During the Samsung Foundry Forum (SFF) in Santa Clara, California, Samsung introduced its 2nm process technology named SF2Z and 4nm process technology SF4U, disclosed progress on the upcoming 1.4nm process technology anticipated for production in 2027. Samsung's roadmap includes various 2nm derivative designs, with plans to enter volume production in 2025 for mobile processor wafer production, branching out in 2026 for high-performance computing and artificial intelligence with SF2X, and for automotive processors with SF2A in 2027. By incorporating backside power delivery networks, SF2Z addresses signal power issues aiming for volume production in 2027, while SF4U is a derivative design of the existing 4nm process technology enhancing power, efficiency, and area utilization through optical scaling technology, slated for production in 2025. Samsung also intends to improve its process design with Gate-All-Around (GAA) technology and apply Common Photonic Package (CPO) technology for chips with high-speed, low-power computing capabilities, meeting the rising demand for AI computing applications, as competition like TSMC and Intel progress towards 2nm and 1.8nm process technologies, respectively, by 2025.
