Samsung unveiled its updated fabrication technology roadmap at its annual Samsung Foundry Forum (SFF) 2023. The company is on track to produce chips on its its 2nm and 1.4nm-class nodes in 2025 and 2027, respectively. In addition, the company intends to add a leading-edge 5nm-class radio frequency manufacturing process and start making GaN chips in the coming years.
Samsung expects its SF2 (2nm-class) fabrication technology to provide a 25% higher power efficiency (at the same frequency and transistor count), a 12% higher performance (at the same power and complexity), and a 5% decrease in area (at the same transistor count) when compared to SF3 (2nd Generation 3nm-class), the company revealed at SFF 2023. The company will start making mobile SoCs on 2nm node in 2025 and in follow up with HPC-enhanced SF2P node in 2026. Meanwhile, SF1.4 (1.4nm-class) manufacturing process is projected to be available to Samsung's customers in 2027.
