According to digitimes reports, industry sources revealed that TSMC and Samsung have encountered different but critical bottlenecks in the development of their respective 3nm process technologies.

According to reports, TSMC and Samsung will therefore have to postpone the development progress of the 3nm process technology.

TSMC Chairman Liu Deyin previously stated that TSMC’s revenue this year has continued to record highs, leading the layout of 3nm, and its cumulative investment in Nanke will exceed NT$2 trillion (the same below). The goal is to produce 12-inch wafers in 3nm mass production The monthly production capacity exceeds 600,000 pieces. TSMC plans to mass produce 3nm in 2022.

And Samsung is also fully developing its foundry business, planning to invest US$116 billion, and target mass production of the 3-nanometer process in 2022. It is the closest to the two powerhouses in the advanced process competition in recent years.
