TSMC Head already recognized Globalfoundries as a serious competitor. As it is explained, the scientific and industrial potential of new player on the market for contract semiconductor chip production is highly evaluated by independent experts.
In the opinion of Gartner analysts, on the technological development level globalfoundries can be considered as unconditional leader, whereas TSMC company is leader from the production volumes side , since now it obtains basic profit from the production of 65 nm chips. Globalfoundries company with the assistance of IBM already mastered the immersion lithograph technology, and it will soon master lithographic technology with the use of ultra hard ultraviolet radiation (EUV). These technologies, in the opinion of experts, will become the guarantee of advantage retention for globalfoundries in the technological sphere. Certainly, Intel masters new technologies faster , but the company does not render services on contract chips production . To the end of following year globalfoundries will master 28 nm technical process, and Dresden factories company can release even 22 nm chips before their equipment will become obsolete and will require replacement. The existing equipment Of fab 1 will ensure competitive ability for the next 8 years. Related Products :
