Jakarta (ANTARA) – Samsung Electronics Co. announced detailed plans for mass production of chips with the 2 nanometer (nm) process, in a sign of confidence in the technological prowess and a sign of continuing to boost foundry business or contract chip production.
The plan was announced at the annual Samsung Foundry Forum (SFF) in San Jose, California, on Tuesday (27/6) US time, where hundreds of customers and foundry business partners of Samsung attended the event to share the latest technology trends in the industry.
In this plan, Samsung will begin mass production of 2nm chips for mobile applications in 2025, for high-performance computing in 2026, and for automotive in 2027.
Samsung’s 2nm technology has shown a 12 percent increase in performance, a 25 percent increase in power efficiency, and a 5 percent decrease in area compared to the 3nm process, the company said.

Samsung, the world’s largest memory chip maker and the second largest foundry player, also said mass production of 1.4nm chips will start in 2027 as planned.
In June last year, the tech giant started mass production of 3nm semiconductors, which are built on Gate-All-Around (GAA) technology.
A month earlier, Samsung showcased its 3nm chip to United States President Joe Biden when he visited Samsung’s Pyeongtaek complex, the world’s largest semiconductor facility located about 70 kilometers south of Seoul.
At the time, Samsung already said that its 2nm process node was in the early stages of development, with mass production planned for 2025.

The South Korean technology company is competing with Taiwan’s TSMC, the world’s largest contract chip maker, to bring the most advanced and efficient chips to the mass market and to win over foundry customers, at a time when chips are increasingly important in highly advanced and complex technological functions, including intelligence. artificial.
During the SFF, Samsung also said it would start mass production of foundry products for mobile apps and more at its Pyeongtaek Line 3 (P3) Plant in the second half of this year, and plans to increase production capacity in the United States, with the Taylor plant due for completion by the end of this year. and operational in the second half of next year, according to the planned schedule.
