Samsung’s ups and downs (4): The manufacturing capability of Samsung’s foundry biz
In 2020, Samsung Electronics had a monthly capacity of 260,000 wafers for its 8-inch and 12-inch fabrication each, which increased to 265,000 and 325,000 respectively in 2021. It is estimated that its 12-inch fab capacity will increase to 443,000 wafers in 2022, with 5/7nm capacity increasing to 60,000 (compared to 30,000 as of the end of 2020). Samsung has committed to steady investment in the foundry business until 2026, but the biggest challenge for Samsung’s foundry business is the fact that the captive market’s contribution is very high.

LGD LTPO OLED面板进入苹果最后审查阶段
9月16日消息,据韩媒The Elec报道,LG Display为iPhone 14 Pro Max开发的低温多晶氧化物(LTPO)OLED 已进入苹果的最后审查阶段。
消息人士透露,LG Display能否赢得这笔交易将在约两周后决定。这是LG Display首次尝试LTPO TFT OLED商业化。其竞争对手三星显示已在为iPhone 14 Pro和iPhone 14 Pro Max制造面板,并早在2020年就将该技术商业化。

据了解,The Elec表示,LG Display 向库比蒂诺(苹果总部所在地)提供的样品显示,在薄膜封装和前置摄像头顶部的孔方面存在问题。消息人士称,该公司因此不得不更换生产过程中使用的一些材料,更改后的新样品正在进行可靠性测试。
如果苹果公司在两周内拒绝接受新样品,LG Display就必须再进行一次类似的程序,将审批时间再推迟两周到一个月。如果在10月初获得批准,LG Display就可以立即开始批量生产,获得更多的订单。
由于竞争对手受挫,需求意外增加,三星显示订购了更多用于制造LTPO OLED的设备。苹果在Pro机型中采用LTPO OLED面板,而标准版和Plus机型采用相较于LTPO OLED更容易制造的低温多晶硅(LTPS)面板。(来源:IT之家)
