Monsterwinst Semiconductorfabrieken compensates Note 7-loss … – TechPulse (Blog)

It goes well with Samsung. If you have a terugroep action of your expensive vlaggenschiptelefoon because of risk of explosion not only can survive, but in the same year, the largest gain in three years can submit, then you’re doing something right. In the case of Samsung, the semiconductor branch of the Korean giant, the hen with the golden eggs. Samsung is besides TSMC and Global Foundries one of the companies where the designers of computer chips can have their designs. Apple is right there, for example, with its iPhone chips, and Qualcomm bakes since last year, high-end Snapdragons.

This year can Samsung extract with a technical innovation: the Korean fabs are the only one in the world now where all chips with the 10 nm process to be baked. Qualcomm makes grateful use of by the brand new Snapdragon 835 in a Samsungfabriek, while the latter in return the first batch of copies produced entirely for himself. That cooperation is brilliant for Samsung and Qualcomm, but not really for the rest of the market, we noticed that here already.

Large profit margin

The fabs are the most modern in the world and they are running at full speed. In addition to SoCs for mobile phones Samsung 3D V-NAND for SSDS and the demand for the 14 nm DRAM is very large. In spite of all that is the Semiconductortak good for only 25 percent of the 44 billion dollar sales that Samsung in the past year turned. Yet the fabs in for more than 45 percent of the profits. That illustrates the high profit margins that Samsung may ask because it’s technically a step ahead of the competition.

To the huge profits to be retained, should Samsung continue to fight. It is the semiconductorbusiness only for the wind as long as the Koreans technically the strongest. For example, when TSMC first, a stable 7-nm manufacturing process can roll out, you can from that part of Samsung’s partners to the competition disappears.

Samsung wanted to in the Note 7, a substantial battery life in a slim smartphone. But that also made sure that the battery is too tight inside the housing was built. The negative electrodes arcs are therefore reduced in the corners, with short-circuiting as a result.

When problems arose, pulled Samsung the phones back. The alternative models of bleaching, however, also flame to catch, which again was due to a manufacturing error. In some cases it was the electrical tape is damaged, or was missing the tape entirely.

Research

Samsung switched in the analysis of the problems, three independent research firms. The last time investigated a staff of 700 to 200,000 phones and 30,000 batteries. The findings were then shared in a press conference.

In this presentation it has become clear how Samsung dangerous situations in the future wants to avoid. Batteries are in the sequel much more extensively tested. So among other things with x-rays being done to see how the battery in the telephone performs.

Also, in the sequel better look at the placement of the batteries, and every battery on the inside been thoroughly investigated. In addition, batteries of the future phones also software held in check.

Result

Samsung sharing results research Note 7: it was the battery – DutchCowboys

Yes, we saw all not arrive: the Note 7-problems were caused by the battery. A bit bland perhaps, because the research from Samsung has something specific showed where the problem was in the burning/exploding phone.

Type A and B

There were two types of batteries and both had a different problem. The original battery of the Note 7 that Samsung Type of A call was actually too big. Batteries, shrink and expand during use, and because there was no room for the power off, internal components, crushed and damaged, specifically the separators that the positively and negatively charged electrodes separate from each other. If those two touch each other is a dangerous level of heat generated and so that is what happened.

The second set of batteries, type B, were made by a different company manufactured and that have so much of a hurry to make it to ten million new batteries in a very short time to produce that issues have occurred. Samsung has this in collaboration with a whole mountain to third parties, and the approximately 700,000 technicians in-house at the four locations where the Note 7 is produced is examined. There were 200.000 Notes tested with 30,000 batteries in a special lab.

No two time punches

The Korean company wants, that this never can happen, and has also announced a number of new protocols to implement, including an 8-step inspection of new batteries with a leak-, voltage-, and endurance test, röntgentest and a complete dismantling and reconstruction of each battery. This testing shall be for the Galaxy S8 already be done.

That’s not all: Samsung passes all the safety standards for their batteries freely share, and the new testing standard will be made public for all security organisations. Samsung has, quite rightly, something to prove and is in any case committed to this blemish on the blazon to brush away and that is a good start to the confidence and trust of the smartphone-buyers to win back.

After investigation incendiary Note 7, the question remains: is this enough? – NOS

“That meant, really, that Samsung much too fast a new device on the market, wanted to bring”, says smartphone-analyst Tim Wijkman of research firm Telecompaper. “In place of the second battery to test, they wanted to quickly on the market.”

The development of a battery is complex, the design comes very closely. “A battery is basically a bomb in your pocket,” said Wijkman. “Because everything is balanced properly is very often good, but the Note 7 proves that small mistakes can have major consequences.”

“What strikes me is the urge to Samsung, but other manufacturers, more and more features in a phone to stop”, says professor Peter Notten of the TU Eindhoven. “That all cost extra energy. But because they are the battery and therefore the device will not be unnecessarily thick, or large want to make is there is more energy in the same battery stopped. That is a time error.”

Notten looked at the request of the NOS to the eight-point plan of Samsung. This is a list of Samsung expires on the test. According to the company is this already handled, but the test is intensified. However, three of the eight parts new. “These are very basic things, that a manufacturer it would have to do,” says Notten thereon.

Two different battery problems behind fire Note 7 – NU.nl

That said Samsung ceo Dong Jin Koh Monday during a press conference in which the research results to the fire hazard of the phone were announced. In addition, said the chief executive that the Galaxy S8 later than expected is announced.

According to Samsung, the mistake lies, however, in the manufacture of the two types of batteries that are in the Note 7 are used.

Two errors

Both the first series Note 7 devices as a replacement batch with other batteries were both suffering from their own problem. In the first series with the battery A was by the curvature of the upper-right corner of the battery housing, a deflection of the negative electrode, which could create a short circuit. Battery B in the replacement batch of devices had a faulty weld and in some cases lacked the electrical tape leaving a battery in the opening, also with short-circuiting as a result.

Samsung says that the past few months, every aspect of the Galaxy Note 7 has been investigated. In the large-scale study of about 700 Samsung employees involved. They analysed more than 200,000 devices and over 30,000 batteries. The company migrated three objective research in to the incident to watch.

Responsibility

The company says it takes responsibility for not identifying the problems that have emerged from the batterijontwerp and the production process.

to ensure that similar problems don’t occur, Samsung has the protocol extended. “The lessons that the past few months we have learned, are now deep into our processes and our culture anchored”, says Samsung.

Recall

Samsung decided as a result of the battery problems to the Galaxy Note 7 is completely taken out of production and all delivered copies to recall it. In the United States are now 96 percent of all Note 7 instances returned.

According to the American telecom provider Verizon, however, there are still thousands of devices in use, in spite of released software updates that the Note 7 disable, reports Fortune. To further use to avoid, has Verizon decided that henceforth, all the outgoing calls that users perform automatically switching to the customer service of the company.

Galaxy S8 will come later
