Samsung Tsmc Struggling To Ramp Up 3Nm Production
Samsung began 3nm production in June this year. The company is using a new transistor architecture for its most advanced semiconductors yet. Called Gate-All-Around, aka GAA, this tech allows for denser packaging of transistors for a smaller footprint. It also brings performance and power improvements over the FinFET (Fin field-effect transistor) architecture employed by Samsung’s 4nm or bigger solutions. However, several months into the production, Samsung is still not getting huge orders for 3nm chips....
