IBM ADVANCES COMPUTER CHIP TECHNOLOGY USING COPPER

NEW YORK (AP-Dow Jones)--IBM has found a way to make computer
chips with copper instead of aluminum, a breakthrough designed
to speed up computers and make them more affordable.

Copper carries electrical signals faster than aluminum, long the
industry standard, but is harder to apply to the silicon surface
of each chip.

International Business Machines Corp Monday plans to announce it
will start selling copper chips early next year.

Switching metals could speed a microprocessor up to 40% while
cheapening its manufacturing cost by up to 30%, resulting in
computers that think faster and store more information, it said.
