Samsung Electronics announced 8nm radio frequency (RF) chip process technology, hoping to seize the 5G wafer foundry orders.

It is reported that Samsung has developed a unique 8nm RF-specific architecture, called RFextremeFET (RFeFET™), which can significantly improve RF characteristics while using less power. Samsung plans to serve with 8nm RF foundry process technology as a way to seize the 5G field.

The company's cutting-edge foundry technology is expected to provide a "single-chip solution" specifically designed to support multi-channel and multi-antenna chip designs for 5G communications.

Samsung's 8nm RF platform expansion is expected to extend the company's leadership in the 5G semiconductor market from below 6GHz to millimeter-wave applications.
