Huahong Semiconductor's Second Generation Of 90-nanometer Embedded Flash Memory Technology Platform Mass Production

Hua Hong Semiconductor Co., Ltd. today announced the successful mass production of its second-generation 90-nm G2 eFlash process platform with enhanced technical strength and competitiveness.

Based on the accumulation of the first generation of 90nm G1 eFlash process technology, Huahong Semiconductor has implemented various technological improvements on the 90nm G2 eFlash process platform. The 90nm G2 miniaturizes the Flash cell size, which is 25% less than that of the first generation, making it the smallest size embedded flash technology in the 90nm process node of the global foundry. In addition, the 90nm G2 incorporates a new Flash IP design architecture that delivers a very small area of low-power Flash IP while ensuring high reliability (100,000 writes and 25 years of data retention). As a result, the 90 nm G2 eFlash can significantly reduce overall chip area, resulting in more die on a single wafer, especially for chip products with high-capacity eFlash. It is worth mentioning that, 90nm G2 eFlash in the first generation based on the reduction of a layer of mask, making the manufacturing cost is lower.

Currently, the 90 nm G2 eFlash has achieved high yield and stable yield, and is successfully used for large-scale production of telecom card chips. It will also provide cost-effective chip manufacturing technology solutions for diversified products such as smart card chips, security chip products and MCUs .

"The successful production of the second generation of 90nm G2 eFlash technology marks another successful Hua Hong semiconductor in the feature-based embedded flash memory technology." Embedded non-volatile memory Technology is one of our strategic priorities and has long been recognized in the industry for its high level of security, high stability, cost performance, and advanced technology. As the world's leading smart card IC foundry, Hua Hong Semiconductor will continue its plowing and continuous development Optimize the process, upgrade platform, continued pilot smart IC card foundry areas, and vigorously force Internet of things, new energy vehicles and other high-growth emerging markets.
