Intel's first 45 nanometer chip technology detonated new competition

Day ago from Intel (China) company was informed that Intel has been the first in the world to create the first 45 nanometer process chip. From 130 nm to 90 nm, 65 nm, the latest of the 45 nm, chip manufacturers will chip manufacturing process competition step by step. In earlier this month, NEC electronics company, Sony Corp and Toshiba Co also announced: three parties have reached an agreement, jointly developed based on 45 nanometer process of a new generation of large scale integrated circuit processing system.

According to reports, the Intel successfully produced the world's first 45 nanometer process technology full function SRAM (static random access memory) chip, 45 nanometer process technology was widely applied to the manufacturing of Intel's next generation chip. "Intel's latest chip has only the size of the nail, but it contains more than 1 billion transistors. These transistors are only 45 nanometers square, smaller than the red blood cell about 1000 times." Intel Engineer Mark Pohl revealed that Intel will start production in the second half of 2007 45 nm processor. It is reported that Intel from the beginning of last year, the production of 65 nanometer chips, which is currently the world's most advanced chip production technology.

With the continuous development of digital consumer, mobile phone and communication applications, in order to achieve higher performance and more functions, puts forward higher requirements for the large scale integrated circuit system with complicated technology, faster data processing speed, less power consumption and chip size. In order to meet these requirements, the miniaturization of processing technology becomes more and more critical and complex. The development of large scale integrated circuit system processing technology requires huge investment in R & D resources. Many semiconductor companies around the world are working closely together to develop more efficient. Therefore, NEC electronics company, Sony Corp and Toshiba Co only three joint development of a new generation of large-scale integrated circuit processing technology based on the 45 nanometer technology. Allegedly, through the integration of three party research and development resources, NEC electronics, SONY and Toshiba will improve the efficiency of development, accelerate the development process, faster realization of large-scale integrated circuit processing technology based on 45 nanometer technology.
