Three Japanese electronics giant jointly develop the next generation of semiconductor is

Japan's Toshiba Co and NEC electronics 9, announced that it will cooperate in the development of the next generation system LSI (LSI). As Toshiba Co is also working with Sony Corp to cooperate in this regard, so the Japanese electronics industry giants Toshiba, NEC and SONY jointly develop the next generation of semiconductors is a foregone conclusion.

In order to further realize the low price, high performance and low power consumption, it is necessary to improve the circuit integration. The large scale integrated circuit of the system is equivalent to the heart of the digital home appliances, such as flat-panel TVs, DVD players, digital cameras and so on. The current mainstream market system of large scale integrated circuit product line width is 90 nm, Toshiba, SONY teamed up with the Panasonic Corp are competing for mass production technology of the next generation linewidth of 65 nano products, Toshiba, SONY and NEC jointly developed is only 45 nm linewidth of the next generation of products.

Since the beginning of February last year, Toshiba Co has been working with Sony Corp to develop 45 nanometer semiconductor, NEC electronics company is expected to directly join the team. The 3 companies will jointly own a large scale integrated circuit of the 45 nm line, the world's most advanced product design, testing and mass production technology. In addition to the 3 companies together to strengthen technical strength, can also share the development and production of huge investment, against the United States and South Korea electronic enterprises spare no effort to catch up.
