January 09 2018 - 8:01AM
GF's FDX technology will enable ST to deliver
high-performance, low-power products for next-generation consumer
and industrial applications
Santa Clara, California and Geneva, Switzerland, January 9,
2018 - GLOBALFOUNDRIES and STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM)
today announced that ST has selected GF's 22nm FD-SOI (22FDX®)
technology platform to support its next-generation of processor
solutions for industrial and consumer applications.
After deploying the industry's first 28nm FD-SOI technology
platform, ST is extending its commitment and roadmap by adopting
GF's production-ready 22FDX process and ecosystem to deliver
second-generation FD-SOI solutions for the intelligent systems of
tomorrow.
"FD-SOI is ideally suited for cost-sensitive applications
requiring significant processing and connectivity capabilities at
lower power consumption," said Joël Hartmann, Executive Vice
President, Digital Front-End Manufacturing and Technology,
STMicroelectronics. "The cost-effective performance and
best-in-class energy efficiency benefits of GF's 22FDX platform,
coupled with ST's extensive design experience and IP base in
FD-SOI, will enable our customers with unparalleled value for
power, performance and cost. We are relying on GF's Dresden site
for manufacturing products using this technology."
"ST has established a strong track record with FD-SOI
technology," said Alain Mutricy, senior vice president of product
management at GF. "The addition of GF's 22FDX platform, coupled
with ST's long history of pioneering new technologies and products,
will enable the two companies to deliver differentiated FD-SOI
products at the 22nm node."
As a complementary path to FinFETs, GF's versatile FDX platform
offers the ability to integrate digital, analog, and RF functions
onto a single chip, which allows customers to design intelligent
and fully-integrated system solutions. The technology is uniquely
suited for chips that require performance on demand and energy
efficiency at the lowest solution cost, making it ideal for a broad
range of applications, from intelligent clients and wireless
connectivity to artificial intelligence and smart vehicles.
