Samsung is actively working on maintaining its legacy as it has already started developing its 1nm process and is also aiming to start mass production after 2029.
Transparently, Samsung’s foundry division is going through a tough battle since it is struggling with its 3nm and 2nm processes, but it hasn’t given up and is still trying its best to come back in the game.
Previously, it was reported that the 1.4nm development is in the budding stage, aiming for yield improvements and cost reduction. Now, a new report revealed that the Korean tech giant has already started development of its 1nm process, and if the report comes true, then mass production will begin after 2029.
According to the Q4 2024 report, the market share gap between the TSMC, the largest semiconductor foundry, and Samsung, the second-largest semiconductor foundry, has widened. Now, to deal with the widened gap and stand strong against its rival, Samsung is desperately working on improving the yield rates.
A new report from a Korean outlet, Seadaily, stated that Samsung Semiconductor Research Institute recently started developing its cutting-edge 1nm process, which is called the dream semiconductor process.
Reportedly, the company has transferred a few researchers who participated in the development of the 2nm process to a project team for the future 1nm process. It will be interesting to see exactly what will happen and whether Samsung will lead the semiconductor market over TSMC.
