Foundry & Logic

South KoreaGeopoliticalAdvanced Node (<7nm)

Samsung Foundry, a business unit of Samsung Electronics' Device Solutions Division, provides advanced logic semiconductor fabrication services to internal divisions (e.g., System LSI, Mobile) and external fabless customers. It implemented Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistor architecture at the 3nm node, with SF3 (3GAA) entering production in mid-2024. Foundry market share was reported at ~13-15% in Q2 2024, ranking second behind TSMC per some sources; latest quarterly data requires verification from industry reports (e.g., TrendForce, Counterpoint).

EUV Lithography

ASML remains the sole global supplier of EUV lithography systems. Standard EUV (0.33 NA) is essential for 7nm through 3nm nodes, while the transition to High-NA EUV (0.55 NA) is now the critical path for sub-2nm production. Despite capacity expansion targets of 90 standard units and 20 High-NA units by 2025-2026, the complexity of the optical and light-source supply chain maintains high lead times and limits rapid scaling by leading-edge foundries.
