The upcoming 2nm process will adopt a new multi-bridge channel field-effect transistor architecture, as opposed to the fin-type field-effect transistor architecture used in the 3nm and 5nm processes, which has the physical limitations of current control leakage caused by process shrinkage.
有別於3奈米與5奈米採用鰭式場效電晶體（FinFET）架構，會因製程微縮產生電流控制漏電的物理極限問題，台積電2奈米改採全新的多橋通道場效電晶體（MBCFET）架構。
