UMC confirmed that it has delivered what it claims are the world's largest 65nm FPGAs to programmable logic company Xilinx.
According to UMC, the new devices deliver a 65 percent logic capacity increase over previous generation FPGAs to allow the industry's highest gate count, with approximately 1.1 billion transistors. The chips, which feature triple gate oxide technology and 11 copper metal layers, have demonstrated "excellent initial yields" and are expected to be ready for full production in several months, UMC said.
"This demonstrates the confidence that customers have in the competitiveness of our 65nm process," Jackson Hu, chairman and CEO of UMC, said in a statement. "UMC's longstanding partnership with Xilinx continues to strengthen with each technology generation, with this latest product success representing yet another significant milestone for our two companies."
