Samsung Electronics is weighing the option of disbanding its dedicated research and development team for 1c DRAM, a crucial component in HBM4 (High - Bandwidth Memory 4), with the aim of redirecting resources towards ensuring the mass production of HBM4 within the current year. This strategic move is intended to fulfill NVIDIA's supply requirements. In the semiconductor industry, achieving a high yield rate is a key indicator of manufacturing efficiency and cost - effectiveness. However, at present, the yield rate of 1c DRAM has not yet reached the desired benchmarks. Despite this, company executives hold the view that gaining a swift foothold in the market is of greater urgency. Samsung has already secured internal approval for mass production and is now in the process of gearing up for sample production. This step is a critical precursor to full - scale mass production, as it allows the company to test and refine the manufacturing process, ensuring product quality and performance meet industry standards.
