TOPCHIP ELECTRONICS, as an agent distributor of Samsung Semiconductor, is necessary to understand the latest developments of Samsung Semiconductor. The following is the latest developments of Samsung Semiconductor:
At the recent 7th Samsung Foundry Forum in San Jose, California, Samsung unveiled its plans to initiate mass production of 2nm chips for mobile applications in 2025. This advanced technology aims to significantly enhance performance, positioning Samsung on par with TSMC, which also targets a 2nm process by 2025. Intel and Japan's Rapidus are expected to offer 2nm chip production, though no specific timeline is in place.
Samsung plans to extend 2nm chips production for HPC applications in 2026 and automotive applications in 2027 while preparing to produce 1.4nm chips by 2027. Samsung's 2nm process claims to improve performance by 12%, power efficiency by 25%, and reduce size by 5% compared to the 3nm chips it started manufacturing last year.
With the industry approaching the limit of Moore's Law, wafer foundry prices are unlikely to decline significantly. Samsung's key to competitiveness may depend on price advantages, given that TSMC's foundry price per 2nm process wafer could be around $25,000 from 2025.
In pursuit of innovative technologies, Samsung will begin offering foundry services for gallium nitride (GaN)-based 8-inch power semiconductors for consumer, data center, and automotive applications from 2025. Additionally, Samsung is developing 5nm radio frequency (RF) chips expected to launch in early 2025, offering a 40% increase in power efficiency and a 50% reduction in size compared to the 14nm process.
According to Dr. Siyoung Choi, President and Head of Samsung Foundry, their technology innovations support AI-enabled applications to meet customer needs, emphasizing customer success as the core value of their OEM service.
