UMC has been shipping customer
products based on its 90-nanometer (0.09-um) logic process
since March of 2003, making UMC the first dedicated foundry
company to announce the delivery of working customer IC's
built on the industry's most advanced manufacturing technology.
The achievement is a product of intense collaboration between
the engineering teams of UMC and its customers, and is a testimony
to UMC's proven ability to provide the industry's leading-edge
process technologies in a timely fashion. Currently, we are
product qualified and in volume production for multiple customers'
90nm products. UMC is also the only foundry to offer both
low-k or FSG for 90nm manufacturing, giving customers the
flexibility to choose the dielectric material best suited
for their particular product application.

| UMC offers several different transistor options
for its 90nm process to target a broad range of semiconductor
applications. Low leakage devices are offered for portable,
wireless applications where power management is a priority.
On the other end of the scale, a high-speed option is available
for graphics applications when the utmost performance is needed.
UMC's L90SP process offers the ideal balance between power consumption
and performance.

Technology
to Meet Broad Applications
|
| |
UMC's 90nm process pushes the technology envelope by incorporating
up to nine copper metal layers, triple gate oxide and other
advanced features. A wide range of transistor options are available,
including specific low leakage solutions that are optimized
for today's portable electronic devices that demand longer battery
life. Companies demanding ultimate performance, density, and
power efficiency will benefit from UMC's progress in 90nm technology.
UMC has achieved multiple product successes from the close,
collaborative work with our customers for their products based
on UMC's 90nm process. With successful production ahead of the
ITRS industry roadmap, UMC has further illustrated its commitment
to offering the leading-edge technology solutions to help our
customers realize their market objectives. Two platforms of
the advanced 90-nanometer technology were offered to meet the
specific product application. |
