GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Mentor Collaborate to Launch New Semiconductor Verification Solution Embedded with Advanced Machine Learning Capabilities September 24, 2020 New industry-leading ML-enhanced DFM solution for designing on GF 12LP+ platform can provide customers with a more efficient experience and contribute to a faster time to market Santa Clara, Calif., September 24, 2020 – GLOBALFOUNDRIES® (GF®), the world’s leading specialty foundry, today announced at its annual Global Technology Conference (GTC) a significantly enhanced design for manufacturability (DFM) kit embedded with advanced machine learning (ML) capabilities. Developed in collaboration with Mentor, a Siemens business, the new industry-leading ML-enhanced DFM solution, built on Mentor’s Calibre® nmDRC platform, can provide customers with a more effective design and development experience and, ultimately, contribute to a faster time to market. The new ML-enhanced DFM kit is launching as an update to the process design kit (PDK) for GF’s 12LP+ differentiated semiconductor solution. Built on a proven platform with a robust production ecosystem, 12LP+ is optimized for artificial intelligence (AI) training and inference applications, and is currently ready for production at GF’s Fab 8 in Malta, New York. GF’s new ML-enhanced DFM solution is among the first of its kind in the industry. GF plans to roll out the capability to the PDKs of its 12LP and 22FDX® semiconductor platforms in Q4 2020. “We are excited to launch this new enhancement, infused with advanced machine learning models, and provide our customers with a quicker overall DFM verification and an even more effective design experience – all toward the goal of successful prototyping and a faster time to market,” said Jim Blatchford, vice president of Technology Enablement at GF. “Our close partnership with Mentor helped enable the new enhancement to be seamlessly integrated into our 12LP+ PDK, and we look forward to rolling out additional machine learning-infused capabilities in the PDKs for our other specialty semiconductor solutions.” “We are pleased to partner with GLOBALFOUNDRIES to incorporate machine learning based models into Calibre nmDRC for GF’s 12LP+ platform,” said Michael White, director of Physical Verification Product Management, Calibre Design Solutions, at Mentor. “Working together with GLOBALFOUNDRIES, we have incorporated machine learning into the design flow to help create a seamless transition for our mutual customers.” Following its founding in 2009, GF has pioneered a DFM checking platform, called DRC+, which combines pattern-matching tools from electronic design automation (EDA) software suited with a proprietary library of yield detractor patterns. DRC+ enables chip designers to preventively detect defective patterns, or hotspots, in early designs that could lead to manufacturing defects. GF and Mentor have partnered to integrate GF-developed ML models into DRC+, to help amplify the ability of DRC+ to recognize new and previously unseen hotspot patterns and improve production yield. Trained by GF on silicon data collected during its manufacturing operations, the new ML-enhanced DFM kit has been validated and qualified to enable chip designers to more successfully discover and mitigate potential problems early in the design process. Catching and addressing these hotspots in the development phase is critical for designers as they progress toward successful prototyping and scale manufacturing. GF 12LP+ Ready for Production Engineered to meet the specific needs of the fast-growing AI market, GF’s 12LP+ offers best-in-class combination of performance, power, and area. Contributing to this are new features including an updated standard cell library, an interposer for 2.5D packaging, and a low-power 0.5V Vmin SRAM bitcell that supports the low latency and power-efficient shuttling of data between the AI processors and memory. 12LP+ builds upon GF’s established 14nm/12LP platform, of which GF has shipped more than one million wafers. By partnering closely and learning from AI customers, GF developed 12LP+ to provide greater differentiation and increased value for designers in the AI space while minimizing their development and production costs. Driving the enhanced performance of 12LP+ are features including a 20-percent SoC-level logic performance boost over 12LP, and a 10-percent improvement in logic area scaling. These advancements are achieved in 12LP+ through its next-generation standard cell library with performance-driven area optimized components, single Fin cells, a new low-voltage SRAM bitcell, and improved analog layout design rules.

GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Movano Inc. Partner to Advance Needle-Free Continuous Glucose Monitoring Technology September 24, 2020Manufactured on GF’s 22FDX platform, Movano’s radio frequency-enabled solution will help individuals to manage their glucose levels anywhere, anytime Pleasanton and Santa Clara, Calif., September 24, 2020 – Movano Inc., a health-focused technology company developing non-invasive solutions to enhance the quality of life for people affected by chronic health conditions, today announced a strategic collaboration with GLOBALFOUNDRIES® (GF®) to advance the commercialization of Movano’s wearable, non-invasive continuous glucose monitor (CGM), which is currently in development. The announcement was made at GF’s annual Global Technology Conference (GTC). Movano’s novel approach to glucose monitoring is based on its patent-pending radio frequency (RF) sensor platform, which is built on GF’s 22FDX® (22nm FD-SOI) solution, to enable the creation of high performance and small form-factor sensors that are low-power and cost-effectively manufactured at scale. “The last few months have spurred a growing need for technology that supports virtual care to keep people with chronic conditions healthy and out of doctors’ offices and hospitals. For people with diabetes and prediabetes, this means we need to significantly bring down the costs and make CGMs much more appealing for people to use and wear,” said Michael Leabman, founder and CEO of Movano. “Building our CGM on GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ 22FDX platform will allow us to do just that. In addition to supporting what will be a cost-effective and very scalable production of our CGM, GF’s platform will be critical for ensuring that the performance and power efficiency of our device is second to none.” Movano’s non-invasive CGM is made up of ultra-wideband multi-antenna RF technology, machine learning, and the cloud. Technology embedded in the wearable device leverages the best-in-class performance, power consumption, and broad feature integration capability of GF’s differentiated 22FDX platform, which is the solution of choice for designers and innovators working in Internet of Things (IoT), 5G mmWave, Edge AI, and other applications. “Movano is an innovative startup, working at the forefront of digital care and the Internet of Things to help individuals manage chronic health conditions,” said Mike Hogan, senior vice president and general manager of Automotive and Industrial Multi-Market at GF. “This collaboration leverages GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ clear leadership in RF and world-class manufacturing expertise, and is the latest example of why designers across a range of industries and applications are turning to 22FDX for its differentiated performance, flexibility, and low-power benefits.” GF’s 22FDX solutions, including the RF sensor for Movano’s CGM, are manufactured on GF’s state-of-the-art 300mm production line at Fab 1 in Dresden, Germany.
