At the same time, with the demand for communication capabilities in these markets, RF-SOI also has a good development in the 5G/4G market. According to Americo Lemos, RF-SOI has shipped more than 50 billion pieces and IP has 285. One.
In addition, Americo Lemos also said that the FD-SOI process has developed well in the Chinese market. In 2019, more than 50% of the 22FDX tapeouts were from Chinese customers, and the number also increased significantly compared to 2018.
Finally, Americo Lemos emphasized that although Global Foundries has been on the road to business transformation for the past two years, there are many strategic changes based on optimized structure and benefits, but the support for FD-SOI and the construction of the ecosystem will not stop.
