At the Samsung Foundry Forum last year, Arm showcased its collaboration leading up to, and including, its successful 14nm FinFET partnership. Even at that time, the Artisan IP on Samsung Foundry’s 14nm node was in high volume production. Samsung Foundry gave us the opportunity to discuss what we saw in the markets beyond 14nm, including the automotive and Internet of Things (IoT) sectors. In the same event, Samsung Foundry showed a clear path down to smaller nodes using some incredible technology to print incredibly tiny features.

One year later, our collaboration continues with a broader scope and a faster pace than ever. Together, Arm and Samsung Foundry have just announced their plans for Artisan Physical IP at the 11LPP (11nm Low Power Plus) FinFET node. While 11LPP is firmly rooted in 14nm, the Artisan IP offering is broader and targets the more traditional markets for Arm and Samsung Foundry—mobile and high-performance networking—along with an expansion into the automotive and IoT markets.
