Samsung, according to recent rumors, has decided to cancel production on the 1.4nm process technology, which was planned as a breakthrough in the semiconductor industry. This is reported by WccfTech, citing informant Jukanlosreve.
This decision may be due to the low production efficiency of the previous stages, in particular the 3nm GAA process, which is showing insufficient performance. Instead, the company will focus on improving the 2nm GAA process, which has already shown some progress with 30% wafer yield.
Samsung is looking to improve the quality of its current technologies to ensure stable production and attract new customers. The 2nm process is expected to be the basis for future products such as the Exynos 2600, which is scheduled to begin production in May. Meanwhile, competitors such as TSMC are showing much better results, including 60% wafer yield in 2nm production.
This decision may affect Samsung's competitiveness in high-performance computing and artificial intelligence, but the company hopes to strengthen its position by improving existing technologies.
