TSMC Storms IEDM realworldtech.com me: Sounds good. TSMC and SPSN are partners in developing future process technology. This should also be good for AMD. More in the article besides what's below. Article: In session 10.1, TSMC presented its 45 nm process technology, utilizing the 193-nm ArF immersion lithography and nitrided oxides as the gate dielectric. TMSC demonstrated NFET/PFET drive current performance of 1200/750 uA/um Idsat at 100 nA/um Ioff and 1.0V Vdd. Despite the lower reported drive currents relative to Intel’s 45 nm process technology, TMSC was able to – perhaps illustrating the capability of the 193-nm immersion lithography - attain finer geometries relative to Intel’s 45 nm process technology. For example, TSMC reported physical gate length of 30 nm relative to Intel’s report of 35 nm gate length, and TSMC further reported that its 45 nm process is able to support SRAM cells sizes ranging from 0.202 um2 to 0.324 um2. Specifically, TSMC reported a functional 32 Mb SRAM test chip with cell size of 0.242 um2. This reported cell size is substantially smaller than the SRAM cell size of 0.346 um2 reported by Intel for its 45 nm process technology.
