At the third Advanced Foundry Ecosystem Forum on November 20, 2021, Samsung unveiled several design tools and technologies that are related to the 3nm chip manufacturing process and help strengthen the foundry ecosystem strategy.

The company announced that over 80 electronic design automation tools, including design infrastructure optimized for 3nm GAA structure scheduled for mass production in the first half of 2022, 2.5D/3D package design solutions, and AI-based EDA for systematically managing and analyzing design data Acquired tools and technology.

Adding to this, the design time was shortened by introducing new technologies such as computing methods using GPUs. At the same time, Samsung also talked about its expansion in high-performance computing (HPC), AI, EDA, cloud computing, packaging solutions, and design solution partners (DSP) ) and other areas.

Sang-hyeon Lee, executive vice president of design platform development at Samsung Electronics’ Foundry Division said that “The transition to a data-centric era is accelerating, and the Samsung Electronics ecosystem is also developing to respond to increasing customer demands.”

Apart from this, the Korean tech giant has also unveiled some of its achievements through cooperation with non-factory companies. The chip manufacturer is working with 12 global design solutions partners to develop high-performance, low-energy semiconductor designs for its factory-less customers.

Arm CEO, Simon Segars said,

“Our multi-year collaboration with Samsung Foundry is instrumental in expanding business opportunities through Arm’s partner ecosystem. The close cooperation between the two companies has helped optimize the next-generation Arm v9 processor utilizing Samsung’s cutting-edge processes such as GAA, which has played a major role in providing the highest level of future technology. The two companies will unlock new opportunities across HPC, automotive, and AI IoT, while minimizing design complexity to accelerate customers’ time to market.”

Samsung Battery Packs

Samsung has unveiled two new battery packs with powerful performance using recycled materials. The launch, scheduled for the 19th, introduces the PD Battery Pack 20,000 mAh and the PD Wireless Charging Battery Pack 10,000 mAh. Both of these battery incorporate 30% UL-certified recycled plastic in their design, marking a stride in reducing carbon emissions.

The ‘PD Battery Pack 20,000 mAh’ offers a high capacity for charging, with a maximum output of 45W and three USB-C ports, allowing for simultaneously charging multiple devices. However, the actual charging speed may vary based on several factors, including the devices connected and charging conditions.

On the other hand, the ‘PD Wireless Charging Battery Pack 10,000 mAh’ provides the convenience of wireless charging, along with a wired charging capability of up to 25W. It comes with two USB-C ports, making it possible to charge up to three devices at once when combining wired and wireless charging.

Both battery packs comply with the USB PD 3.0 standard, ensuring quick and efficient charging for Samsung Galaxy products and other compatible devices.

Samsung LPDDR5X DRAM

The LPDDR6 market is expected to bloom as early as next year, as the new on-device AI memory is on the way with the latest LPDDR6 standard finalization taking place in Q3 2024. If the standard is confirmed in the third quarter, LPDDR will secure a new standard for the first time in five years.

Going toward the details, the International Semiconductor Standard Organization (JEDEC) recently held discussions on the next-generation mobile RAM standard. The meeting proceeded with the finalization process to finalize the LPDDR6 standard.

An official in the semiconductor industry said,

  • “We have held various discussions to confirm the LPDDR6 standard specification,” and it will be released in the third quarter of this year.”

To be mentioned, the JEDEC is a private organization that establishes semiconductor standards, that is, sizes and specifications, and more than 60 people from memory, system semiconductor, and design asset (IP) companies participated in this Lisbon meeting.

Furthermore, the LPDDR6 standard will be established with a focus on improving data processing performance as the demand for on-device AI to perform large-scale AI calculations on smartphones, laptops, and tablet PCs is rapidly increasing. In addition, the power consumption standard will also be improved.

However, once the LPDDR6 standard is confirmed, major memory manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are expected to begin commercializing their products in earnest.
