Samsung’s chip-to-order manufacturing business said Tuesday it plans to more than triple its advanced chip production capacity by 2027 to meet strong demand despite current global economic headwinds. announced.
The world’s second-largest foundry after Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) aims to mass-produce advanced 2-nanometer technology his chips by 2025 and 1.4-nanometer chips by 2027. increase. Artificial intelligence must.
 new orders taken for next 2, 3 year and the prices reflects this year is more progressive, the Mun Soo Kang, Samsung Foundry Business Executive Vice President said.
Samsung, in June he began mass production of chips using 3-nanometer technology. The company is in talks with potential customers for a 3-nanometer collaboration, including Qualcomm, Tesla and AMD, he said.
The world’s largest memory chip maker, Samsung has been struggling in recent years to produce chips as per customers’ expectation.
Analysts say the company has pushed advanced technology too quickly to compete with TSMC, but has suffered from a lack of long-term customer collaboration experience necessary for contract manufacturing.
Samsung co-CEO Kyung Kye-hyun told reporters that his foundry business lags behind TSMC’s development plans and the performance of its 5 and 4-nanometer chips, but its customers are 3-nanometer. He said he will be interested in of the chip 2024 Manufactured.
“We responded to customer requests after 3 nanometer series production was approved this year,” he
added.
He said that despite current inflationary pressures, the long-term expansion of high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, 5G and 6G connectivity, and automotive applications will lead to the advancement of his 5-nanometer chips and finer chips. He pointed out that the demand is growing rapidly.
Even if all scheduled investments are accepted, the industry may have problem in meeting demand, he said.
