Confidential
engineers will be assembled in AMD Austin for this task. The ***** will be
completed in time to tape out by ***** with the ***** by Motorola completed
by *****. Technical specifications and requirements for the *****,
particularly performance parameters, need to be specified by *****. Motorola
will have primary responsibility for the design of the *****. AMD will
assign engineers to support accomplishment of these tasks. Support will
consist of establishing feasibility of the design parameters of the ***** by
approximately ***** and making available the results of AMD's experience and
expertise in *****, with the goal of enabling demonstration of a functional
***** by *****.
6) AMD product engineering, with support from Motorola, will support ***** and
characterization, conduct ***** studies, participate in the design of the
***** for the product, as well as participate in the characterization and
qualification of the *****. Approximately three people will be assigned to
this task out of Sunnyvale and Austin. AMD will host some Motorola
engineering staff to learn this area.
7) SDC will provide silicon process support in two stages; ***** work to
understand ***** unique to AMD flash experience, and ***** parallel with
***** by Motorola for initial evaluation of full flow structures.
*****.
8) A ***** should be support by the *****, with completion by *****. A *****
should be completed by ***** based on product reliability testing and
characterization. Qualification criteria and specifications are to be
defined at the appropriate time by a team consisting of members form
technology, product, fab, reliability and quality, etc.
9) MOS12 will carry the product silicon processing, qualification material
processing and subsequent manufacture. MOS13 will support transfer to MOS12.
AMD will provide selected technical support necessary to help assure
successful qualification.
10) Product execution metrics are preliminary defined as set forth below. The
final definitions of the following metrics will be set forth in the
Comprehensive Agreement.
