45 nm has come from the front of the house Infineon temporarily not enabled

Although Infineon did participate in the 45 nm node technology development, but the company does not plan to adopt this technology in its own factories. On the contrary, Infineon will only design 45 nanometer devices, and get to other places for production. According to the company's board member Hermann Eul said that at least the company has the above consideration.

Chartered, IBM, Infineon and Samsung composed of Technology Alliance announced the launch of the day before the chip 45 nanometer process technology of the first function based on Infineon, which is also one of the partners. Infineon contributed 45 standard components and I/O circuits for the chip.

However, the members of the board of directors of Hermann Eul said that at present does not intend to adopt the Infineon 45 nanotechnology in its own factories. Hermann Eul said: "according to the future market development, Infineon will decide its own factory strategy later." At present, the company outsourced some of its manufacturing operations to Semiconductor (Chartered).

"We now have the first 45 nanometer chip," said Hermann Eul in the introduction of Infineon's roadmap. "The first 65 nanometer products are expected to be ready for sale by the end of 2006, and we are expected to launch a new product of about 45 in early 2009." Hermann Eul said that Infineon plans to first use 45 nanometer technology in mobile applications. However, the company's mainstream storage business is currently with the independence of Qimonda and broke out, Infineon is no longer involved. The Infineon and franchise, IBM and Samsung jointly developed 45 nanometer technology is particularly used in logic applications.

Technology development and independence of Qimonda company as early as a few years ago and Infineon to remain independent, because the logic device storage products supplier in the technology roadmap is completely different. Currently, Qimonda mass production products based on 90 nanometer architecture, based on the production of nano scale in the 75 quarter of this year will start in the fourth quarter. The next step is 58 nm and 48 nm, respectively. The spokesman did not further explain the specific timetable for these nodes.
