Abstract:
We report Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2, the latest Qualcomm® 5 G integrated mobile SoC flagship platform, in mass production with the most advanced 4nm EUV FinFET technology. Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 \mathrm{w} 4 \mathrm{~nm} process had 20 \% chip area scaling and \sim 20 \% RO performance gain vs previous 5 \mathrm{~nm} process used in Snapdragon® 888 production. Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 exhibits 25% & 100% performance gain @power in CPU & GPU respectively and \gt 20 \% better battery life over Snapdragon® 888 driven by both process improvements and design optimization. This high performance and low power SOC platform enable its application in both mobile and computing/gaming/AI. The 2^{\text {nd}} year 4 \mathrm{~nm} process demonstrated RO performance +4 \% gain and BEOL Via Rc \gt 20 \% reduction, no yield degradation confirmed its readiness for next generation Snapdragon productization
