The 7nm process was pioneered by Intel, the US chipmaker. Intel introduced its first 7nm chip in early 2018, but the launch has been repeatedly delayed due to technical and capacity issues encountered during manufacturing. As of now, Intel's 7-nanometer chip has not been officially launched.

As technology continues to advance and competition intensifies, other chip manufacturers such as TSMC, Samsung, and GlobalFoundries have also introduced their own 7nm processes. Among them, TSMC's 7-nanometer process is the most mature one on the market at present, and has been applied to the manufacturing of a number of mobile phone chips and server processors.
The 7nm technology was developed by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). TSMC is one of the world's leading semiconductor manufacturing companies with extensive experience in the development and production of advanced chip technologies. 7nm technology is an advanced process technology that enables higher integration and lower power consumption on the chip. Through precision process control and material innovation, TSMC has successfully promoted the development of 7nm technology and provided more powerful chip solutions for a variety of applications worldwide.
The 7nm technology is the result of joint research by researchers in several countries and regions around the world, including China.
Globally, many companies and research institutions are competing to develop 7nm technology, such as Intel, TSMC, Samsung and others. Therefore, it is not possible to identify a specific research institution or individual as the sole developer of 7nm technology.
