SMIC expands core offerings
Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp has licensed the ARM926EJ microprocessor and its associated Embedded Trace Macrocell (ETM9) on-chip debug peripheral
The ARM926EJ processor will be implemented in a 0.13-micron process, and will enable SMIC to respond to increased demand for foundries capable of manufacturing ARM9 family-based SoC solutions. "China is an increasingly important supplier of semiconductors to both Chinese and international electronics manufacturers", said James Sung, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at SMIC.

"Because of the sharp growth in the electronics market, the sophistication of Chinese semiconductor designs is increasing at an unprecedented rate".
"Domestic fabless semiconductor companies demand a local manufacturing partner for complex SoCs, particularly in 0.13-micron process".
"This new licence leverages SMIC's expertise in ARM microprocessor-based implementations and satisfies our customers' requirements".
Today's announcement marks the third product in the ARM roadmap to be licensed by SMIC.
The foundry licensed the ARM7TDMI processor in July 2003 and the ARM922T processor (plus ETM9 software) in March 2004.
"This extension of ARM's already strong relationship with SMIC will offer our fabless semiconductor partners in the ARM Foundry Programme rapid access to design, debug, and advanced ARM implementation technology", said Jun Tan, President, ARM China.
"Together, ARM and SMIC will continue to support the development of the Chinese electronics industry".
SMIC expects to have silicon-proven implementations of the ARM926EJ processor in 0.13-micron process available by Q1 2005.
