UMC's Value Driven 40nm Technology

UMC's 40nm process delivers more than twice the gate density of 65nm, and also features an SRAM cell size shrink of approximately 50 percent.

* 40LP –

This cost optimized, low power solution that supports multiple foundry sourcing is ideal for cell phones, portable devices, WLAN and consumer electronics.

* 40G –

The performance oriented 40G process improves speed by more than 40 percent over 65nm. Also capable of supporting multiple foundry sourcing, 40G targets networking, FPGA and wired communication applications. Technology options can then be implemented including mixed signal/RFCMOS to further customize the process.
