Izinga eliphansi lama-reagents amakhemikhali asetshenziswa ekucubunguleni ama-wafers e-silicon angabangela umonakalo omkhulu kubakhiqizi bemikhiqizo ye-semiconductor. Kwanele ukukhumbula uMasingana embonini ye-TSMC, noma ubuyele esihlokweni semikhawulo ekuthengisweni kwezinto ezihlobene kusukela e-Japan kuya eNingizimu Korea, okubangele ukwethuka kubakhiqizi base-Korea.
Njengoba ukushicilelwa kuphawula , kulo nyaka i-Samsung Electronics isivele ibhekane nezingqinamba ekukhiqizeni ama-RAM chips ngezidingo zayo zisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bekilasi le-10nm. Manje, ngokusho komthombo, kutholakale amaphutha kwezobuchwepheshe ngesikhathi sokukhiqizwa kwezingxenye ezithile zamakhasimende ezinkampani zangaphandle, futhi sonke lesi simo singathinta kabi isithombe se-Samsung emehlweni amakhasimende.
Abamele i-Samsung Electronics bakuqinisekisile ukutholakala kweziphambeko, kodwa bathi umonakalo ongenzeka ulinganiswa ngezigidi ezimbalwa zamadola aseMelika. Imithombo yezinkampani zangaphandle ivame ukukholelwa ukuthi izinga lomonakalo likhulu kakhulu. Kunoma ikuphi, idumela le-Samsung lingase lihlupheke, futhi ukulahlekelwa okungaqondile kuzoba kukhulu kunokuqondile.
Kufanele kuvunywe ukuthi nakuba i-Samsung ingaphambi kwezimbangi zayo eziyinhloko ngejubane lokuqaliswa kwalokho okubizwa nge-EUV lithography, ayithumeli imikhiqizo eminingi kumakhasimende ezinkampani zangaphandle njengoba yenza ngezidingo zayo. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, isigaba esisha ngasinye sobuchwepheshe be-lithographic sidinga izindleko ezinkulu ezikhulayo, futhi kulula ukufeza ukubuyisela okusheshayo lapho uheha amakhasimende amasha. Izindaba mayelana nokukhubazeka kokukhiqiza ngokuqinisekile ngeke zisize ukukhangisa izinsizakalo ze-Samsung.
Abamele i-NVIDIA bavumile kulo nyaka ukuthi i-Samsung ingomunye wabakhiqizi benkontileka abalungele ukukhiqiza imikhiqizo engu-7-nm evela kumthuthukisi waseMelika wama-graphics processors. Uma uzakwethu wase-Korea ehluleka ukwenza umbono ofanele ku-NVIDIA, inqwaba yama-oda izophinda iye ku-TSMC. Lokhu kwakamuva, nakho, akukwazi ukumelana nenani elikhulayo lama-oda wemikhiqizo ye-7-nm, futhi lokhu kuba yingozi eyengeziwe ye-NVIDIA. Akumangazi ukuthi i-NVIDIA, ngaphansi kwalezi zimo, ayijahile ukuletha imikhiqizo yayo engu-7-nm emakethe.
