The 14nm technology development between Samsung and GlobalFoundries that started last year is now reaching its final step by releasing the availability schedule of the process technology including the 2 main flavors.
The primary concept of the strategic collaboration is to make 14nm FinFET technology available at
During the last decades, important advances in microelectronic techniques and technologies had been fueling the introduction of new wireless enabled products accessible to a large number of people around the world. Without the competitive price offered by CMOS, the widespread use of wireless enabled engineering complex devices, e.g. smartphones, tablets, etc. would certainly have been delayed.

Bob Colwell, Director of the Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), recently made a compelling statement about the end of Moore’s Law: “When Moore’s Law ends, it will be economics that stops it, not physics. Follow the money.”
If we move beyond Moore’s
The ultimate ASIC calculator is available live on AnySilicon’s website. Together with our Die Per Wafer calculator this ASIC price calculator provides a very accurate final price for ASIC designs. Please note, we did not include shipping cost therefore you may want to add this to the total prices.
