Technology Overview

SMIC is the first Pure-Play Foundry in China to offer 28nm leading-edge advanced process technologies. SMIC's 28nm technology is a mainstream industry technology and consists of both conventional PolySiON (PS) and gate-last high-k dielectrics metal gate (HKMG) processes.

SMIC's 28nm technology had been process frozen in 4Q13 and had successfully entered the Multi Project Wafer (MPW) stage to support customer's requirements on 28nm HKMG processes. Multiple third-party IPs partners as well as SMIC's internal IPs are prepared to handle various projects from worldwide design houses.
