Samsung Electronics announced foundry production of STMicroelectronics' products using 32/28nm High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) process technology.

Samsung Electronics' foundry business has been selected by STMicroelectronics to provide it with products at the 32/28nm process node. The relationship has already resulted in taping-out of a dozen ST advanced system-on-chip (SoC) devices for mobile, consumer and network applications.

Samsung and STMicroelectronics have developed 32/28nm High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) technology through participation in the International Semiconductor Development Alliance (ISDA). Samsung's foundry business has offered access to 32nm HKMG process technology for early market leaders and 28nm HKMG process technology for customers looking for traditional migration benefits.

"In addition to delivering waves of innovative new products, another key to ST's success in each of our target markets is working with industry leaders," said Jean-Marc Chery, executive vice president, chief-technology officer for STMicroelectronics. "Both ST and Samsung have worked together on advanced process-technology development through the ISDA and that experience has provided significant insight into our ability to work together to meet our objectives and thus provide unique service to our customers in demanding and fast-moving markets."
