Sina Technology News Beijing time in the morning of May 23rd news, Samsung seems to want to contend for custom chip business in the hands of the platform, because Samsung announced that the company will soon start using 7 nanotechnology to manufacture processors.
Samsung is the world's largest chip maker. It says it will use new technology this year and batch production for customers next year. Although Samsung's time arrangement is similar to its competitors, Samsung believes that it is in the lead. For several years, although semiconductor companies want to move into the 7 nanoscale era, they are facing a lot of challenges and slow progress.
Last year, Samsung's chip sales exceeded Intel for the first time, becoming the new leader in memory industry. Now Samsung wants to catch up and create more chips for other companies. Apple, Qualcomm and some other technology giants design their own chips, and then give orders to TSMC and other enterprises, and the delivery of orders will focus on whether the factory's technology is advanced.
After nearly 50 years of development, the chip industry is in a dilemma, and it is becoming more and more difficult to reduce the width of the chip circuit. All the time, the manufacturers have improved their performance by means of such means. Extreme ultraviolet lithography technology brings new hope, but after nearly 10 years of efforts, manufacturers still can not make the technology perfect.
ASML Holding NV is the main supplier of EUV lithography machine, Samsung believes it has increased the production of equipment to the level of mass production. Samsung said on Tuesday that it now produces more than 1000 silicon discs per day using EUV machines. EUV can eliminate some production steps. Samsung executives believe that Samsung can go beyond its competitors because it can be produced with EUV technology.
