TSMC's A14 node packs the world's smallest SRAM and heads for 2028 production
TSMC revealing details about next gen A14 node
At IEEE IEDM 2026, TSMC presented its A14 CMOS NanoFlex Pro platform, featuring the world's smallest SRAM cell at under 0.017μm² and the highest macro density to date. The node delivers a full-node PPA gain over N2: 10–15% more speed, 25–30% lower power, and about 20% higher chip density. New TSV, RDL for 4.5μm SoIC bonding, and high-performance MiM processes support system-level integration. Volume production is on track for 2028.
A14 technology is on track for volume production in 2028.

Chip density increase is slowing down. Since N10, density scaling has been 60-80%. N3 to N2 is only 20%. And now N2 to A14 is also only 20%.

I can’t believe we’re talking Angstroms already.

Not sure what this source is, but it looks sketchy.

In simpler terms, the SRAM density improved by 2.9% (according to ChatGPT). Which is better than it sounds, because SRAM had reached a wall, in terms of density gains, and, chips can be dominated by SRAM in terms of surface area, so this can mean a lot more room for logic, even though that is also getting considerably denser.

Come on we're in the 21st century, UTF-8 is pervasive. Just call it "Å14" node.
