TSMC A14 Node to Break Eight Years of SRAM Scaling Stagnation

TSMC to bring back SRAM scaling with its A14 node

TSMC’s upcoming A14 node reportedly comes with a 20% SRAM scaling improvement over N2 TSMC’s recent lithography nodes have suffered from a major scaling issue. SRAM scaling has stagnated for years, with 5nm, 3nm, and 2nm all having a bit cell size of around 0.021 µm². Now, according to a report from ETNews, TSMC plans […]

TSMC A14 Node to Break Eight Years of SRAM Scaling Stagnation

TSMC, the world's largest and most advanced semiconductor manufacturer, has been grappling with stagnant progress in SRAM scaling for years. Since the launch of the N5 5 nm process in 2020, the size of the SRAM 6T bitcell has remained around 0.021 µm². While transistor density in logic elements has increased, memory has not seen similar advancements. However, with the introduction of the A14 node, set for production in 2028, TSMC's 6T SRAM bitce…
