Samsung's Taylor Fab to Begin Trial Runs This Month Amid Strong 2nm Demand

Samsung Electronics' Taylor, Texas wafer fab is expected to begin trial operations by the end of this month. The facility is nearing full capacity due to strong demand for 2nm chips from clients including Tesla, Broadcom, and Arm. With a cumulative investment of $37 billion since 2022, the plant aims for mass production next year with an initial monthly capacity of 50,000 wafers. Samsung has reported a yield improvement for its 2nm process to approximately 80% and has increased 4nm foundry prices by up to 15%.
