ST Quits Digital IC Manufacturing Beyond 14 nm Node

Posted June 05, 2015 12:00 AM by Engineering360 eNewsletter

Europe's STMicroelectronics NV has decided to quit IC manufacturing beyond the 14 nm node. Like many other chip manufacturers, ST will depend on foundries for chip manufacturing beyond the 14 nm node. Speaking to financial analysts to discuss ST's first quarter 2015 results, ST CEO Carlo Bozotti said that ST has decided not to invest in the development of a 10-nm manufacturing process.

Maybe if they invested in better technical support and concentrated on selling what they make they'd do better.

About 15 years ago they actually had tech reps who knew their stuff and would hand out little development/demo boards and get you up and running.

Nowadays tech support consists of filling out some gobbledegook form full of irrelevant questions knowing that they'll never get back to you anyway...

then floundering around on a forum full of other lost souls... eventually you find the solution yourself in some confusingly named document that you stumbled across with the help of google... because the search engine on their site is about as much use as a chocolate tea pot.

Just sayin'
