Japanese chip manufacturer Fastis preparing to take a resounding step in the technology world. In Japan-based news, Rapidus, US chip designer Broadcom’a 2 nanometers It was reported that it plans to offer chip samples as of June. While it is currently known that only Taiwanese TSMC and South Korean Samsung have 2 nanometer chip production capacity, neither company has started mass production yet.

This breakthrough of Rapidus is made possible thanks to its cooperation with the US IBM. Last November, Rapidus received Japan’s first production from Dutch ASML. EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography) machines. These high-tech machines play a critical role in the production of the latest chips.

Fast2 nanometers example Starting production in April Broadcom’a In June It aims to make its first delivery. Broadcom surprised investors by announcing its AI chip plans last December, sending its shares up 38 percent. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that they plan to produce one million AI chips by 2027 and generate revenue between 60 and 90 billion dollars from this field. In fact, the company is the world’s first for artificial intelligence. 3.5D F2F introduced his technology.

Japanese chipmaker Rapidus aims to capture a share of this growing AI chip demand. Firm, To start mass production of 2 nanometer chips in 2027 While planning, it also aims to procure more EUV machines from ASML. Additionally, ASML will reportedly open a new service center in Japan. By the way, let us note that Japan and eight Japanese companies, including Toyota and Sony, are behind Rapidus.

On the other hand TSMCto start mass production of 2-nanometer chips at the end of this year and 2026 and plans to launch the first products on the market. The 2-nanometer chips will have smaller component sizes compared to the previous generation, 3-nanometer chips, and an advanced transistor design that differs from the current FinFET. What TSMC uses in these chips is “nanosheet“transistor design aims to improve performance by increasing power efficiency.

Samsung Similarly for 2 nanometer chips “gate-all-around-FinFET” (GAAFET) prefers the transistor design. While Samsung developed this technology together with IBM, it completed installing the machines necessary for mass production in the last quarter of 2024. Similarly, the South Korean giant is expected to start mass production at the end of this year.
