5G Connectivity

5G supports a massive amount of data traffic with substantial bandwidth and lower latency. The 5G spectrum ranges from sub-6GHz to mmWave, supporting a wide variety of applications.

RF architecture is evolving to accommodate high performance computing's power and footprint requirements

RF Technology for IoT

Wireless connectivity is essential for Internet of Things (IoT) integrated circuits to exchange information with cloud. There are many different wireless systems, with specific data rate, power consumption, and form factor requirements. TSMC provides a comprehensive and competitive portfolio of radio frequency (RF) technology options for a variety of IoT wireless connectivity applications. Features include:

Lower power RF technologies, such as 12nm FinFET compact plus radio frequency (12FFC+ RF) technology and 22nm ultra-low leakage (22ULL) RF for Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT), Long Term Evolution-Machine type connection Machine (LTE-M), Long Range Radio (LoRa), and Bluetooth.
High performance RF technologies, such as the advanced N6RF+ process, 16FFC FinFET compact (16FFC) RF, and 28nm high performance mobile compact plus (28HPC+) for WiFi, 4G/5G cellular, and 5G mmWave.
