        Samsung Electronics held the Samsung Foundry Forum 2022 in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on Oct. 20, according to BusinessKorea.
        Jeong Ki-tae, vice president of technology development of the company's foundry business unit, said that Samsung Electronics has successfully mass-produced 3-nanometer chips based on GAA technology for the first time in the world this year, and compared with 5-nanometer chips, 3-nanometer chips consume 45 percent less power, improve performance by 23 percent and reduce area by 16 percent.
 
        Samsung Electronics also plans to spare no effort in expanding the production capacity of its chip foundry, which aims to more than triple its production capacity by 2027. To that end, the chipmaker is pursuing a "shell-first" strategy, which involves building a clean room first and then operating the facility flexibly as market demand arises. 
        "We are operating five plants in Korea and the U.S., and we have secured sites to build more than 10 plants," said Choi Si-young, president of Samsung Electronics' foundry business unit. 
        We understand that Samsung Electronics plans to launch its second-generation 3nm process in 2023, start mass production of 2nm in 2025, and launch its 1.4nm process in 2027, a technology roadmap first disclosed by Samsung on October 3 (local time) in San Francisco.
