Samsung to build 20nm foundry capacity, sources say Sep 24th 2013, 21:29, by Maximus Samsung Electronics plans to build up foundry capacity of 30,000 wafers operating at 20nm, signaling that it is joining rival TSMC in the process race, according to industry sources. Samsung has stepped up the development of its 20nm process node, and already shifted a portion of R&D resources from 14nm to 20nm, said the sources. Samsung is looking to start offering 20nm process technology in early 2014, the sources indicated. The sources did not identify how many options Samsung will offer at 20nm. The current yield rate of Samsung's 20nm is estimated to be as low as 10%, the sources noted. At TSMC, its 20nm facilities are operating at 20-30% yield rates, the sources said. TSMC has disclosed plans to initiate volume production of 20nm chips in early 2014. The foundry will offer only one process at the node. http://www.digitimes.com
