SMIC and Qualcomm Collaborate on 28nm Wafer Production in China
SHANGHAI, July 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Semiconductor Manufacturing
International Corporation ("SMIC"; NYSE: SMI; SEHK: 981) and Qualcomm
Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), have announced that SMIC and Qualcomm
Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated, are working together
in connection with 28nm process technology and wafer manufacturing services in
China to manufacture Qualcomm® Snapdragon⢠processors. Qualcomm Technologies'
Snapdragon processors are purpose built for mobile devices. SMIC is one of
China's largest and most advanced semiconductor foundries, and Qualcomm
Technologies is one of the world's largest fabless semiconductor vendors and a
world leader in 3G, 4G and next-generation wireless technologies. This
collaboration will help accelerate SMIC's 28nm process maturity and capacity,
and will also make SMIC one of the first semiconductor foundries inChina to
offer production locally for some of Qualcomm Technologies' latest Snapdragon
processors on 28nm node, both PolySiON (PS) and high-K dielectrics metal gate
(HKMG).
Previously, SMIC has supported Qualcomm Technologies on power management,
wireless and connectivity related IC products at various process nodes. With
this new collaboration involving 28nm technology and wafer manufacturing
services, SMIC is further strengthening its strategic relationship with
Qualcomm Technologies. SMIC will work with Qualcomm Technologies in bringing
new 28nm design-ins and products for the growing mobile communication industry.
Going forward, SMIC will also extend its technology offerings on 3DIC and RF
front-end wafer manufacturing in support of Qualcomm Technologies as its
Snapdragon product portfolio continues to expand.
"We are delighted to enter this collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies
since this marks a significant milestone on the readiness and competitiveness
of SMIC's 28nm process technologies," said Dr.Tzu-Yin Chiu, chief executive
officer and executive director, SMIC. "This step forward demonstrates SMIC's
capabilities and commitments on bringing up the needed advanced node
technologies for addressing customers' demands and product roadmaps. With
Qualcomm Technologies' support, we are confident that our 28nm technologies
will become one of the most important growth drivers for the company. We expect
that the 28nm product life cycle longevity will exceed previous nodes, which
will help better position SMIC to service the needs of Qualcomm Technologies,
as well as others."
"SMIC is an important supplier to Qualcomm Technologies, and we are pleased
to be working with SMIC, whose capabilities and technology offerings are
growing to meet our demanding product needs," saidMurthy Renduchintala,
executive vice president, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and co-president, QCT.
"We look forward to working with SMIC on bringing up its 28nm production inChina
and executing on our regional supply chain strategy. With SMIC becoming a more
important supplier in our global operations, this collaboration will help
further our manufacturing footprint and services inChina, one of the world's
largest mobile consumer opportunities."
