According to the microgrid news, Lam Lam Group announced on the 10th that it has launched a series of new selective etching products that support GAA transistor structure and 3D stacking technology. South Korean media pointed out that the device is expected to play a key role in the development of Samsung Electronics' next-generation storage semiconductors and system semiconductors.

According to BusinessKorea, it is unusual for Lam to directly mention customers when launching a new product. A person in the semiconductor industry said: "Semiconductor companies usually develop production equipment at the same time when developing new technologies. Samsung Electronics sees GAA as a panacea to catch up with TSMC and has been working with Lam from equipment development to testing. ”

Another notable aspect of Lam's statement is that the company will produce the semiconductor equipment in South Korea, and the new production line will be built by its global production base in South Korea, Lam Research Manufacturing Korea, which has three factories in Yongin, Osan, and Hwaseong.
