GLOBALFOUNDRIES is announcing the availability of its 7nm Leading-Performance (7LP) FinFET semiconductor technology, which offers a 40-percent performance boost over 14nm FinFET. The first customer products based on 7LP are expected to launch in the first half of 2018, with volume production ramping in the second half of 2018. Initial production will utilize an optical lithography approach, but a migration to EUV lithography is planned.
...the first customer products based on 7LP are expected to launch in the first half of 2018, with volume production ramping in the second half of 2018. In September 2016, GF announced plans to develop its own 7nm FinFET technology leveraging the company’s unmatched heritage of manufacturing high-performance chips. Thanks to additional improvements at both the transistor and process levels, the 7LP technology is exceeding initial performance targets and expected to deliver greater than 40 percent more processing power and twice the area scaling than the previous 14nm FinFET technology. The technology is now ready for customer designs at the company’s leading-edge Fab 8 facility in Saratoga County, N.Y.
