Seo\u00adul, Korea and San\u00adta Cla\u00adra, Calif. <\/strong>April 17, 2014 \u2013 <\/strong>Sam\u00adsung Elec\u00adtro\u00adnics Co., Ltd. and GLOBALFOUNDRIES<\/span> today announ\u00adced a new stra\u00adte\u00adgic col\u00adla\u00adbo\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon to deli\u00adver glo\u00adbal capa\u00adci\u00adty for 14 nano\u00adme\u00adter (nm) Fin\u00adFET pro\u00adcess tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy. For the first time, the industry\u2019s most advan\u00adced 14nm Fin\u00adFET tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy will be available at both Sam\u00adsung and GLOBALFOUNDRIES<\/span>, giving cus\u00adto\u00admers the assu\u00adrance of sup\u00adp\u00adly that can only come from true design com\u00adpa\u00adti\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty at mul\u00adti\u00adple sources across the glo\u00adbe. The new col\u00adla\u00adbo\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon will levera\u00adge the com\u00adpa\u00adnies\u2019 world\u00adwi\u00adde lea\u00adding-edge semi\u00adcon\u00adduc\u00adtor manu\u00adfac\u00adtu\u00adring capa\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties, with volu\u00adme pro\u00adduc\u00adtion at Samsung\u2019s fabs in Hwa\u00adse\u00adong, Korea and Aus\u00adtin, Texas, as well as GLOBALFOUNDRIES<\/span>\u2019 fab in Sara\u00adto\u00adga, New York.<\/p>\n

Deve\u00adlo\u00adped by Sam\u00adsung and licen\u00adsed to GLOBALFOUNDRIES<\/span>, the 14nm Fin\u00adFET pro\u00adcess is based on a tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy plat\u00adform that has alre\u00ada\u00addy gai\u00adned trac\u00adtion as the lea\u00adding choice for high-volu\u00adme, power-effi\u00adci\u00adent sys\u00adtem-on-chip (SoC) designs. The plat\u00adform taps the bene\u00adfits of three-dimen\u00adsio\u00adnal, ful\u00adly deple\u00adted Fin\u00adFET tran\u00adsis\u00adtors to over\u00adco\u00adme the limi\u00adta\u00adti\u00adons of pla\u00adnar tran\u00adsis\u00adtor tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy, enab\u00adling up to 20 per\u00adcent hig\u00adher speed, 35 per\u00adcent less power and 15 per\u00adcent area sca\u00adling over indus\u00adtry 20nm pla\u00adnar technology.<\/p>\n

The plat\u00adform is the first Fin\u00adFET tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy in the foundry indus\u00adtry to pro\u00advi\u00adde true area sca\u00adling from 20nm. The tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy fea\u00adtures a smal\u00adler cont\u00adac\u00adted gate pitch for hig\u00adher logic pack\u00ading den\u00adsi\u00adty and smal\u00adler SRAM<\/span> bit\u00adcells to meet the incre\u00adasing demand for memo\u00adry con\u00adtent in advan\u00adced SoCs, while still lever\u00adaging the pro\u00adven inter\u00adcon\u00adnect sche\u00adme from 20nm to offer the bene\u00adfits of Fin\u00adFET tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy with redu\u00adced risk and the fas\u00adtest time-to-market.<\/p>\n

Through this mul\u00adti-year exclu\u00adsi\u00adve tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy licen\u00adse, pro\u00adcess design kits (PDKs) are available now, allo\u00adwing cus\u00adto\u00admers to start desig\u00adning with models, design rule manu\u00adals, and tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy files that have been deve\u00adlo\u00adped based on sili\u00adcon results from 14nm Fin\u00adFET test chips. Mass pro\u00adduc\u00adtion for the 14nm Fin\u00adFET tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy will begin at the end of 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>This unpre\u00adce\u00adden\u00adted col\u00adla\u00adbo\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon will result in a glo\u00adbal capa\u00adci\u00adty foot\u00adprint for 14nm Fin\u00adFET tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgy that pro\u00advi\u00addes AMD<\/span> with enhan\u00adced capa\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties to bring our inno\u00adva\u00adti\u00adve IP<\/span> into sili\u00adcon on lea\u00adding-edge tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgies,\u201d said Lisa Su, seni\u00ador vice pre\u00adsi\u00addent and gene\u00adral mana\u00adger of Glo\u00adbal Busi\u00adness Units at AMD<\/span>. \u201cThe work that GLOBALFOUNDRIES<\/span> and Sam\u00adsung are doing tog\u00ade\u00adther will help AMD<\/span> deli\u00adver our next gene\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon of ground\u00adbrea\u00adking pro\u00adducts with new levels of pro\u00adces\u00adsing and gra\u00adphics capa\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties to devices ran\u00adging from low-power mobi\u00adle devices, to next-gene\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon den\u00adse ser\u00advers to high-per\u00adfor\u00admance embedded solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
