đ€ Samsung Foundry Targets Full Capacity Utilization on Surging AI Demand
Samsung Electronics is targeting 100% capacity utilization across its semiconductor foundry division during the second half of 2026, fueled by accelerating global demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure. Current operational utilization rates sit between 70% and 80%, but surging orders for High Bandwidth Memory base dies alongside expanded advanced-node contract commitments are expected to drive output to full operational capacity.
The production ramp marks a clear operational recovery for the division after prolonged utilization declines across its advanced manufacturing nodes. Demand for sub-8-nanometer processes has surged, while development projects for 2-nanometer manufacturing have more than doubled compared to the previous year. âïž Operating factory lines at full volume directly reduces fixed-cost burdens, paving the way for the foundry division to return to operating profitability. $SAMSUNG
