Ian, this was in the article you posted about IBms breakthrough technology
"IBM will also unveil something called a "buried vertical transistor,"
a design method that, much like terraced farmland allows for more
plantings than do flat fields, will increase the acreage available on
the surface of a chip for transistors. Co-developed with Infineon
Technologies AG, a German semiconductor concern, the vertical
transistor will be used for DRAM, or dynamic random access
memory, memory cells, and will target high-performance hubs and
routers, the gear that directs Internet traffic."
It looks like this chip for routers and hubs was codeveloped with infineon-- Im wondering whose machines were used as infineon has used mtsn strip and cvd before, steve |
