Samsung makes progress in the production of 2nm chips

According to the latest report, Samsung has demonstrated significant success in the development of next-generation semiconductor technologies. The company has achieved a 50% yield rate in the production of 2nm technology. Samsung is now aiming to increase this figure while simultaneously promoting its SF2P node, the second generation of 2nm GAA technology.

Compared to the first version, the SF2P process offers a number of improvements. Design Solution Partners (DSPs) have already been instructed to actively promote the second generation of 2nm GAA rather than the original version of the technology.

When Samsung announced the start of mass production of the Exynos 2600 chip in September 2025, the yield of 2nm GAA products was estimated at 50%, with a target of 70%. According to the latest data, the company has not yet improved this result, but it already significantly exceeds the performance of 3nm GAA technology, where the yield did not exceed 30%. Although the first generation of 2nm GAA is likely to show only gradual growth, Samsung is already shifting its focus to the second generation (SF2P). The company has completed the basic design of this node. In addition, work is underway on the third generation of 2nm GAA (SF2P+), which is estimated to be implemented within two years.

According to a source close to Samsung's plans, the main effort is now focused on developing SF2P technology — the basic design kit (PDK) was ready in the middle of last year. SF2P is expected to be used in the release of Exynos 2700 next year. This chipset should support modern standards, including LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0. In addition to Samsung's flagship SoCs, SF2P technology will also attract other major customers. In particular, Tesla plans to mass-produce its AI6 chip on this node. The companies previously signed a $16.5 billion agreement.
