APPENDIX E
HiP5L, HiP6L Program Plan - Rev. 2.0
Proposal for AMD Participation in Logic Technology Program
AMD proposes to participate in the joint Logic Technology proposal as described
below. The goal of the program is to complete production qualification of the
***** technology in Fab30 by the *****. The critical assumptions and milestones
proposed to achieve this are summarized as follows:
1) Motorola will provide AMD with all technology targets for HIP5L and HIP6L.
These are to include the ***** Motorola for HiP5L. This transfer should be
completed before *****. Motorola will provide the necessary information
early enough to allow AMD design engineers to meet the maskset tape out
dates for the HIP5L ***** and HIP6L ***** product vehicles.
2) A core management team will be defined with responsibility to ensure the
success of the joint technology programs. The team will be responsible for
understanding HIP5L progress to date and further defining a detailed
transfer methodology. The team will be also be responsible for identifying
shared development and transfer activities for HiP6L and insuring a
successful technology transfer to both MOS13 and Fab30. It is estimated that
the participation of four to six people from each company will be required.
3) AMD will provide Motorola with ***** technology to allow processing to begin
at Motorola by *****. This ***** will be one ***** AMD but ***** and will
include a ***** Motorola *****. Motorola will provide all necessary ***** to
enable measurement of ***** as included in this *****. This ***** will
establish a Fab30 startup vehicle and demonstrate the capability of *****
technology.
4) HIP5L transfer schedule will be such as to allow ***** in Fab30 by *****.
AMD and Motorola engineers will meet prior to ***** to define ***** and
facility requirements, and the ***** together with the identification of
***** HiP6L. AMD will assign integration and process engineers in Austin as
part of the technology transfer plan. These engineers will work together
with Motorola engineers to allow AMD to begin ***** Fab30 by *****.
5) AMD will provide Motorola with a ***** for HIP6L technology to allow *****.
This ***** will be one ***** AMD but ***** above. In addition, a joint
agreement on ***** HIP6L will be completed during ***** to
allow for AMD to begin Fab30 ***** and a ***** begin in *****. AMD and
Motorola will work towards developing a strategy and the creation of a *****
that will achieve *****
