The Korea division of Samsung Foundry has announced its new plans for advanced chip manufacturing processes. Together with TSMC, it is one of the world’s largest contract manufacturers of semiconductor products and can produce chips using advanced technologies. Earlier this year, Samsung announced that it has started chip production using the 3nm process, which allows it to surpass its rival in the person of TSMC, which is expected to start mass production of 3nm processors only in the second half of the year. this year. But Samsung has gone even further and is already preparing the production lines for the release of 2nm and 1.4nm products.

Representatives of the South Korean giant at the event held in the USA said that they will start mass production of chips using 2nm technology by 2025 and 1.4nm technology by 2027. In addition, the company’s new strategy will allow it to easily scale production to meet potential increases in demand. The new program puts Samsung 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 recently been criticized for several issues that have been repeatedly reported in the media, which ultimately led to a change in company management. Now, it seems, the situation is really improving. If we talk about technology, the development of Samsung and TSMC is very similar. The Korean company uses a GAAFET for its 3nm chips, a transistor with a horizontal channel arrangement and a circular gate, and TSMC plans to switch to similar transistors with the 2nm process. At that time, the Taiwanese company will switch to the next generation High NA lithographic scanners from the Dutch company ASML.
