Samsung 4nm is back? The news said that Samsung's 4nm process production capacity has been greatly improved, and many manufacturers have placed orders

Some time ago, Samsung announced that its own 3-nanometer process technology has reached the standard that can be mass-produced, but because the performance of Samsung's process on the two chips of Snapdragon 888 and Snapdragon 8Gen1 is not satisfactory, there are still many related institutions. Not optimistic about Samsung's process.

Therefore, according to previous media reports, Samsung has cooperated with Silicon Frontline Technology to improve the yield of its semiconductor chips in the production process, so as to catch up with other manufacturers in the 3-nanometer process.

According to the report, Samsung Electronics' advanced process yields are very low, and there have been yield problems since the 5nm process, and the situation has become worse on the 4nm and 3nm processes.

It is rumored that the yield of Samsung's 3nm solution process has not exceeded 20% since mass production, and the mass production progress has fallen into a bottleneck. Samsung currently has production-related problems at the 4nm and 5nm process nodes, and the company does not want this problem to occur again on the 3nm process. Therefore, it hopes to help Samsung fab improve front-end process and chip performance through cooperation with Silicon Frontline Technology.

However, according to the current relevant news, the improvement of the 3-nanometer process is still in progress, and the 4-nanometer process improvement has achieved initial results.
According to ifeng.com Technology, the yield of Samsung's 4-nanometer chip process has improved, approaching the level of 5 nanometers, and the next-generation 4-nanometer process will provide higher yields.

It is reported that Samsung Electronics launched 4nm chip technology last year, but due to the low yield, some customers switched to TSMC, including Qualcomm, which previously used Samsung's 4nm process to launch two flagship chips, and Samsung Electronics also had to Use the Snapdragon 8 chip in its Galaxy S22 phone instead of its own Exynos 2200 chip.

However, since the beginning of this year, through various improvements, Samsung Electronics has made certain progress in the 4-nanometer process, and the yield and production capacity have been improved.
According to Samsung Electronics on social media, the yield of its 4nm process is already close to the level of the 5nm process, and it is expected to improve further. "The next generation of 4nm process will provide more advanced yields." Samsung Electronics said.

Industry insiders believe that this is a rare disclosure of Samsung Electronics' chip yield details to the public, showing its confidence in its own technology.
As the quality and quantity of 4nm chips improve, Samsung Electronics has also begun to re-attract customer orders.

According to industry sources, American chip giant AMD has selected Samsung Electronics as its 4nm processor partner. In addition, Google will also commission Samsung Electronics to produce the Tensor 3 chip for its Pixel 8 smartphone, using Samsung Electronics' third-generation 4nm process.
It can be seen that after the adjustment, Samsung 4nm has won the order support of many manufacturers, and 3nm is also improving, but whether the chips produced by its new process can have the expected performance is still unknown, and interested partners can Keep an eye on it.
