Samsung has been "voicing the platform" for GAA transistors for a long time
In June 2021, Samsung was the first to announce that its 3nm process based on GAA technology had been successfully taped out. Then in October 2021, Samsung announced that it would lead TSMC to produce the 3nm GAA process in the first half of 2022. In April of this year, the yield rate of Samsung's 3nm process based on FGAMALL GAA transistors was only 10%-20%, far lower than expected, which means that the company needs to pay higher costs. In May of this year, news came out again in the industry that Samsung's 3nm yield problem has been resolved, and the 3nm GAA process will be mass-produced as scheduled. In June, Samsung's 3nm process has entered experimental mass production. However, just a few days later, the market reported that Samsung delayed the mass production of 3nm chips because the yield rate was far below the target. Recently, Samsung officially announced that chips based on the 3nm Gate-All-AroundT (GAA) process node have started mass production at its Hwaseo
