Joint Development Partners

The JDA technology alliance represents a successful semiconductor economic model, based on the support of open standards and collaboration. The alliance brings together leaders in the semiconductor industry to more efficiently solve today's R&D challenges, while sharing development costs and resources. Members of the JDA have teams of engineers working in Albany Nanotech and East Fishkill, NY, where the collaborative research for the joint development is performed.

STMicroelectronics announced participation in the multi-company Joint Development Alliance in July 2007 at the 32/28nm and 22 nm technology nodes. In early 2008, STMicroelectronics joined the other Joint Development Partners in bulk CMOS development for these technologies by establishing a research and development team in the IBM Semiconductor Research and Development Center in East Fishkill, NY and at Albany Nanotech in Albany, New York. IBM is cooperatively developing enhanced derivative technologies at ST's advanced development and manufacturing facility in Crolles, France.
