Infineon, IBM And Chartered Look To 65nm And Beyond
The multi-year engagement will use Infineon's low-power silicon expertise with IBM's leading process technology and Chartered's efforts to create a common foundry process platform that scales from 90nm through next-generation 65nm technology and provides a path to 45nm.
The development includes variants tuned for high performance and low power. The companies have also agreed to work together with third-party providers to make a robust ecosystem of optimised design tools.
Both IBM and Chartered plan to have the jointly developed 65nm process installed in their respective 300mm fabs and to be in a position to support Infineon's outsourced demand for 65nm products.
The work will be conducted in IBM's Advanced Semiconductor Technology Center (ASTC 300) 300mm development lab in East Fishkill, New York, which began operations last month. Nearly 200 engineers from the three companies will work together to define the process technologies.
AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!
AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!
Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.
2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.
We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.
We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.
Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.
Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.
So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
