Advanced Front and Back End Technologies
As the LSI becomes more refined, the number of gates that can be mounted is increasing. In the custom SoC development, the demand to design a chip with more than 100-million gates is increasing. It is also becoming important to fulfill the demands of more complicated designs such as reduction of consumption power. In this Read More
Advanced Process Technology
Semiconductor processing technology is down to the deep submicron nodes, and volume production of 28nm semiconductors has already started. Socionext is working with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) for manufacturing of 40nm process and further. By the synergetic effect of the world’s best manufacturing capability of TSMC and the quality-control system and design-engineering ability Read More
