I-GlobalFoundries ibeka isitshalo sangaphambili sase-US IBM ezandleni ezinhle

Ngemuva kokuthi i-VIS elawulwa yi-TSMC ithathe amabhizinisi e-MEMS ye-GlobalFoundries ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, amahlebezi aphakamisa kaningi ukuthi abanikazi bezimpahla ezisele babefuna ukulungisa ukwakheka kwazo. Izinhlobo ezahlukene zokuqagela zishiwo mayelana nabakhiqizi baseShayina bemikhiqizo ye-semiconductor, kanye ne-Samsung giant yaseNingizimu Korea, kanye nenhloko ye-TSMC ngesonto eledlule ngisho. kwadingeka enze isitatimende esingacacile sokuthi inkampani ayicabangi ukuthenga amanye amabhizinisi ngaphandle kwase-Taiwan.

Leli sonto liqale ngezindaba ezimnandi kunoma ngubani olandela imboni ye-semiconductor. Inkampani ye-GlobalFoundries kumenyezelwe ngokusemthethweni ekungeneni esivumelwaneni ne-ON Semiconductor, ngaphansi kwemibandela lapho laba bakamuva bazothola khona ukulawula okuphelele kwebhizinisi le-Fab 2022 eNew York State, i-GlobalFoundries ngokwayo ngo-10 ngenxa yesivumelwano ne-IBM.

Ngokushesha ngemva kokusayina isivumelwano, i-GlobalFoundries ithola ama- $ 100 wezigidi, enye i-$ 330 million izokhokhwa ekupheleni kuka-2022. Kungalesi sikhathi lapho i-ON Semiconductor izothola khona ukulawula okuphelele ku-Fab 10, futhi abasebenzi bebhizinisi bazodlulisela kubasebenzi bomqashi omusha. Inqubo ende yoguquko, njengoba i-GlobalFoundries ichaza, izovumela inkampani ukuthi isabalalise ama-oda asuka ku-Fab 10 aye kwamanye amabhizinisi ayo asebenza ngamawafa angama-silicon angama-300 mm.

Ama-oda okuqala e-ON Semiconductor azokhishwa ku-Fab 10 ngo-2020. Kuze kube yilapho ibhizinisi lingena ngaphansi kolawulo lwabanikazi abasha, i-GlobalFoundries izogcwalisa ama-oda afanelekile. Endleleni, umthengi uthola ilayisense yokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe kanye nelungelo lokuzibandakanya ekuthuthukisweni okukhethekile. Kuthiwa i-ON Semiconductor izokwazi ukufinyelela kumazinga obuchwepheshe obungu-45 nm no-65 nm. Imikhiqizo emisha yalolu hlobo izothuthukiswa ngesisekelo sayo, nakuba i-Fab 10 ikwazi ukukhiqiza imikhiqizo engu-14-nm.

Ifa IBM - yini elandelayo?

Isivumelwano sika-2014 phakathi kwe-IBM ne-GlobalFoundries wehlela emlandweni imboni enemibandela yayo engajwayelekile: empeleni, umthengi uthole amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-1,5 kumthengisi njengenamathiselwe emabhizinisini amabili e-IBM e-United States, angakhokhanga lutho. Enye yazo, i-Fab 9, itholakala e-Vermont futhi icubungula ama-silicone wafers angu-200 mm. I-Fab 10 itholakala eNew York State futhi isebenza ama-wafers angu-300 mm. Kuyi-Fab 10 manje eseza ngaphansi kolawulo lwe-ON Semiconductor.

Umthengi, omelwe yi-GlobalFoundries, wayephoqelekile ukuthi anikeze i-IBM ngamaphrosesa iminyaka eyishumi, ayezokhiqizwa ezinkampanini zayo zangaphambili. Qaphela ukuthi ayikadluli iminyaka eyishumi kusukela ekupheleni kwesivumelwano, futhi i-GlobalFoundries isivele ithengisa enye yezinkampani ezingase zibandakanyeke ekugcwaliseni imigomo yenkontileka. Ngeke kukhishwe ukuthi manje wonke umthwalo uzowela ku-Fab 9, noma ukuthi ama-oda e-IBM azogcwaliseka kwamanye amabhizinisi e-GlobalFoundries.

Ngonyaka odlule, inkampani yavuma ukuthi iyenqaba ukusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-7nm ngenxa yezindleko eziphakeme zokufuduka okunjalo. I-AMD bekufanele ilinganisele ukusebenzisana kwayo ne-GlobalFoundries kumazinga obuchwepheshe avuthiwe. Ukuthi ukusebenzelana phakathi kwe-IBM ne-GlobalFoundries kuzothuthuka kanjani ezimweni eziyinkimbinkimbi kuzocaca njengoba sisondela esimemezelweni samaphrosesa amasha avela emndenini Wamandla. Umndeni we-IBM Power14 wamaphrosesa ukhiqizwa kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe be-9nm. Ezinye izethulo ezenziwe obala ngonyaka odlule zikhombise isifiso se-IBM sokwethula ama-Power10 processors ngemuva kuka-2020, ebanikeza ukwesekwa kwe-PCI Express 5.0, i-microarchitecture entsha kanye, nakanjani, nenqubo entsha yokukhiqiza.

Ingubo 8 ayishintshi abanikazi

Kufanele kuqondwe ukuthi esinye isikhungo se-GlobalFoundries esaziwayo esizinze eNew York, i-Fab 8, asifakiwe kulesi sivumelwano futhi sizoqhubeka nokukhiqiza amaphrosesa e-AMD. Lesi sikhungo sakhiwe ngemuva nje kokudluliswa kwezindawo zokukhiqiza ze-AMD zilawulwa yi-GlobalFoundries. Ochwepheshe be-IBM abasebenza eduze badlale indima ebalulekile ekuthuthukisweni kwe-Fab 8, futhi esigabeni esithile sokuthuthuka kwayo, le nkampani yayinezikhali ezithuthukisiwe zobuchwepheshe ngamazinga e-AMD. Manje ikhiqiza imikhiqizo engu-28-nm, 14-nm kanye ne-12-nm; I-GlobalFoundries ilahle izinhlelo zokuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe be-7-nm ngonyaka odlule. Lokhu kuphoqe i-AMD ukuthi ithembele ngokuphelele ku-TSMC ukukhulula ama-CPU angu-7nm nama-GPU. Kodwa-ke, abanye ochwepheshe bezimboni balindele ukuthi esikhathini esizayo amanye ama-oda e-AMD angase atholwe ingxenye yenkontileka yakwaSamsung Corporation.

Isithombe somnikazi omusha

I-ON Semiconductor inekomkhulu e-Arizona futhi iqashe cishe abantu abayi-1000. Inani eliphelele labasebenzi lidlula abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingama-34, Izigaba ze-ON Semiconductor zitholakala eNyakatho Melika, eYurophu nase-Asia. Izikhungo zokukhiqiza zitholakala eChina, eVietnam, eMalaysia, ePhilippines naseJapan. E-United States, izigaba ezimbili kuphela zenkampani zihlanganyela ekukhiqizeni: e-Oregon nasePennsylvania.

NGESIZULU imali engenayo yeSemiconductor ka-2018 ibingamabhiliyoni angama-5,9. Le nkampani ikhiqiza imikhiqizo yemikhakha yezimoto, ezokuxhumana, yezokwelapha nezokuvikela, futhi inentshisekelo emshinini wokuzenzakalelayo wezimboni, i-inthanethi Yezinto, futhi, ngokwezinga elincane, umkhakha wabathengi.
