GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ 28nm process comes in three flavors. Which is right for you?
This week at the Global Technology conference sponsored by GLOBALFOUNDRIES and its partners, Gregg Bartlett, Senior VP of Technology and Engineering at GLOBALFOUNDRIES, discussed the three flavors of the foundry’s 28nm IC manufacturing process. The 28nm-HPP (high-performance plus) process is … Continue reading
Want to know the three lessons for GLOBALFOUNDRIES from its 28nm high-K, metal-gate development?
Yesterday, I attended the Global Technology Conference, a chip-making extravaganza underwritten by GLOBALFOUNDRIES and its partners. Got several blog posts to write about this information-packed day but thought I’d start with the three lessons that GLOBALFOUNDRIES learned from its 28nm … Continue reading
Who else wants to see a 60x speedup in DFM signoff on a 28nm design?
Rambus has announced that it achieved a 60x speedup in DRC for an IP design targeting a 28nm process technology using GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ DRC+ methodology. This approach to DRC is interesting because it’s the industry’s first approach to DRC that teams … Continue reading
