Samsung completed 7 nm process manufacturing technology as soon as possible, expecting to improve smartphone speed & battery possession with mass production ahead of schedule

The Seoul economic newspaper reported that Samsung completed the development of the 7 nm process rule semiconductor manufacturing technology. Initially, production based on 7 nm process was aimed at completion in the second half of 2018, but completed half a year earlier. With this, the release of chips for high-speed & low-power smartphones adopting a new process within 2018 is becoming rich.

SamsungExtreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV)It is said that the semiconductor manufacturing technology of the 7 nm process adopting the technology was completed half a year after the original plan was completed. Mass production of semiconductors using this technology is expected to begin in the second half of 2018. According to the Seoul Economic Newspaper, Qualcomm, a leading chip manufacturer for mobile, is preparing to send a sample of the new SoC to Samsung, and the mass production and introduction of the new SoC "Snapdragon 855" will become reality within 2018 I am coming.


In the 7 nm process, it is planned to reduce the chip area by 40%, increase computing performance by 10%, improve power efficiency by 35%, compared with the 10 nm process which is the main stream of the current high-end SoC manufacturing. Process rule shrank to 10 nmSnapdragon 835, The remarkable improvement that the battery life is drastically extended along with the high speed is realized, so the new SoC based on the 7 nm process is expected to further improve the performance of mobile terminals such as smartphones.

Samsung catches up TSMC, Taiwan's semiconductor manufacturing foundary of the previous rival in manufacturing at the 7 nm process, has already started to develop the manufacturing technology of 5 nm process to further overtake, and is planning production in 2020 And that. The Seoul economic newspaper says that it is aiming at the top of the industry of SoC manufacturing by surpassing TSMC by overwhelming technical power and production capacity, which is competing in semiconductor development speed which dominated the memory market in the world of processor manufacturing.
