TSMC Update 2012!

TSMC Update 2012!

TSMC has had an interesting year thus far. 28nm is ramped and will dominate the mobile market for years to come. 20nm is in development with tape outs scheduled for the end of this year. FinFETS are coming making it a very exciting time in the semiconductor ecosystem.

More recently, Renesas is the latest IDM to go fab-lite working with TSMC at 40nm and below. Clearly the demise of the fabless business model is greatly exaggerated. Clearly 28nm was harder than expected and 20nm will thin the IDM herd even more.

TSMC has a SemiWiki landing page HERE. As they say, you can tell a lot about a company by their DAC plan. While Intel and the Orcs are fantasizing the fall of the fabless business model, TSMC and their legions of EDA, IP, and fabless semiconductor partners march on towards the Fires of Mooredor. Get it? Moore’s Law? Fires of Mordor? My wife laughed out loud so the Hobbit reference plays..
