Samsung to start production of first 3nm soon

Competition in the semiconductor industry continues to gain momentum. Moving forward with its plans to start 3nm mass production in the first half of 2022, Samsung told its investors that commercial production will begin next week.

Its competition with TSMC will increase

With its new production technology, Samsung plans to make a first in the industry compared to the giant manufacturer TSMC, and will also be the first company to use versatile field-effect transistors (GAAFET). However, the new production technology, called MBCFET by the company and expected to operate below 0.75 V compared to the 7nm FinFET node, offers advantages such as up to 50 percent reduction in power consumption, 30 percent better performance and up to 45 percent space savings. will bring with it.

Reportedly MBCFET Having managed to improve the compatibility of FinFET with its FinFET production process and equipment, Samsung has managed to control the cost required for the new production technology. The company, which was in danger of losing important customers such as Qualcomm due to efficiency problems in 4nm production before, apparently plans to take the ropes again with 3nm production.
