It is reported that Samsung's second-generation 3nm process SF3 has started trial production, and strives to increase the yield to 60% within half a year

According to insiders, Samsung Electronics has begun to pilot produce its second generation 3nm process SF3. The company plans to increase the yield of this process to more than 60% in the next six months.

The first chip adopting Samsung SF3 technology will be an application processor specially designed for wearable devices, which is expected to be used for Galaxy Watch 7 and other products released later this year. At the same time, the company also plans to use this node for the Exynos 2500 chip on the Galaxy S25 series smartphones next year.

Samsung said that SF3 nodes can achieve different surround gates (GAA) in the same unit transistor Nanosheet channel width, providing greater design flexibility. This can also bring lower power consumption and higher performance to the chip, and increase transistor density through optimization design.

According to TrendForce data, TSMC accounted for 57.9% of the global wafer foundry market in the third quarter of last year. Samsung Electronics ranked second with a share of 12.4%, and the gap between the two companies exceeded 40 percentage points.
