Samsung will cut traditional nodes to support 3nm chip production

According to reports, Samsung is facing difficulties in manufacturing chips based on the 3nm process. Not because of technical setbacks, but because of a shortage of talent in the semiconductor field. Samsung Foundry does not seem to have enough R & D manpower to maintain 3nm-based chip manufacturing, and reports say Samsung has done some restructuring to alleviate these problems.
According to a media report on South Korea's naver, Samsung has reassigned some of its fab employees from traditional processes to 3nm processes (or lower). The company doesn't seem to have enough talent to support all nodes, so industry observers say Samsung has reassigned manpower for 130nm and 65nm foundry processes. However, this restructuring is not without cost. Recent reports say that Samsung is no longer accepting orders for chips based on 130nm and 65nm nodes from small and medium-sized fabless (specializing in semiconductor design). The good news for Samsung in terms of competition in semiconductors is that it is not the only chipmaker facing these problems. Semiconductor companies in the United States, Taiwan and the Chinese mainland are also struggling to recruit more employees. TSMC recently delayed the production of 3nm chips, probably for the same reason. Samsung did ship the first batch of 3nm chips last year, but the first batch was small. It is understood that the new Samsung Galaxy S23 series phones use 4nm-based chips, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and these chips are made by TSMC.
