Google recently provided 130nm process and 90nm processOpen source chip design services, currently alsoCollaborate with GlobalFoundries, the world's fourth largest chip foundry.
Prior to this, Google had collaborated with SkyWater Technology to provide a 130nm process, and through the 90nm FDSOI CMOS process proposed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory, designers can design chips with more complex circuits, corresponding to higher execution speeds and lower power consumption.
The collaboration with GlobalFoundries will also operate in an Apache 2.0-compliant web server environment, and through GlobalFoundries' 180MCU technology platform, companies using this service will be able to build chips using a 180nm process.
Just as many chips are still produced using the 130nm process, the current global annual production of chips using the 180nm process is approximately 1600 million, so there is still obvious demand. GlobalFoundries even expects this number to increase to 2026 million by 2200, which can be used for the design of motor equipment control components, RFID components, microcontrollers, power management chips, etc.
