Samsung preps 2nm GAA tech for mass production
Samsung will reveal the third-gen GAA applied in the 2nm (SF2) process at the VLSI Symposium 2024 BusinessKorea reports. The company will likely commence mass production based on its next-gen (2nm) fabrication process next year.
High production costs and economic downturn benefitted TSMC in 3nm products. Apple’s latest chip is fabricated on a 3 nanometer process node, while the latest Snapdragon chips still utilize 4nm tech. Meanwhile, Samsung aims for third-gen GAA to apply in the 2nm process.
Well, Taiwan’s TSMC is also targeting GAA technology for 2nm products. Faster adoption and production are expected to push Samsung Foundry to gain clients. Competitive pricing would also benefit it bringing back consumers like Qualcomm for Snapdragon.
Samsung GAA
Samsung’s GAA is a next-gen transistor technology, which regulates and amplifies or switches off the flow of current within a semiconductor. It features a redesigned transistor architecture to overcome problems like current flow in smaller semiconductors to improve power efficiency.

Lee’s secret mission: Samsung poaches ZEISS for chipmaking supremacy
Samsung Boss Lee fled Germany to discuss potential partnerships with ZEISS. The official toured to ZEISS headquarters in Oberkochen and discussed cooperation in the nanometer processes field.
Per the announcement, Samsung plans to lead the sub 3nm ultra-fine process in the foundry market and start mass production of 6th-generation, 10-nanometer DRAMs using EUV processes by the end of the year.
This news comes right after TSMC revealed its roadmap of production on the 1.6nm process. The Korean tech giant is confident that its Gate-All-Around (GAA) tech will make it the market leader in the 2nm process.
“Collaboration with ZEISS will enable us to improve the performance and production processes of next-generation semiconductors and increase yield,” Samsung Electronics said.
Galaxy Camera x ZEISS
ZEISS-branded camera come in vivo smartphones, hence, this collaboration is unlikely as Samsung doesn’t want any other branding for Galaxy’s camera. The company uses ISOCELL and Sony image sensors in Galaxy devices.
Previously, it was rumored that Samsung considering collaborating with Olympus. However, we haven’t seen any further development in the story and the company’s plans on promoting camera with unique branding.
Lee’s visit to ZEISS is all about partnership in process technology. Samsung Foundry is looking to attract clients as it already left behind TSMC in the market as well as losing consumers like Qualcomm.
