Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, today introduces its newest radio frequency (RF) technology based on 8-nanometer (nm) process. This cutting-edge foundry technology is expected to provide a "one chip solution," specifically for 5G communications with support for multi-channel and multi-antenna chip designs. Samsung's 8 nm RF platform extension is expected to expand the company's leadership in the 5G semiconductor market from sub-6 GHz to mmWave applications.

Samsung's 8 nm RF process technology is the latest addition to an already broad portfolio of RF-related solutions, including 28 nm- and 14 nm-based RF. The company has established its RF market leadership through the shipping of more than 500 million mobile RF chips for premium smartphones since 2017. "Through excellence in innovation and process manufacturing, we've reinforced our next-generation wireless communication offerings," said Hyung Jin Lee, Master of Foundry Technology Development Team at Samsung Electronics. "As 5G mmWave expands, Samsung's 8nm RF will be a great solution for customers looking for long battery life and excellent signal quality on compact mobile devices."
