Moreover, a more competitive mask layer - with only 19 layers of mask for 3-layer metal, delivers obvious benefits in manufacturing cost. In terms of application, specifically for chips that have a larger analog circuit area, the 95nm 5V SG eNVM process from Hua Hong Semiconductor delivers great cost benefits, including guaranteed performance, high reliability, a data retention duration of more than 30 years, and the capability to endure more than 500,000 write/erase cycles.

"Hua Hong Semiconductor strives to maintain its global competitive edge in the field of eNVM technology, and has achieved excellent results in the smart card and MCU markets in recent years," said Dr. Kong Weiran, Executive Vice President of Hua Hong Semiconductor.
