According to THE ELEC, Samsung Electronics discovered that its semiconductor etching process recipes were transferred multiple times to Lam Research Korea beyond authorized scope. Samsung's internal investigation found the unauthorized data transmission occurred repeatedly and constitutes a serious technology leak. As an equipment supplier to Samsung's semiconductor production lines, Lam Research is contractually permitted to access limited device data for performance optimization and maintenance. However, Samsung found that proprietary process recipes, which record critical parameters including equipment temperature, chamber pressure, gas flow rates and processing duration, were transmitted as standalone files through non-compliant requests rather than as isolated incidents. Samsung discovered the issue in H2 2026.
