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 …
It’s “game on” in the race for high-performance mobile devices. With smart phones quickly evolving into “superphones”, these cutting-edge devices are leading the GHz race. And these devices will be a hub for consumers, enabling constant access to content and …
Samsung began its foundry business over six years ago with a focus on advanced technology nodes. With an aggressive process technology roadmap in place, we set out to compete in an industry that was already seeing some consolidation. Leveraging our …
When I take a step back and examine technology trends in consumer electronics, it seems clear that the future direction of system-on-chip design points to the growing importance of IP and software. Today, we’re seeing a significant increase in multi-core …
