According to the latest report, the South Korean foundry has hit a progression barrier with its 2nm GAA technology.
Samsung's 2nm GAA yields are currently estimated in the mid-50 percent range, not 60 percent.
KEY POINTS
- Yield rates may drop to 40 percent after back-end processes, below the 70 percent customer benchmark.
- Samsung's 2nm GAA yields improved from 20 percent to mid-50 percent in less than a year.
- Despite yield issues, Samsung has secured chip orders from Tesla and Chinese crypto equipment makers.
- The Taylor plant in the U.S. will soon begin trial production, possibly using the 2nm GAA node.
