STM secures Additional Sourcing 
STMicroelectronics (STM) has announced that GLOBALFOUNDRIES has agreed to manufacture devices for ST using ST's proprietary Fully Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (FD-SOI) technology in both the 28nm and 20nm nodes.
  
ST FD-SOI technology has already been selected by ST-Ericsson for its use in the future mobile platforms, which will enable enhanced performance from the ST-Ericsson NovaThor platform with much less battery usage - as much as 35-per cent lower-power consumption at maximum performance.
  
"ST has demonstrated, with its partners, the significant performance and power advantages of FD-SOI over conventional technologies. FD-SOI is ideally suited for wireless and tablet applications, where it provides fully-depleted transistor benefits using conventional planar technology, and this arrangement with GLOBALFOUNDRIES ensures our customers will have a secure source of supply," said Joel Hartmann, STMicroelectronics Corporate Vice-President, Front End Manufacturing and Process R&D, Digital Sector.
"This announcement demonstrates the importance of collaboration in delivering innovative solutions on leading-edge technologies. We have a longstanding partnership with ST spanning joint R&D and manufacturing, as well as an unmatched heritage of expertise in SOI technology. We are pleased to be working with ST to bring this next generation of SOI technology to market and enable continued momentum in the mobile revolution," said Gregg Bartlett, Chief Technology Officer, GLOBALFOUNDRIES.
