The bottom device of the chip is the mos tube, and the smaller the feature size, the smaller the mos tube is manufactured, which means the higher the integration of the chip. In the case of chips occupying the same area, more integrated chips can be inserted into more functional circuits. Therefore, the smaller the number of nanoparticles, the more advanced the product technology, and the greater the competitive advantage of the product in the same field.
The difference is that the chip gate width is different.
The difference between 5 nm and 14 nm is the difference between physical units, and in the chip industry, the nano process refers to the gate width of the silicon transistor, the smallest component of the chip, the smaller the gate width of the nano process, and the more silicon transistors in the unit area, the higher the chip performance. A 5-nanometer chip has about 15 billion transistors, while a 14-nanometer chip has about 3 billion transistors.
