N6RF is an advanced radiofrequency technology that supports the 5G era. TSMC pointed out that compared to 4G, 5G smartphones require more silicon area and power consumption to obtain higher-speed wireless data transmission. 5G allows chips to integrate more functions and components. As the chip size increases, they Inside the smartphone, it is competing with the battery for limited space.

According to TSMC, the N6RF process provides significantly reduced power consumption and area for 5G RF transceivers below 6GHz and millimeter-wave bands, while taking into account the performance, features, and battery life required by consumers. It will also improve the performance and performance of WiFi 6/6e. Power consumption efficiency.
