Company researchers work around the clock to solve manufacturing problems. Customers demand chips that work for the next three years. Samsung bets everything on this 2nm technology to compete with rival TSMC.
Qualcomm dealt Samsung a crushing blow recently. The American company canceled orders for Samsung chips that would power future smartphones. Samsung had finished test production and expected major business from the deal. The cancellation hurt Samsung's chances of quick recovery. Company leaders refuse to give up despite the setback.
Samsung finished designing its second version of 2nm chips. Engineers plan to create a third version within two years. The company needs 70 percent working chips to make money from manufacturing.
