Samsung 4nm chip manufacturing defect rate drops below 25%
Samsung plans to regain the Qualcomm and NVIDIA customers by decreasing the trash rate of 4 nm below 25%. Before, Samsung’s contract manufacturing business became a failure because it failed to begin mass production; in turn, things became sluggish to expand the process yield to 10nm. This resulted in the shift of important clients who offered the great cost of orders to TSMC(Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.). Furthermore, Samsung’s major rivals in the electronics business, Apple and Qualcomm, have grown much harder to sell to.
A recent refinement in the production process for 4nm chips by Samsung Electronics’ semiconductor business led to a semiconductor yield of over 75%. According to the experts, this will assist Samsung in increasing the number of significant clients for bespoke chip fabrication services. “There is a possibility that Qualcomm and NVIDIA will again outsource chip production to Samsung Electronics Foundry,” states the reports from The Hi Investment & Securities.

By this year, the failure rate for Samsung Electronics will fall to below 25% for 4 nm process technology and below 40% for 3 nm process technology, as predicted by industry analysts. Samsungs’ main aim is to win back some of the clients that switched to TSMC earlier. While analyzing the activities of TSMC, the new manufacturing investment and production capacity of the firm were, respectively, 3.4 and 3.3 times greater than those of Samsung Electronics Foundry last year. TSMC holds a market share of 45% for technological processes down to 7nm.
Furthermore, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has increased its manufacturing prices and is expected to follow the same in the future. As a result of this, giant firms like Qualcomm and NVIDIA are rumored to be searching for methods to diversify their orders.
