As 2026 approaches, Samsung's foundry business is set for a turning point, with significant progress made in its 2nm GAA process. The yield rate has risen to 60%, more than tripling from around 20% in the second half of last year, and is rapidly closing the gap with the 60% to 70% yield range achieved by global leaders. Samsung plans to complete the first tape-out of 2nm wafers at its Taylor factory in the U.S. by the end of 2026, with formal shipments to begin in 2027. Currently, Samsung's primary customers for its 2nm production line include its in-house System LSI division and mining chip companies such as Canaan and ViaBTC, with notable improvements in mining chip yields. Additionally, Samsung has secured a foundry contract for Tesla's next-generation autonomous driving chip, AI6, with a total contract value of $16.5 billion. Samsung also plans to attract major tech clients through a 'turnkey' solution combining 'advanced process + memory + advanced packaging,' while expanding customized collaborations with foundry partners in the logic chip sector.
