacturing equipment that puts practical use of EUV technology, has already established a roadmap for technological development through 2030.

By the way, Intel, the original Moore's law family, has caused a significant delay in the development of the 10 nm process rule and has announced repeated delays.

"The provision of Intel 's process rules is strict, TSMC and Samsung' s" 10 nm process "is an integration density equivalent to Intel 's" 14 nm process "AssertionIntel was keen to say "to release the true 10 nm process adoption chip within 2017", but the release of 10 nm process adopted productsDelayed until the first half of 2018 due to the third delayIt is reported that.
