A Samsung engineer was caught taking trade secrets to China's CXMT.
This information wasn't vague technical directions; rather, it contained precise operational data, including specific gas ratios, reactor pressures, and photoresist parameters. These datasets represent the optimized results Samsung obtained only after countless failures and scrapped wafers. Now, CXMT can bypass all trial-and-error costs by simply calibrating their machinery against these notebook parameters, effectively transforming Samsung’s former technical barriers into standard operating procedures for the production lines.
By exploiting blind spots in Samsung's internal security and bypassing all digital surveillance, the leaker used handwritten notes to record over 600 individual process steps.
The key to ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) achieving 10nm-class DRAM mass production at a speed that seemingly defies physics lies in its complete acquisition of Samsung’s PRP process roadmap—a project that took Samsung five years and 1.6 trillion KRW to develop.
