Locally in Taiwan, there’s growing suspicion that the 2nm process technology was leaked to Japan’s Rapidus.
People are questioning whether the technology was leaked to Rapidus through Japanese equipment suppliers.
- AnonMO 1y agomake no sense since Rapidus 2nm process is from IBM.
- tonyhart7 1y agoidk which shocking, Japanese company try to steal TSMC or IBM have 2nm process out of nowhere
- speed_spread 1y ago"Out of nowhere" would be a stretch. IBM may not have mass-market volume anymore but they kept up the production chain to build mainframes (and I would guess other "specialty" products) for institutional customers.

- protimewaster 1y agoIBM has been publicly working toward 2nm since at least 2021, though, so it doesn't seem like it's coming from nowhere. Unless this is a completely different 2nm development, here's a presser about it from 2021, titled "Introducing the world's first 2 nm node chip" (https://research.ibm.com/blog/2-nm-chip https://research.ibm.com/blog/2-nm-chip)
- trynumber9 1y agoIBM has kept researching in Albany. They license manufacturing technology to other parties even if they gave up trying to build their own fabrication facilities a decade ago.
- re-thc 1y ago> since Rapidus 2nm process is from IBM Unless it has great yields with 0 issues, there's always things to learn from. It's also possible the IBM process isn't what it seems and there's more to it.
