Discard Intel, TSMC's $20 billion investment in 3nm process production

[PConline News] 2017 semiconductor manufacturing process has entered the 10nm node, Intel, Samsung, TSMC introduced a 10nm process this year, in 2018 will enter the 7nm node, here is the limit of the process can be quickly mass production of semiconductor manufacturers The next 5nm and 3nm technologies are still under development, which is the key to their success in the future. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. took the lead in publishing the future 3nm process plan. Instead of considering leaving the United States, it continued to build a 3nm process in Taiwan. It is expected that the entire investment plan will be as high as US$20 billion.

TSMC yesterday announced that after evaluation, their 3nm process will be located in Tainan South Park. However, the TSMC official did not disclose the details of the investment plan. Taiwan’s economic sector expects the entire 3nm process investment case to be at least NT$500 billion, and industry analysts believe that the 3nm node will use EUV lithography in large quantities and the total investment will be as high as 20 billion. The U.S. dollar will become the largest investment plan in the history of science and technology in Taiwan.

As for the 3nm process, it is estimated that the time for mass production will be after 2022 because TSMC's current progress is to mass-produce 7nm process in 2018, and the enhanced 7nm process will be available in 2019. The 5nm process is expected to be mass-produced in 2020, and only then will it be possible to To 3nm process.

Intel recently mentioned the development of 5nm and 3nm processes in Beijing's Fine Manufacturing Day Conference, but the official did not mention specific progress, so when the 3nm production is still a mystery, but it can be determined that Intel's 10nm The process will be mass-produced at the end of this year, and there will be three generations of 10nm processes, and the future 7nm is probably the same. Therefore, Intel's 3nm process will be a lot longer than the time, and the progress should be much later than TSMC.

Incremental Encoder

Incremental encoders provide speed, direction and relative position feedback by generating a stream of binary pulses proportional to the rotation of a motor or driven shaft. Lander offers both optical and magnetic incremental encoders in 4 mounting options: shafted with coupling, hollow-shaft, hub-shaft or bearingless. Single channel incremental encoders can measure speed which dual channel or quadrature encoders (AB) can interpret direction based on the phase relationship between the 2 channels. Indexed quadrature encoders (ABZ) are also available for homing location are startup.
