IBM Introduces World's First 0.7 nm Chip, Targets Next Decade of Semiconductor Scaling
IBM has unveiled what it says is the world's first sub-1 nanometer (nm) chip technology, introducing a new transistor architecture that the company believes could extend semiconductor scaling for at least another decade.
The new semiconductor technology features a 0.7 nm (7 angstrom) process node and nearly 100 billion transistors on a chip roughly the size of a fingernail, which is almost double the transistor density of IBM's 2 nm chip unveiled in 2021.
According to IBM, the breakthrough is enabled by a new three-dimensional transistor architecture called Nanostack, designed to overcome the physical limitations of conventional chip scaling while improving computing performance and power efficiency.
"IBM's latest chip breakthrough marks a landmark moment in computing, pushing technology beyond the nanometer era to the scale of atoms. With our new nanostack architecture, we're not just making smaller transistors, we're reinventing how chips are built to deliver dramatically more power and...
