During Tuesday’s current trade, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation Limited (NYSE:TSM)’s shares gained 0.04%, and is now trading at $23.55, after Taiwan Semiconductor and Altera Corporation (ALTR), declared the two companies have produced an innovative, UBM-free (under-bump metallization-free) WLCSP (wafer-level chip scale package) technology that provides improved quality, reliability and integration for Altera’s MAX® 10 FPGA products.
This approach results in an extremely thin package height of less than 0.5mm (counting solder ball) that is ideal for applications where space is at a premium, such as sensor applications, small form-factor industrial equipment, and portable electronics. Other benefits comprise a better than 200 percent improvement in board-level reliability contrast to standard WLCSP, while enabling a large die size envelope and high package I/O count, targeting applications such as wireless LAN (WLAN) and power administration ICs (PMIC). Copper routing capability and inductor performance are also improved as a result of this breakthrough.
Altera’s MAX 10 FPGA products revolutionize non-volatile integration by delivering advanced processing capabilities in a single-chip, small-form-factor programmable logic device. Building upon the single-chip heritage of previous MAX device families, densities range from 2K – 50K logic elements (LEs), using either single or dual-core voltage supplies. MAX 10 FPGA devices are built on TSMC’s 55nm embedded NOR flash technology that enables instant-on functionality.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation Limited engages in the computer-aided design, manufacture, packaging, testing, sale, and marketing of integrated circuits and other semiconductor devices.
