AMD and Fujitsu's Spansion joint Flash memory subsidiary reports that its Fab 25 flagship manufacturing plant in Austin, Texas, is now fully dedicated to producing 110nm floating gate Flash memory products for wireless and other markets.
This represents the fastest node transition in Spansion's history from development to world-class yields. Further, the move comes only two years after Fab 25's manufacturing process was fully converted from logic to memory.
The subsidiary believes that key success factor for the rapid transition is use of AMD's Automated Precision Manufacturing (APM) technology, a patented suite of more than 300 leading-edge fab automation, optimisation and real-time data analysis technologies used to reduce time-to-yield on new technologies and decrease manufacturing costs. APM was first developed and implemented in Fab 25 and expanded later to AMD's two factories in Dresden, Germany - Fab 30 and the upcoming 300mm Fab 36.
