Samsung's semiconductor division Samsung Foundry said during the Samsung Foundry 2022 event that it will continue to improve its semiconductor chips to make them smaller, faster and more energy efficient. To this end, it announced its plans to produce 2 and 1,4nm chips.

But first, let's talk about the company's 3nm chips. A few months ago, it started producing the world's first 3nm chips (using the SF3E process) with GAA (Gate-All-Around) technology. From this technology, Samsung Foundry promises a major improvement in energy efficiency. From 2024, the company plans to produce the second generation of 3nm chips (SF3). These chips are supposed to have a fifth smaller transistors, which is supposed to further improve energy efficiency. A year later, the company plans to produce the third generation of 3nm chips (SF3P+).
As for 2nm chips, the Samsung Foundry wants to start producing them in 2025. As the first Samsung chips, they will feature Backside Power Delivery technology, which should improve their overall performance. Intel plans to add its version of this technology (called PowerVia) to its chips as early as 2024.

As for the 1,4nm chips, the Samsung Foundry plans to start producing them in 2027. At the moment, it is not known what improvements they will bring. In addition, the company announced that by 2027 it intends to triple its chip production capacity compared to this year.
