Samsung has officially started its work on the 1nm process in semiconductor production. The company plans to establish a special team in line with this goal and produce its first 1nm chips by 2029. While this development reveals the company’s goal of being a pioneer in the technology race, it also heralded a new era in the sector.
Samsung has started preparations for the 1nm chip production process
According to Sedaily’s news; the transition to the 1nm process will be a stage that requires not only engineering but also huge investment. The most important technology that Samsung plans to use in this process is High-NA EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography systems. However, so far, there is no official information that orders have been placed for this equipment.
With these developments, the 1.4nm process, which was previously on the roadmap, seems to have been largely suspended. Samsung’s directing its resources and manpower to the 2nm and 1nm processes indicates that this process has been shelved.
Amazon officially introduced its new audio model Nova Sonic. This move had a great echo in the artificial intelligence industry.
The company’s 2nm process trial production has currently reached around 30% efficiency. While this rate is an improvement over the 3nm process, it still falls short of the high levels achieved by TSMC.
Even if Samsung successfully develops its 1nm technology, it is estimated that the transition to mass production will take a long time. So what do you think about this? Do you think Samsung will be able to continue its rise in the semiconductor sector? You can share your views with us in the comments section below.
