Samsung Semiconductor will reduce the amount of wafers put into wafers by 10%, and the EUV production line will be even worse
According to Korean media Aju News, Samsung plans to reduce at least 10% of the wafer production at the S3 plant in South Korea’s Hwaseong Park starting from the third quarter of 2023.
Samsung Semiconductor will start reducing production at the S3 plant in Hwaseong Park in the third quarter. The S3 factory is a 12-inch production line built and put into operation by Samsung Semiconductor in 2018. It currently mainly produces 10nm to 7nm products. It is also one of the main production plants of Samsung Semiconductor's EUV advanced process. Samsung has deployed multiple ASML NXE3400 EUV lithography machines for it. .
Aju News pointed out that this production cut is the first time in recent years that Samsung has artificially reduced the amount of wafers put into semiconductor factories.
During the downturn in the semiconductor industry, in order to invest counter-cyclically to squeeze competitors such as TSMC, Samsung was still seeking to expand production until the beginning of this year. It plans to increase wafer production capacity by at least 10% by the second half of 2023, but the decline in the semiconductor industry is far faster than Samsung. expected.
The amount of Samsung Semiconductor's products in stock is nearly 32 trillion won, a record high since records were kept. Therefore, after reducing memory production and raising prices, Samsung had to further reduce the amount of system LSI wafers to balance inventory.
