 Infineon has begun series production of 32-bit embedded flash microcontrollers for automotive applications. Infineon claims it is the world's first semiconductor manufacturer to achieve high-volume output of embedded flash products using 130nm technology.
The microcontrollers are manufactured at one of Infineon's two 200mm fabs in Dresden, Germany. Previously the 200mm fabs produced DRAM devices.
According to Christopher Hegarty, vice president and general manager, Microcontrollers, at Infineon's Automotive, Industrial and Multimarket business group, "Safety is priority number one in the automotive sector, but optimal safety is impossible without high product quality. About three years ago we have therefore established the most comprehensive quality management initiative in our sector, our Automotive Excellence Program. It aims to make zero-defect products a reality."
