According to a report, Samsung Electronics will mass-create its third-generation 4nm chips, the critical foundry ultra-micro fabrication process item. After resolving early yield issues, the Korean firm has improved performance, power usage, and area. Production should begin early this year.
Samsung’s new-generation SoC wafer yield at Hwaseong has increased. Samsung can now compete with TSMC and entice Qualcomm, which previously used TSMC’s 4nm systems.

According to the story, Samsung Electronics will mass-produce chips using a 4-nm 2.3-generation process in the first part of this year. The Korean tech titan revealed the mass production plan for its 4-nm follow-up in its March 12 business report. The second and third-generation 4-nm chips outperform the early SF4E in speed, power usage, and size.
Insiders say Samsung’s 4-nm method yields 60% valuable wafers, and this rate is lower than TSMC’s 70–80%. Experts say Samsung’s yield is increasing, and mass production of the follow-up version is rising.
Samsung Electronics has improved advanced production efficiency and yields. Samsung and TSMC should compete more in mass-producing ultra-micro assembly methods for 5-nm or more advanced chips.
