IBM finishs industry unit of first 22nm SRAM is strong challenge Intel
August 30, 2008
IBM announces to had produced an industry the memory of static state of 22nm craft SRAM(with the first normal function) unit. Although the processor of corresponding craft just can come out after about 3 years even, but the 22nm processor of Intel also wants when by 2011, the lead position that because this Intel must pay more research and development,ensure oneself are consistent hard.
SRAM chip is the first kind of equipment of new technology of semiconductor industry experiment commonly, also be the key that marchs toward true microprocessor one pace. This byIBM, AMD, fly to science of rice of semiconductor of law of the Er that think of card, meaning, Toshiba, accept and project institute (CNSE)The 22nm SRAM chip that makes jointly used a convention6 transistor are designed, come in the cut on 300mm brilliant circle, itsThe area is only 0.1 square micron. Under photograph comparing, the 45nm SRAM unit area of Intel is 0.346 square micron.
Regretful is IBM did not publish any objective photographs, just say more detail will be on the meeting of technology of year of equipment of IEEE international electron that 15-17 day san Francisco will hold this year in December announce.
In fact, 22nm processor is apart from us to still have two generation, there still is 32nm before. Intel ever had revealed 32nm SRAM on the autumn IDF last year September, predict autumn IDF can take out prototype of first 32nm processor this year, and after 22nm SRAM should want one year.
IBM expresses at the same time, its 32nm craft goes well, will use the technology of grid of 32nm High-K metal with ” banner industry, OK without any enterprises or alliance compare ” .
The manufacturing technology of graphical chip will achieve 40nm first half of the year in next year, precede for the first time thereby processor, and in the process in competitive 32nm, 22nm, the alliance that IBM takes the lead also hopeful first time and Intel advance side by side- do two or more things at once.
