IBM Announces System-In-A-Chip Advance

LONDON (Reuters) - International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM - news) announced Monday an advance in semiconductor technology that would allow entire electronic systems to be built on to a single semiconductor chip.

The so-called system-on-a-chip technology will enhance the performance of many electronic products -- including personal computers and mobile phones -- while also making the products both smaller and less expensive.

IBM, the world's biggest computer maker, said in a statement that it had found a way to put both logic and memory circuits on
a single piece of silicon.

Logic circuits process information and memory circuits store information, and both are used together to add ''intelligence'' to
electronic products.

''Until now, having processing power and data on separate chips was like having the materials you need to do the job in another office,'' Bijan Davari, vice president of development for the IBM Microelectronics Division, said in the statement.
