GLOBALFOUNDRIES Launches Industry’s First 22nm FD-SOI Technology Platform

“The connected world of mobile and IoT devices depend on SoCs that are optimized for performance, power and cost,” said Will Abbey, general manager, physical design group, ARM. “We are collaborating closely with GLOBALFOUNDRIES to deliver the IP ecosystem needed for customers to benefit from the unique value of 22FDX technology.”

“VeriSilicon has experience designing IoT SoCs in FD-SOI technology and we have demonstrated the benefits of FD-SOI in addressing ultra-low power and low energy applications,” said Wayne Dai, president and CEO of VeriSilicon Holdings Co. Ltd. “We look forward to collaborating with GLOBALFOUNDRIES on their 22FDX offering to deliver power, performance and cost optimized designs for smart phones, smart homes, and smart cars especially for the China market.”

“Next-generation connected devices, in markets from wearables and IoT to mobile and consumer, require semiconductor solutions that provide an optimal balance of performance, power and cost,” said Tony King-Smith, EVP Marketing, Imagination Technologies. “The combination of GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ new 22FDX technology with Imagination’s broad portfolio of advanced IP - including PowerVR multimedia, MIPS CPUs and Ensigma communications – will enable more innovation by our mutual customers as they bring differentiated new products to the market."

“FD-SOI technology can provide a multi-node, low-cost roadmap for wearable, consumer, multimedia, automotive, and other applications,” said Handel Jones, founder and CEO, IBS, Inc. “GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ 22FDX offering brings together the best in low-power FD-SOI technology in a low-cost platform that is expected to experience very strong demand."

“FD-SOI can deliver significant improvements in performance and power savings, while minimizing adjustments to existing design-and-manufacturing methodologies,” said CEA-Leti CEO Marie-Noëlle Semeria. “Together, we can collectively deliver proven, well-understood design-and-manufacturing techniques for the successful production of GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ 22FDX for connected technologies.”

“GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ announcement is a key milestone for enabling the next generation of low-power electronics,” said Paul Boudre, CEO of Soitec. “We are pleased to be GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ strategic partner. Our ultra-thin SOI substrate is ready for high-volume manufacturing of 22FDX technology.”
