You may have been reading a lot lately about the advantages of 14nm FinFET, as it relates to computing at the mobile level. This has been a key priority for Samsung Foundry, because it will allow us to manufacture chips …
As device scaling and the economics of semiconductor manufacturing reach major inflection points, developing SOCs that achieve the performance needed for future mobile computing devices while delivering on the holy grail of “always on” fantastic resolution displays requires the next …
As we hit the half way mark of 2012, it’s been an eventful year so far. Conversations swirl around: The need for more 28nm capacity Is 450mm wafer manufacturing really going to happen? When will FinFET transistors become standard? Will …
With more than 1,200 attendees, this year’s Common Platform Technology Forum was by far one of the most impressive forums Samsung, IBM and GLOBALFOUNDRIES has hosted. It was a great opportunity to discuss the future of semiconductor technology and innovation …
It’s difficult to believe that just 12 short months ago we started this blog site. Over the year, I’ve explored and discussed many different aspects of the foundry ecosystem from new process technologies, the need for ecosystem collaboration and customer …
In August 2010, Samsung began the legwork for the construction of our second 300mm logic fab, S2 line in Austin, Texas. With an investment of over $3.6B, this fab is at the cutting edge of logic semiconductor manufacturing, requiring extreme …
In today’s’ turbulent economic times, the consumer electronics market is one of the bright spots, growing at an explosive rate. To stay abreast of the leading-edge design, engineering and performance found in today’s fast-moving mobile CE markets, including digital cameras, …
Samsung Semiconductor and GLOBALFOUNDRIES have collaborated over the past several years to ensure that advanced process technology remains competitive. Today, I’m pleased to share that we’re broadening our joint work in order to manufacture chips based on a new high-performance …
My “Life’s Fab” blog is usually dedicated to all things related to advanced logic manufacturing, design enablement and IP. For this post I’m taking a detour from the world of nanotechnology to a topic that affects everyone – reducing hunger …
Smarter, faster, smaller, greener, always-on, ubiquitous – the list of mobile device attributes continues to grow as we continue to expand the capabilities of products that allow us 24/7 access to the information we deem important to our lives and …
