Built with a new type of gate-all-around transistor, plus extreme ultraviolet lithography.

In 2017, IBM revealed that they had created 5 nm silicon chips,[11] using silicon nanosheets in a gate-all-around configuration (GAAFET), a break from the usual FinFET design. 3 nm (3-nanometer) is the usual term for the next node after 5 nm. "IBM unveils world's first 5nm chip". Ars Technica.

The chip design uses three current-carrying channels for each transistor. Along with that, a stacked silicon nanosheet design is used in order to create another channel effectively. More channels lead to more current while transistors are on and rapid leakage while they are off - the formula of power and...

IBM has shown for the first time that its stacked nanosheet technology can outperform today's best FinFET nanometer chips. Chips based on IBM's nanosheet 5nm technology will offer 40 percent greater performance than today's 10nm chips, or a 75 percent power savings at the same performance.

IBM launches the 5nm GAAFET semiconductor chip with massive performance and power gains. While FinFET was the first to move towards a 3D node, with GAAFET, we now get a mix of FinFET and 2D. For GAAFET, each transistor consists of three nanosheets stacked on top of each other...

The world's first 7-nanometre chip was introduced in 2015 by IBM in a chip industry predominantly occupied by 10-nanometre and 14-nanometre chips. Along with the 7nm chips, a new approach to producing transistor chips came into existence - the extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV).

A 5-nanometer chip could perform about 40 percent faster than a 10-nanometer chip, given the same power settings, said Mukesh Khare, vice president of semiconductor technology research at IBM Research, in an interview with VentureBeat. Or a chip could be 75 percent more power efficient.
