Samsung plans to make 2nm chips in USA to compete with TSMC

Samsung is building an advanced semiconductor chip plant in Taylor, Texas, in the USA. It spent billions on the plant and recently received $4.74 billion in incentives from the US government. It expects to start the mass production of chips at the plant in 2026 to compete with TSMC.

Samsung could make 2nm chips in Texas, USA

A new report claims that Samsung Foundry will start making advanced semiconductor chips at its Taylor plant in 2026. The company reportedly plans to make 2nm and 3nm chips at the plant. The company will bring in all the required equipment in early 2026 and start production before the end of that year.

In comparison, TSMC, Samsung's biggest rival, has already started making 4nm chips at its Arizona plant. By the end of this year, the Taiwanese firm will reportedly be ready to make 2nm and 3nm chips by the end of this year.

While Samsung Foundry plans to use the Gate All Around (GAA) technology for both 2nm and 3nm chips, TSMC will use the EUV technology for its 3nm process node and GAA for its 2nm process.

Even though it is a bit late compared to TSMC, the company plans to differentiate itself by using its ‘turnkey' service optimized for AI chips. Apparently, the company will provide all services under one roof, reducing the time required by fabless firms from development to production by 20%.

A few years ago, Samsung unveiled its Vision 2030 plan to become the world leader in semiconductor chips by 2030. However, it has faced several setbacks, partly due to its technologies and partly due to strategic failures and political situations.

Analysts say that Samsung Foundry will have a better chance of surviving if it is spun off from Samsung Electronics. However, Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jay-yong noted a few months ago that the company would not spin off its foundry division.
