Re: TSMC has stated that they won't be running test runs for 45nm until the end of the year. What? They've been targeting production - not just sampling, for this quarter since last year: TSMC plans to start by releasing a low-power version of its 45-nm process, followed by separate general-purpose and high-speed derivatives. Originally, the company had planned to move into "risk production" for its low-power 45-nm technology in next year's fourth quarter. Now, it has pulled in its introduction date and intends to move into risk production in the third quarter of 2007, said Shang-Yi Chiang, senior vice president of research and development at TSMC. eetimes.com And an update: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. (TSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM) today announced that it would complete 45nm technology qualification and enter production as early as September 2007. The new 45nm process combines the most advanced 193nm immersion photolithography, competitive performance-enhancing silicon strains, and extreme low-k (ELK) inter-metal dielectric material. tsmc.com If they're going to be in production of parts for their customers this quarter, it would be surprising if there weren't samples starting to make it to those customers around now.
