‘s foundry business has been facing difficulties attracting customers for their latest chip manufacturing processes . Despite this challenge, they are actively forging ahead with development of even more advanced technology, including the 2nm process.process will utilize next-generation gate-around transistor technology, which is expected to be mass produced in 2025. Samsung will be showcasing this technology at upcoming industry conferences.
GAA itself is a new transistor design that improves efficiency and performance by allowing for better current flow. Samsung first introduced GAA technology in theirprocessors have taken advantage of it. Compared to 5nm chips, the first-generation 3nm GAA chip offers significant improvements in area reduction, performance, and energy efficiency.
Looking ahead, Samsung plans to mass produce chips using the second-generation 3nm GAA technology later in 2024. This technology is expected to offer even greater advancements.
