Cypress Semiconductor Corp. and United Microelectronics Corporation announces that Cypress’ 65nm and 40nm technology platforms are the industry’s
first to achieve Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) certification for their
advance product flows.
The next-generation 144-Mbit Quad Data Rate (QDR) II+,
144-Mbit QDR IV and 16-Mbit Asynchronous SRAM devices, manufactured at UMC’s
Fab 12A in Tainan, Taiwan, were qualified under the QML-V certification for
aerospace-grade applications.
QML certification is administered by the U.S.
Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime and represents one of the most
stringent quality procedures implemented by the U.S. government to
ensure reliable and controlled supply of microelectronic components.
