IBM, Samsung Electronics, and GlobalFoundries will preview future silicon technology at the 2012 Common Platform Technology Forum to be held at the Santa Clara Convention Center on 14 March.
The companies are the founders of the Common Platform technology collaboration, which is the world’s largest chip-making consortium, IBM officials said. At the upcoming forum, the companies will address next-generation semiconductor innovation covering topics such as 28-, 20- and 14-nanometer processes, as well as innovations beyond 14nm and 450mm wafer manufacturing.
These technologies are being jointly developed by the Common Platform companies – including more than 20 additional members – to power the majority of the world’s mobile devices and consumer electronics, IBM said
“The expertise of the companies is driving breakthrough technology innovations for semiconductor manufacturing. Our extensive and open ecosystem, focused on core manufacturing capabilities, gives our customers a flexible way to bring a wide range of semiconductor products to market,” he added.
The Common Platform Technology Forum will include keynotes from industry leaders and presentations from senior members of the Common Platform partners’ management and technical teams. The forum will focus on collaboration for technology delivery, highlighting the rich and broad ecosystem of design enablement and implementation partners through a Partner Pavilion featuring leading EDA, IP, library, mask, packaging and design services companies.
Each of the three founding companies brings a unique contribution to the collaboration. IBM and GlobalFoundries conceptualised the technology at 90 nm. Samsung joined as the collaboration became formalised and expanded for 65 nm and 45 nm. The three companies are listed in marketing materials in order that they came to participate: IBM, GlobalFoundries and Samsung.
