TSMC, Qualcomm join hands to develop 28nm Process Technology
www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) along with Qualcomm is working on 28 nanometer (nm) process technology which is an advanced process node. More features would be integrated into smaller chips with a high level of cost efficiency through this process, thus, accelerating the expansion of wireless into new market segments.
According to Jason Chen, vice president of Worldwide Sales and Marketing, 28nm platform supports the high-performance, low-power products that deliver next-generation experiences. Both the companies worked on 65nm and 45nm technologies and will continue their partnership on low-power, low-leakage 28nm designs for high-volume manufacturing.
Besides, the company is also working on high-k metal gate (HKMG) 28HP and silicon oxynitride (SiON) 28LP technologies.
