First news post. Pleash don't kill me if I dids something wrong.Globalfoundries now plans on implementing 14nm FinFET transistors in 2014, using the same "middle of line" and "back end" processes it is using for its 20nm production next year. As a result, Subramani "Subi" Kengeri, vice president of design solutions, says the foundry believes its customers will be able to reuse the bulk of their designs for 20nm and move to 14nm very easily. He said there are around 7,000 design rules for chip companies in creating 20nm chips and that will carry over to the 14nm generation. There are only about 60 new design rules for the FinFETs. Thus, this should help companies leverage their designs among the two generations.
