Russian Electronics: Semiconductor and Processors

MOSCOW, 5 Jul — RIA Novosti. Russian manufacturer of microelectronics, the company "Angstrem", is negotiating the sale of the party circuits of class "Space" of Indian private firm, working on contracts with the space Agency ISRA, according to "Izvestia".
Russia for the year increased by half the production of chips for space
According to the publication, currently the parties are discussing the delivery to India of about ten thousand chips in the amount of about two hundred thousand dollars. Despite the fact that the Indian space program based on its own developments, the country does not have sufficient technology to create their own electronic component base and forced to buy electronics abroad.
To date, the Russian parts are tested, and if successful the parties will sign a contract for serial delivery. The cost of a single chip ranges from one to twenty dollars, according to "Izvestia".
The interviewed experts believe that the interest of India to the Russian microelectronics said about the speed of development of domestic high-precision production — a few years ago, Russia radiation-resistant chips are almost not developed.
According to Western classification IC class "Space" — a particularly reliable products for space applications that can withstand a wide range temperatures and increased radiation. A distinctive feature is their makasarili, and the price of copies of the piece can reach tens of thousands of dollars.

Russia to allocate $2.5 bln to develop microelectronics industry — PM

"Fairly huge amounts are allocated for these goals," Medvedev said. "Total financing of programs from the federal budget will be over 170 bln rubles ($2.5 bln), for the period from 2013 to 2025," he said.

At the same time, the share of national electronics should grow 1.5 times on the national market and the share of export - by 3.5 times, Medvedev said.
"Target figures are in place: the share of domestic radio electronics should grow 1.5 times on the domestic market, at least to 36% by 2025, while export should be up 3.5% times against the year of 2015, that is, by 350%," he added.
Guaranteed government procurements of domestic microelectronics will amount to 75 bln rubles ($1.1 bln) by 2018 year-end.

Export problems

According to the premier, growth rate of the Russian microelectronics industry is about 10% per year but a problem with export exists.
"The segment is developing fairly quickly at large; the annual growth rate is about 10%," the PM said. "However, problems are also in place: production is largely focused on domestic consumers for the time being," Medvedev added.

The microelectronics segment determines the development area of industrial technologies for coming decades, the premier said. "Its development is of particular significance for the economy and for security provision," he said.
Russian electronic products are largely focused on the domestic market but export should also be taken into consideration, Medvedev said.
"Less than 25% of products are exported so far," he said. "The share of Russian products on the domestic market has not yet become material; it is 20%," he added

Russian made 'iPhone' to be released in 2018, price tag starting from $130

MOSCOW, September 22. /TASS/. Russia plans to release smartphones that will be comparable with iPhone in terms of quality but cost much less than the original US device, head of Ruselectronics Igor Kozlov told reporters on Thursday.
Ruselectronics will produce the Russian "iPhones’.
"In 2018, we will have our own, domestic iPhone, which will cost only about $130," Kozlov said.
The Ruselectronics holding company was set up in the early 2009 on the base of the state holding with the same name. It is part of the state-owned corporation Rostec.
The holding unites enterprises specializing in the design and manufacture of electronic components, products, materials and equipment for their manufacture, as well as microwave devices and semiconductor devices.
The company raises 15% of its revenues from civilian products and 85% from military products. Currently, Ruselectronics is in the process of restructuring and plans to strengthen its department for production of civilian products. By 2025, civilian products will account

We don't know.

I think it is a mixture of both.

I don't think anyone at the micron chasing any smaller pattern than 90nm for space apps and low volume ICs.

By decreasing the size the cost of designing the chip for the manufacturing process exponentially increase, it next to nothing on 90nm, and 700 million $ on 11 nm.

In the space the speed doesn't matter that much , the downstream bandwidth is the limitation.

If they can manufacture all ICs on 90 nm then there can be the next step to smaller patterns.

But anyway, there are informations about russian request to use CCDs on the open sky aircrafts, and now numerous information about new satellite projects.

Means either they found a new source of radhard ICs, or the can manufacture them.

About selling spaced based electronics to India. The machines to make mean has been in Russia since 2013. As well, they already make 90nm tech at 300mm and 65nm at 200mm. Angstrom T makes it and has been making Elbrus 2C+ at the site for military purposes. Same with space based chips from elvees and Micran.

Anyway, it isn't like I need to convince you, when you are perfectly capable of checking Rostec.ru and other sites. Even some members here posted the news about transistors an , alike made by Russia for space.

Also. Check out elvees and mikran. Both make space base d IC. Angstrom T makes 90nm chips and is the one offering space based to India. I think you're smart enough to put two and two together.

You can't make effective shielding.
To have the similar lifetime like a radhard ic you need 10 cm of lead.At least.

there is same info about 180nm radhard russian components here:
http://zeptobars.com/en/read/open-microchip-asic-what-inside-II-msp430-pic-z80

But seems like the investment that Ru started after the georgian war getting close to make results, if they can make satelites.

Prior of 2014 75% of tge radhard electronics in satelites come from us/eu.

That was the reason why they bined the glonass k2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLONASS-K2

So, if russia planning new military satelites THEN they  must be comfortable with availability of radhard high speed components.
Either from china or from domestic sources.

But there is no info about MRAM , or the new 90nm plants.

This is old stuff.

Seems like it is good for nuclear warheads / simple satelite control systems.

The interesting is radhard big CCDs,high speed CCD interfaces, memorys,NVrams, flahs rams, poer transistors and high speed commuiaction circuits.


For example an early warning sateliet they need radhard cooled infra red sensors, high speed data and radio circuits, from the new 90/65nm plant.
