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 has implemented Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistor architecture at the 3nm node, with SF3 (3GAA) in production since mid-2024. Foundry market share rankings vary by source and quarter; Q2 2024 reports placed it second behind TSMC at ~13-15%. Latest Q3/Q4 2024 data unavailable in provided Wikipedia excerpt; verification with recent industry reports (e.g., TrendForce, Counterpoint) recommended.

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.
