In the competitive landscape of the semiconductor industry, Samsung and TSMC are leading the charge towards mass production of 2-nanometer technology wafers. Meanwhile, Japan's Rapidus, aiming to bridge the gap with these industry pioneers, has announced a significant milestone despite its planned mass production timeline trailing by a year. The company has commenced trial production of 200 pieces of 2-nanometer Gate-All-Around (GAA) wafers and proudly declared the completion of its factory construction. This development underscores Rapidus's commitment to narrowing the technological gap with the industry leaders.
