STM FD-SOI Manufacturing Double Source: Samsung
May 19, 2014
Let’s start with apologies: when guessing that SMIC would be the 2nd source foundry for ST-Microelectronics 28nm FD-SOI, I was wrong. To be honest, if I had made the assumption that Samsung was this double source, I would have generated dozen of comments, calling me “crazy blogger”…for the best. Announcing Samsung as the first FD-SOI foundry partner is certainly one of the best deal that STM could make. According with private talk that I recently had when trying to know the name of this foundry, there will be other licensing agreement signed, and we can guess that SMIC is still a potential partner. Let’s have a (semiconductor) dream: TSMC could be another STM partner, and support FD-SOI!
