In semiconductor manufacturing, the 2 nm process is the next MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor) die shrink after the 3 nm process node.. The term "2 nanometer", or alternatively "20 angstrom" (a term used by Intel), has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch) of the transistors.
Apple A12 and Huawei Kirin 980 mobile processors, both released in 2018, use 7 nm chips manufactured by TSMC. [127] AMD began using TSMC 7 nm starting with the Vega 20 GPU in November 2018, [128] with Zen 2-based CPUs and APUs from July 2019, [129] and for both PlayStation 5 [130] and Xbox Series X/S [131] consoles' APUs, released both in ...
The transistor count is the number of transistors in an electronic device (typically on a single substrate or silicon die).It is the most common measure of integrated circuit complexity (although the majority of transistors in modern microprocessors are contained in cache memories, which consist mostly of the same memory cell circuits replicated many times).

When Intel gave its "analyst day" presentation on Nov. 21, 2013, Intel showed a chart that confirmed the company means pretty serious business in both transistor leadership and metal stack density ...
For example, Mentor Graphics uses Standard Verification Rule Format (SVRF) language in their DRC rules files and Magma Design Automation is using Tcl-based language. [3] A set of rules for a particular process is referred to as a run-set, rule deck, or just a deck. DRC is a very computationally intense task. [4]
The company believed this transistor density would be four times that of the then-current 14 nm chips. [83] Samsung and TSMC plan to manufacture 3 nm GAAFET nodes by 2021–2022. [84] [85] Note that node names, such as 3 nm, have no relation to the physical size of device elements (transistors).
Wafer testing is a step performed during semiconductor device fabrication after back end of line (BEOL) and before IC packaging.. Two types of testing are typically done. Very basic wafer parametric tests (WPT) are performed at a few locations on each wafer to ensure the wafer fabrication process has been carried out successfully.
