Now, Samsung aims at starting the mature production capacity of the advanced sub-3-nm fabrication process in the first half of the year 2022. Previous business report 2021 indicates that it is considering expanding its maturity node capacity, looking at the midterm and long-term demand. As they are expected to continue and stay strong this year.
Further Samsung added that it is taking steps to sharpen its product competitiveness and is closely working on building new fabrications, by doing a timely investment in the foundry market to chase its competitors. Talking about Samsungs facility investment which has reached 48.22 trillion won and had increased the percentage production to 25.3 percent just a year ago.
The Korean tech giant is enthusiastically working on the Fin field-effect transistors, a 17-nm fabrication, and trying for the production of new image sensors and mobile display driving integrated chips that are presently existing on a 28-nm flat substrate.
Samsung Electronics is presently focused on developing advanced process technology leaving behind those traditional practices which were used earlier in chip manufacturing.
To be mentioned, Samsung accounts for about 40% share of the global market in 10-nm chip manufacturing, and still, Samsung is trying to narrow its gap with a chip-making company such as TSMC.
However, TSMC is considered to be the most advanced in microfabrication, but till 2026 Samsung is securely planning to grab 300 foundry customers and triple its production while keeping 2017 as its base year. Already in the process to start the volume production of 2-nm, third-gen Gate-all-around (GAA) based semiconductor chip.
