Fig. 2: TSMC A16 Super Power Rail. Source: TSMC. Figure 2 shows TSMC’s backside power delivery architecture, which uses a backside contact to the source. A comparison of Buried Power Rail, Power Via, ...

TSMC says that chips built on the new A16 process will provide an 8-10% speed improvement over N2P at the same voltage, with a 15-20% power reduction at the same speed and up to a 1.10X chip ...

Although 2nm N2 chips have GAA transistors, N2 lacks the new Super Power Rail architecture. TSMC is keeping its 2nm chip production in Taiwan, at least initially.

A16 will bring TSMC's sophisticated new backside power delivery technology, Super Power Rail. By Josh Gulick November 25, 2024 ...

TSMC says that it plans to have A14 in the volume production stage in 2028, while the enhanced version with the Super Power Rail BSPDN feature will show up the next year, in 2029. That's five ...

The A16 process will follow the company's 2nm node and feature nanosheet gate-all-around (GAA) transistors along with backside power delivery, which it calls Super Power Rail architecture. TSMC ...

A16 will follow in 2026, combining TSMC's Super Power Rail architecture with its nanosheet transistors. It improves logic density by dedicating front-side routing resources to signals, which ...

From 2028, TSMC is to manufacture chips with its second generation of nanosheet transistors. The version with a super power rail will be particularly exciting. The world's largest chip contract ...

The big innovation in the A16 generation will be backside power delivery, something TSMC calls “Super Power Rail.” This runs a network for power distribution on the back side of the silicon ...

TSMC A16™ Technology: With TSMC’s industry-leading N3E technology now in production, and N2 on track for production in the second half of 2025, TSMC debuted A16, the next technology on its roadmap.

Zhang has helped take the lead on new product announcements such as the A16 nodes and the Super Power Rail network. Prior to joining TSMC in 2016, he worked at Intel as the vice president of the ...
