Cypress Memory Products are the Industry’s
First to Pass Stringent Qualification Process
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (CY), the market leader in advanced
embedded system solutions including radiation-hardened memories,
and United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TWSE: 2303)
("UMC"), a leading global semiconductor foundry, today announced
that Cypress’ 65nm and 40nm technology platforms are the industry’s
first to achieve Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) certification
for their advance product flows. The next-generation 144-Mbit Quad
Data Rate (QDR) II+, 144-Mbit QDR IV and 16-Mbit Asynchronous SRAM
devices, manufactured at UMC’s Fab 12A in Tainan, Taiwan, were
qualified under the QML-V certification for aerospace-grade
applications. QML certification is administered by the U.S. Defense
Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime and represents one of the
most stringent quality procedures implemented by the U.S.
government to ensure reliable and controlled supply of
microelectronic components.

a major milestone,” said Helmut Puchner, Senior Director of
Aerospace and Defense for Cypress’ Memory Products Division. “Our
new radiation-hardened memory products will be the first
QML-V-certified, high-density SRAM products to augment and support
existing and future FPGA- and processor-based space applications.
Being able to access the next-generation technology platforms from
our foundry partner UMC enables us to deliver leading-edge,
high-density and power-optimized memory products for our space
customers.”
“UMC is committed to maintaining the world’s highest quality
levels of manufacturing in order to enhance the competitiveness of
our foundry customers,” said Clock Chung, senior director of
Quality Assurance Division at UMC. “Working with Cypress to achieve
QML-V certification of their 65nm and 40nm products at UMC
represents the latest accomplishment in our two companies’
longstanding partnership. We look forward to realizing new
milestones with Cypress in the future.”
