OtherIndustry Alliance Agree on 32nm Process Tech Development, Manufacturing.IBM, Chartered, Samsung, Infineon and Freescale to Develop and Make 32nm ChipsCategory: Other by Anton Shilov [ 05/23/2007 | 06:20 PM ]
International Business Machines has signed an agreement with a number of partners on the so-called Common Platform technology, which would allow five of the company’s partners to use 32nm process technology developed collaboratively.
IBM’s partners are Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing and Samsung Electronics, along with joint-development alliance partners Infineon Technologies AG and Freescale Semiconductor. The joint development agreements between these companies will now include 32nm bulk complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process technologies and joint development of process design kits (PDKs) to support that technology. Building on the success of earlier joint development and manufacturing agreements at 90nm, 65nm and 45nm, alliance partners will be able to produce high-performance, energy-efficient chips at 32nm. The partners plan to pool their combined expertise and collaborate to design, develop and manufacture advanced technology through 2010. IBM, Chartered and Samsung, as Common Platform technology manufacturers, will be able to use the jointly developed 32nm process technology and design kits to synchronize their manufacturing facilities. This helps facilitate the flexibility to produce nearly identical chips for their respective high-volume OEM clients, who require a multi-sourcing model and expect early access to process technology. The five companies will work together to deliver industry-leading technology for high-performance and low-standby power products through:
