Após alguns meses de rumores, a GF anuncia um novo processo, "22nm" FD-SOI, a razão das aspas:

Gerd Teepe, director and design engineering at GlobalFoundries...
...He said, “We are developing 22nm FD-SOI process technology right now.” The plan is to qualify the process by early 2016 and start volume production by the end of 2016. Asked about what the company’s 22nm FD-SOI process entails, Teepe explained, “We are using STMicroelectronics’ 14nm FD-SOI in our frontend, while using 28nm FD-SOI in the backend.”

GlobalFoundries FD-SOI. Yes, It's True
...It turns out that for high performance designs (Intel microprocessors obviously) that FinFET is great. Really high drive, some capacitance stuff to deal with but...yes...fast. But for really low power and low cost without that screaming performance it was not so good.

Globalfoundries Launches Own FDSOI Processes

Globalfoundries' CEO: Why FD-SOI and Why Now
"FinFET is very good for high cost, high volume, high performance applications. But there are many applications in IoT and mobile which require much lower power consumption."

So why didn't Globalfoundries come earlier with a 28nm FD-SOI offering?

"The 22nm process overcomes some challenges at 28nm. The transistor is better and the 20 percent area scaling we get makes up for the cost of the substrate," Jha said. "That means we can offer better performance at the same cost as 28nm [alternatives to FD-SOI],"

Aparentemente isto do FD-SOI não é um Unicórnio.

In Germany, GF plans to build up 22FDX® 22nm FD-SOI capacity at is Fab 1 facility in Dresden to meet demand for the Internet of Things (IoT), smartphone processors, automotive electronics, and other battery-powered wirelessly connected applications, growing the overall fab capacity by 40 percent by 2020.

e ainda

In China, GF and the Chengdu municipality have formed a partnership to build a fab in Chengdu. The partners plan to establish a 300mm fab to support the growth of the Chinese semiconductor market and to meet accelerating global customer demand for 22FDX. The fab will begin production of mainstream process technologies in 2018 and then focus on manufacturing GF’s commercially available 22FDX process technology, with volume production expected to start in 2019.

GLOBALFOUNDRIES 22FDX RF Solution Provides the Basis for Next-Gen mmWave Automotive Radar
Bosch chose GF as its partner to develop a mmWave automotive radar system-on-chip (SoC) for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications, manufactured using GF’s 22FDX™ RF solution.
GF’s 22FDX chips are manufactured at its Fab 1 facility in Dresden, Germany.

As part of the partnership, Bosch will utilize GF's automotive turnkey solutions for mmWave testing and packaging development, which will assist in increasing design efficiency and speeding time to market.
The first 22FDX-based radar SoCs for further testing of Bosch’s new generation of automotive radars are targeted for delivery in the second half of 2021.

To date, GF’s 22FDX solutions have realized $4.5 billion in design wins, with more than 350 million chips shipped to customers around the world.

A GF anunciou que este ano provavelmente duplicará o investimento (total 1.4B$) na expansão da capacidade de produção.

Isto quando a própria Bosch acaba de produzir as primeiras wafers, na sua mais recente (300mm) e totalmente automatizada Fab também em Dresden... a 65nm :coolshad:

STMicroelectronics and GlobalFoundries to advance FD-SOI ecosystem with new 300mm manufacturing facility in France​


Crolles (France), July 11, 2022 – STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, and GlobalFoundries Inc. (Nasdaq: GFS), a global leader in feature-rich semiconductor manufacturing, today announced they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to create a new, jointly-operated 300mm semiconductor manufacturing facility adjacent to ST’s existing 300mm facility in Crolles, France. This facility is targeted to ramp at full capacity by 2026, with up to 620,000 300mm wafer per year production at full build-out (~42% ST and ~58% GF).
ST and GF are committed to building capacity for their European and global customer base. This new facility will support several technologies, in particular FD-SOI-based technologies, and will cover multiple variants. This includes GF’s market leading FDX technology and ST’s comprehensive technology roadmap down to 18nm, which are expected to remain in high demand for Automotive, IoT, and Mobile applications for the next few decades.
In addition to the sizeable, multi-year investment in advanced semiconductor manufacturing in Europe, it will support the leadership and resilience of the European technology ecosystems, from R&D (with the recently announced cooperation on R&D among ST, GF, CEA-Leti and Soitec) to large-volume manufacturing, and support European and global customers with additional capacity in complex, advanced technologies for key end-markets including automotive, industrial, IoT, and communication infrastructure.

Agora a confirmação

GlobalFoundries and STMicroelectronics Finalize Agreement for New 300mm Semiconductor Manufacturing Facility in France
The program represents an overall projected cost of 7.5 billion euro for CAPEX, maintenance and ancillary costs. The new facility will benefit from significant financial support from the State of France (administered by Bpifrance). The aid measure, in line with the objectives set out in the European Chips Act and part of the “France 2030” plan, recently received approval from the European Commission.

E quando estes gajos passam para sub 10nm?

Neste momento a AMD só deve ter contratos para legacy/long term devices com eles alem de IoDs para AM4 e epyc zen3...
 
Não passam, saltaram fora quando cancelaram os 7nm, perdendo não só a AMD como a IBM, esta última "obrigada" a optar pela Samsung, e que deu origem ao embroglio jurídico entre ambas as empresas.

Pelo menos FinFET nunca irá existir.

Mas não sei ao certo qual é o node, a ST Micro supostamente tem versões Fd SOI para os 28, 20 e 14nm (a nomenclatura depende de cada um).

Quer a GF quer a Samsung têm os 28nm licenciados (o tal 22 FDX), mas acho que só a Samsung tem os restantes licenciados à ST-M, embora creio que só produza o 18 FD-SOI
