Samsung started mass production of processors using the 14-nm FinFET process only recently, but it is already preparing for the future and starting to experiment with 10-nm technology, and as it says itself, even 5-nm technology is not a major problem for it. The company revealed these interesting facts at the ISSCC 2015 conference, where it presented prototypes of processors made using 10-nm technology, which it will use in the next few years. At the same time, Kinam Kim confirmed that Samsung will produce processors in the future using a process that is already on the verge of Moore's Law.
But it seems that there is nothing stopping Samsung from going beyond the limit set by Gordon Moore and making even smaller and more economical chips. The company has hinted that it may start producing processors using the 3,25-nm manufacturing process in the future. But the question remains what material it will use, since Intel has announced that it is no longer possible to use silicon below the 7-nm limit. That is why he plans to produce chips with the help of Indium-Gallium-Arsenide, better known by its abbreviation InGaAs. However, it can still use silicon with the current 14-nm FinFET process. The latter is used on the one hand in the production of pre chips Galaxy S6 and will also use it to produce pre chips iPhone 6s and Qualcomm. He plans to use processors made using the 10-nm process in IoT products, due to lower chip consumption. However, these devices will appear at the turn of 2016 and 2017.
