TSMC’s industry-leading 28nm process uses high-k metal gate (HKMG), gate-last technology. The 28nm high-performance compact plus (28HPC+) technology features high performance and low power advantages, plus a seamless design ecosystem. It supports a wide range of applications, including digital consumer electronics, home entertainment, and the Internet of Things.

The 22nm ultra-low power (22ULP) process is based on TSMC’s 28nm technology. 22ULP provides 10% area reduction, with more than 10% speed gain, or more than 20% power reduction, compared to the 28HPC+, making it ideal for applications such as digital TVs, set-top boxes, smartphones, image processing, edge AI, and consumer products.
