Cypress Semiconductor and United Microelectronics Corporation today announced that Cypress’ 65nm and 40nm technology platforms are the industry’s first to achieve Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) certification for their advance product flows.

The next-generation 144-Mbit Quad Data Rate (QDR) II+, 144-Mbit QDR IV and 16-Mbit Asynchronous SRAM devices, manufactured at UMC’s Fab 12A in Tainan, Taiwan, were qualified under the QML-V certification for aerospace-grade applications. QML certification is administered by the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime and represents one of the most stringent quality procedures implemented by the U.S. government to ensure reliable and controlled supply of microelectronic components.
