IBM's 'fab club' tips high-k at 32-nm

jmke · 11th December 2007, 10:57

IBM Corp. and its joint development partners -- AMD, Chartered, Freescale, Infineon and Samsung -- have extended their high-k/metal gate technology efforts to the 32-nm node.

IBM and its partners have been working on high-k/metal gate technology for the 45-nm node. It's unclear if that technology is in production at the 45-nm node. No announcements have been made in the arena.

Now if AMD can just survive without mounting losses until they can switch to this high-k 45nm process in late 2008, they should be able to fix a few of their yield/thermal/leakage problems all in one swoop.
