TI and Sun rule out SOI wafers, but push
copper, CVD-based low-k for RISC chips

With 900-MHz UltraSparc III ready, the two partners set
targets for next-generation technologies

DALLAS -- Several months later than
originally planned, Texas Instruments
Inc. has qualified a 900-MHz 64-bit
RISC processor, with copper and
low-k interconnects, for volume
shipment to Sun Microsystems Inc.,
which will now use the central
processing units in workstations
within the next 90 days (see July 30
story).

The new UltraSparc III is TI's first
all-copper, low-k processor and the
latest step towards 64-bit RISC
chips that operate with speeds up to
1.5 GHz, according to a roadmap
disclosed by Sun last year (see Sept.
27, 2000, story). The roadmap last
fall showed the 900-MHz processors
to be ready for products in the first
quarter of 2001. Sun's roadmap
showed a 2.1-GHz UltraSparc V being
targeted for 2003..................
