To handle the rising demand within the autonomous and electrical car market,
Samsung presents numerous foundry options primarily based on 28nm FDS and 14nm course of
Samsung Electronics, a world chief in superior semiconductor know-how, right now unveiled an expanded portfolio of cutting-edge foundry options at its Samsung Foundry Forum (SFF) 2019 Munich.
Samsung attracted greater than 200 business consultants from fabless firms and foundry companions, and 16 companion cubicles displayed superior foundry know-how traits, a major improve in each numbers in comparison with final yr, representing a extra strong buyer base of Samsung Foundry in addition to higher collaboration in Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
Since the EMEA semiconductor market is in demand throughout a variety of functions together with automotive, client, community, and internet-of issues (IoT), Samsung launched numerous specialty applied sciences, equivalent to FD-SOI, radio frequency (RF), and embedded reminiscence together with complete portfolio of foundry course of nodes.
Samsung Electronics showcased its state-of-the-art foundry platforms that deliver collectively important technical components for new-age functions, together with 5G, IoT, automotive, and excessive efficiency computing (HPC), whereas increasing its design resolution companions to enhance world prospects’ entry to Samsung’s foundry options.
“It is a great honor to host our global foundry forum with increasing number of attendees every year. The forum has helped us work closely with our customers and strengthen Samsung’s foundry ecosystem,” mentioned Dr. ES Jung, president and head of foundry enterprise at Samsung Electronics, within the keynote speech. “We will strive to get more customer trust and be the best partner possible to prepare for the future with.”
Given the robustness of the European automotive business, the foundry platform for automotive semiconductor market is drawing appreciable consideration, and is predicted to quickly develop to deal with the rising demand within the autonomous and electrical car market.
Samsung is presently producing a number of automotive semiconductor merchandise equivalent to driving assistant and infotainment programs, primarily primarily based on its 28-nanometer (nm) FD-SOI and 14nm course of nodes. In order to reply to rising buyer inquiries, Samsung plans to develop its automotive course of nodes to 8nm in close to future.
Samsung can be specializing in purposeful security and part reliability, that are critically necessary within the automotive business, since any failure may trigger critical penalties of accident or harm.
Samsung has already confirmed its capacity to design IPs to satisfy the required automotive commonplace, and acquired the ISO 26262 certification for purposeful security in automotive elements from TÜV Rheinland. Complying with reliability commonplace AEC-Q100 and IATF 16969 high quality administration system, it is usually making ready for automotive semiconductor manufacturing.
Meanwhile, in cooperation with ecosystem companions, Samsung will host its first SAFE™ (Samsung Advanced Foundry Ecosystem) Forum on Oct 17 in San Jose, to introduce Samsung’s IP, Electronic Design Automation (EDA), and packaging options intimately for foundry companions.
