UMC begin a close cooperation with IBM only last year , when licensed Big Blue technology FinFET-transistor to adapt to the corporate 20-nm process technology. It looks like a trial cooperation was successful. UMC's announced decision to join the club IBM Alliance as a full member.
According to the document, UMC with IBM will develop a 10-nm process technology. It should be emphasized - UMC will send engineers to the United States, so it will be full cooperation. American developer help its Taiwanese partner adapt FinFET-production not only to the 20-nanometer process technology, but also to the 14 nm. TSMC company , we recall, planning a 20-nm step on the 16-nm and only then move on. We add TSMC company is not formally included in the new alliances for the development of new production methods. Previously, it was a member of a number of projects in cooperation with IMEC. Currently, TSMC is a member of the American Club on the development of semiconductor manufacturing technology for 450-mm wafers. Related Products :
