SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS), one of the world's premier technology
licensing companies, today announced it has been awarded a
GLOBALFOUNDRIES "Leading in Innovation" award at the Global Technology
Conference 2011 held in Santa Clara, California. GLOBALFOUNDRIES and
Rambus have been collaborating on the foundry's 28-nanometer super low
power (28nm-SLP) process, demonstrating the capabilities of one of the
most power-efficient and highest performance analog/mixed-signal
offerings for advanced system-on-chip (SoC) development.
"In a world of increasing complexity and competiveness, innovative
solutions that enrich the end-user experience are achieved through great
partnerships," said Sharon Holt, senior vice president and general
manager of the Semiconductor Business Group at Rambus. "Rambus'
partnership with GLOBALFOUNDRIES is an integral part of our ongoing
strategy to showcase our innovations and designs in silicon."
The 28nm-SLP technology is designed specifically for the next generation
of smart mobile devices, enabling designs with faster processing speeds,
smaller feature sizes, lower standby power and longer battery life. The
technology is based on bulk silicon CMOS substrates and utilizes high-k
metal gate (HKMG) technology for superior control of the channel, with
high on currents and low-leakage current. It enables full scaling from
40-nm in area and performance, including twice the gate density of
industry standard 40nm processes and an SRAM cell size shrink of more
than 50 percent.
"Rambus' collaborative approach is the cornerstone of our strong working
relationship that helps deliver innovative solutions to customers,"
stated Mojy Chian, senior vice president of Design Enablement at
GLOBALFOUNDRIES. "We are proud to honor Rambus with a ‘Leading in
Innovation' award for its dedication to driving innovations in
technology."

GLOBALFOUNDRIES 28nm-SLP process can be found in the companies' 28nm
