GlobalFoundries unveils 7nm-class FDX Fusion node

Original: GlobalFoundries unveiled the 7nm-class FDX Fusion node based on fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) technology.

GlobalFoundries has announced a 7nm-class process called FDX Fusion, built on fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator technology. The company, which stepped back from leading-edge FinFET development years ago, is positioning the planar transistor node for automotive, edge AI and industrial chips rather than smartphones. Commenters in the semiconductor community are watching to see whether FD-SOI can stay competitive at advanced nodes.

Why now: A major chipmaker is offering an alternative path to 7nm without FinFETs, which is notable given industry consolidation around extreme ultraviolet lithography.
