The former coach of the New York Giants, Bill Parcells, once said"You are what your record says you are." Well, if you're Samsung Foundry that isn't good. TSMC is the world's leading foundry with a 65% market share and a star-studded client lineup that includes, Nvidia, MediaTek, Qualcomm, and even Intel to name a few.
Even though Samsung Foundry was the first to use Gate-all-around transistors with its 3nm node , Samsung Foundry hasn't seen much demand for its services at 3nm. GAA transistors use vertically placed horizontal nanosheets allowing the gate to cover the channel on all four sides. This reduces current leakage and improves the drive current resulting in chips with enhanced performance and better energy efficiency.
Samsung Foundry's main problem is its low yield which means not enough of the chips produced from silicon wafers are usable. This hikes the cost of the chips to clients since more wafers are required to produce the quantity of chips ordered. Samsung Foundry's 2nm yield has reportedly been in the 20%-30% area whilehas promoted Han Jin-man to president of its company-wide foundry business from his executive role related to Samsung's U.S. chip facilities.
