The Korean division of Samsung Foundry spoke about new plans for advanced chip manufacturing processes. It is one of the world’s largest contract manufacturers of semiconductor products along with TSMC, capable of producing chips using advanced technologies. At the beginning of this year, Samsung announced the start of 3nm chip production, which allowed it to get ahead of its competitor TSMC, which was supposed to begin mass production of 3nm processors only in the second half of this year. However, Samsung has gone even further and is already preparing its production lines for the production of 2nm and 1.4nm products.
During an event in the United States, representatives of the South Korean giant said they were going to start mass production of chips using 2nm technology by 2025, and 1.4nm by 2027. In addition, the company’s new strategy will make it easy to scale production to meet potential increases in demand. According to the new schedule, Samsung is on par with TSMC, which also plans to launch 2nm production in 2025. The Taiwanese company announced its plans in September.
Samsung’s success in chip manufacturing has been often criticized in recent times as various problems were constantly reported in the media, which ultimately led to a reshuffle in the company’s management. Now things seem to be getting better. If we talk about technology, then the developments of Samsung and TSMC are very similar. The Korean company uses GAAFET, a circular gate transistor, for its 3nm chips, and TSMC also plans to switch to similar transistors with its 2nm process technology. By then, the Taiwanese company will switch to the new generation High NA lithographic scanners from the Dutch company ASML.
