Summary

TSMC presents A14 NanoFlex Pro platform at IEDM with record SRAM density and PPA improvements over N2 technology, on track for volume production in 2028.

Abstract at IEDM website below<p>ABSTRACT<p>A14 NanoFlexTM Pro platform technology features the world’s smallest SRAM with a cell size &lt;0.017μm2 and highest SRAM macro density to date through dimensional ground rule scaling. Coupled with standard cell innovations, it delivers a full-node PPA improvement over the predecessor N2 technology for a 10~15% speed enhancement, a 25~30% power reduction and a chip density increase by ~20% driven by logic and SRAM scaling. Key features, such as TSV, innovative RDL that enables SoIC bond pitch of 4.5μm and high-performance MiM processes, have also been developed to accelerate the system-level integration and scaling for SoIC products. Supported by robust yield and device progress, A14 technology is on track for volume production in 2028.
