ProteanTecs, a global leader in semiconductor health and performance analytics, announced today that its IP‑based health and performance monitoring technology has been silicon‑proven at TSMC’s industry‑leading 2nm (N2P) process node. The validation confirms that the technology can accurately detect and diagnose manufacturing defects and performance variations at the cutting‑edge 2nm scale. This milestone demonstrates the robustness of both the analytics platform and TSMC’s advanced process capability.
The partnership leverages TSMC’s 2nm (N2P) process, which is slated for volume production in the second half of 2025, and provides a critical tool for yield optimization and time‑to‑market acceleration. By integrating proteanTecs’ monitoring IP, TSMC can enhance defect detection, reduce rework, and improve overall wafer yield for its customers. The collaboration also positions TSMC to offer higher confidence in its advanced nodes to AI and HPC customers demanding the highest performance and reliability.
This announcement marks a significant step in TSMC’s ongoing effort to maintain its technological leadership and support the growing demand for next‑generation chips. The silicon‑proven validation underscores the maturity of the 2nm process and the effectiveness of third‑party analytics in ensuring manufacturing excellence. For investors, the event signals continued investment in process innovation and potential cost efficiencies that could positively impact TSMC’s profitability in the near term.
