TSMC Unleashes Aggressive 28nm Strategy!

The most interesting presentation at the jam-packed TSMC Symposium last week for me was “Advanced Technology Updates" by Dr. BJ Woo. Coincidentally, I met with BJ during my last visit to Fab 12. Much of what we discussed was about TSMC being more aggressive this year but I wasn’t able to really connect the dots until her presentation. The example I will use here is 28nm but it certainly applies to all of the TSMC process nodes moving forward.

First let me tell you that BJ is engaging and a very credible semiconductor executive. She spent the majority of her 30 year career at Intel in Santa Clara designing both DRAM and microprocessors (she has 13 patents). In 2009 BJ joined TSMC taking responsibility for the advanced technology roadmap at 28nm and 20nm and today is Vice President of Business Development.
