2.原文标题：Samsung Investigating Fraudulent 4nm Advanced Chip Technology Yields
– Report
3.原文来源(媒体/作者)：wccftech
4.原文内容：South Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics is purportedly inv
estigating fraud at its chip manufacturing division Samsung Foundry. Samsung Fou
ndry is only one of the two contract chip manufacturers in the world that is cap
able of producing semiconductors on the advanced 5-nanometer (nm) chip process.
The efficiency of such processes is determined by what is referred to as a 'yiel
d' in the semiconductor industry. A fresh report circulating in the Korean press
is now claiming that executives at Samsung Foundry might have fabricated the da
ta for 5nm and 4nm yields, in an effort to misplace the funds allocated by the c
ompany to improve chip manufacturing efficiency.
***正在调查晶圆代工部门的造假案。***跟GG是唯二能做5奈米以下的晶圆代工厂。而评估
晶圆制程的指标在半导体产业叫做良率。有新消息指出***在4奈米跟5奈米存在为了挪用母
集团提供来改善良率的资金而造假良率的问题。
The report, which surfaced earlier today in Korea, comes courtesy of Infostockda
ily, and it mentions the yields for Samsung's latest chip manufacturing technolo
gies, which are the 5nm and the 4nm process nodes. The yield of a chip process r
efers to the number of chips in a wafer that meet quality testing standards, and
it is a key parameter that is evaluated by foundries through early production r
uns before full scale manufacturing kicks off.
今天稍早来自韩媒Infostockdaily的报导提到了***最先进的5奈米跟4奈米制程的良率。良
率是指晶圆上能通过测试标准的芯片比例，通常都是在正式量产前的试产阶段评估的。
According to the Korean publication, officials at Samsung Electronics are conduc
ting an investigation on the whereabouts of the funds that had been allocated to
Samsung Foundry for improving its chip manufacturing process yields. This is to
determine whether the figures for the yields of the 5nm and 4nm nodes were fals
ified in order to create an impression that all is well at Samsung's chipmaking
arm when reality would suggest otherwise.
他们指出***的官方高层正在调查用来改善良率的资金去向，好确定是不是存在良率造假的
问题。毕竟现实情况是良率与标称不符。
Samsung and the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) are the only t
wo in the world that are selling chip products to customers under the 5nm brandi
ng. The pair are currently locked in a race to be the first to deliver 3nm produ
cts to the market.
***跟GG是唯二能做5奈米以下的晶圆代工厂，而他们正在竞争谁能先抢下3奈米节点。
Infostockdaily quotes an official familiar with the matter at Samsung Electronic
s stating that:
"Since the delivered quantities is struggled to meet the recent foundry orde
r volume, we have doubts about the yield of the non-memory process, which has wa
s known to be achieved. The management consulting investigates the claims on the
yield of a semiconductor foundry by former and current DS division executives.
The consulting will determine whether the claims are false"
Infostockdaily引述了***官方的相关人士“因为我们的产量看起来问题很大，我们不得不
怀疑逻辑制程的良率。管理层正在调查当初宣称的良率是不是真实的。”
Reports from the Korean press have already suggested that Samsung's yields for t
he 4nm process were shockingly disappointing and might have touched as low as 35
% for San Diego, California chip giant Qualcomm Incorporated's flagship Snapdrag
on smartphone system on chip (SoC). This figure implies that out of 100 Snapdrag
on chips present on a silicon wafer, only 35 were able to clear the required qua
lity control standards.
据他们指出***帮高通代工的SoC良率只有35%，也就是说晶圆上每100颗高通芯片只有35颗能
达到测试标准。
These reports have also hinted that Qualcomm has chosen to rely on TSMC for its
3nm chip needs and shifted a portion of its 4nm products to the Taiwanese compan
y as well. In addition to Qualcomm, Samsung also manufacturers semiconductors fo
r Santa Clara, California graphics processing unit (GPU) designer NVIDIA Corpora
tion.
这些报导解释了为什么高通把3奈米跟4奈米交给GG代工。除了高通，***也有帮老黄代工GPU
。
TSMC itself is reportedly facing yield problems with its 3nm process, which is s
et to enter volume production later this year. Reports of yield fraud at Samsung
are yet to be corroborated by other publications, with Infostockdaily being the
first to outline the possibility of fund misappropriation. Samsung officials ha
ve also stated that the investigation is routine and the situation is premature
for disclosing any additional details.
不过GG也被报导预计今年量产的3奈米有良率问题，目前也没有别的消息来源指出***有挪用
资金。***官方也说现在一切都还在调查，下定论还为之过早。
5.心得/评论：***不知道是哪根筋不对，整个流程里面能混水摸鱼的地方这么多，偏偏要挑
一个一翻两瞪眼没办法作弊的来唬烂。
垃圾高通也贪小便宜活该被骗，35%良率真的要笑死人，还不知道是把漏电spec放多松才能
有35%。前几天寒流我亲身体会到S888真的很适合用来暖手。
老黄30系列用8奈米逃过一劫，看到高通吃屎下一代也不敢继续用了
