("Hua Hong Semiconductor" or "Company", together with its subsidiaries, collectively the "Group", stock code: 1347.HK) announced today that the Company's announcement of the Company's Microcontroller Unit (MCU) market, the latest launch of 95 nm single insulated gate non-volatile embedded memory (95 nm 5V SG eNVM) process platform. In ensuring the stability of the product at the same time, 95 nm 5V SG eVM process platform for its low power consumption, low cost advantage, widely favored by customers. The platform has been successfully mass production, product performance.

All the Internet era, 8-bit MCU continues to introduce new, shipments are gradually rising, in the industrial control, Internet of Things, automotive electronics, consumer electronics and many other fields are widely used. According to the IHS forecast, the 8-bit MCU market will continue to grow. By 2020, the market size of the 8-bit MCU will reach US $ 6.1 billion, and the demand will reach nearly 17 billion. The market demand will be strong. Huahong Semiconductor homeopathic launch 95 nm 5V SG eVM process platform, to provide customers with cost-effective manufacturing process to help customers in the huge 8-bit MCU application market to improve competitiveness.

Huahong Semiconductor's 95nm 5V SG eNVM process has a smaller footprint and a lower read power (50μA / MHz) by optimizing the structure and IP design of the cell, and the device's static power consumption, Ioff, is only 0.5pA The CPU core speed of 50MHz, fully meet the needs of 8-bit MCU product applications. In the design, the process also supports the integration of electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) and flash memory (Flash) single IP design, the EEPROM's high performance and Flash area advantage embodied in an IP, compared to Two IP design, significant savings in area cost. At the same time, the use of a competitive number of mask layers, three layers of metal minimum mask layer only 19 layers. In addition, in the field of relatively large analog applications, Hua Hong Semiconductor's 95-nanometer single-5V voltage process also has a large cost advantage. The platform to maintain good performance while both high reliability, data retention time of more than 30 years, repeat the number of erase more than 50 million times.

"Huahong Semiconductor strives to maintain its global competitive advantage in eNVM technology and has achieved good results in smart card and MCU markets in recent years," said Dr. Kong Weiran, Executive Vice President of Hua Hong Semiconductor. "The launch of the 95nm 5V SGNVM technology, Safe and reliable cost advantage, making it the preferred manufacturing process for winning the 8-bit MCU market. "He further noted that" Hua Hong Semiconductor also has a variety of MCU needs subdivision eFlash / eEEPROM process platform, we can lead Of the embedded storage technology and CMOS RF integration and / or high-voltage LDMOS technology combined to greatly increase the number of available MCU solutions.Hua Hong Semiconductor will meet the market demand, continuous technological innovation, is committed to providing customers with lower power consumption, more High performance, more secure and reliable cost-effective MCU solutions.
