UMC, a world leading semiconductor foundry, today announced the availability of the foundry industry's most advanced 0.18um embedded high voltage technology. This process targets the growing portable liquid crystal display (LCD) market, and can supply the different voltages required for the gate driver, source driver, controller and 4um(squared) ultra dense SRAM cell resulting in a smaller footprint, one-chip solution. An additional non-volatile memory (NVM) feature, called Multiple Times Programmable (MTP) memory, can also be added to the process with the addition of just one extra mask step.
