A Samsung DDR-SDRAM
Samsung Electronics has been the world’s largest memory chip maker since 1993. In 2009, it started mass-producing 30 nm-class NAND flash memories.[102] It succeeded in 2010 in mass-producing 30 nm-class DRAMs and 20 nm-class NAND flashes, both of which were the first time in the world.[103]
According to market-research firm Gartner, during the second quarter of 2010 Samsung Electronics took the top position in the DRAM segment due to brisk sales of the item on the world market. Gartner analysts said in their report, “Samsung cemented its leading position by taking a 35-percent market share. All the other suppliers had minimal change in their shares.” The company took the top slot in the ranking, followed by Hynix, Elpida, and Micron, said Gartner.[104]
Another area where the company had significant business in for years is the foundry segment. It had begun investment in the foundry business since 2006 and now positioned it as one of the strategic pillars for semiconductor growth.[105]
In 2010, market researcher IC Insights predicted that Samsung would become the world’s-biggest semiconductor chip supplier by 2014, surpassing Intel. For the ten-year period from 1999 to 2009, Samsung’s compound annual growth rate in semiconductor revenues was 13.5 percent, compared with 3.4 percent for Intel.[106][107]
For 2015, IC Insights and Gartner announced that Samsung was the fourth largest chip manufacturer in the world.[108]
In July 2018, Samsung announced the first successful prototype of a LPDDR5 DRAM module.[109]
