Re: Is HiP8 still co-developed by Motorola and AMD? Is this also true for the integration of a hafnium oxide gate dielectric into a standard CMOS process? Would AMD have the right to use this process? Looks like more good news for AMD, and more bad news for Intel. Intel really dropped the ball on critical SOI technology. Remember Paul, Elmer, and Wanna_bmw chortling over AMD's decision to go all out on SOI over a year ago? That laughter has been muted. The seven year joint-development agreement between AMD and Motorola runs from 1998 to 2005. This is good news for Apple, too. Motorola's Semiconductor Products Sector and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) recently announced plans for a far-reaching strategic alliance that includes a patent cross-license agreement and collaborative development of common process technology platforms for microprocessors and embedded flash memory. Under the terms of the planned seven-year agreement, Motorola will license its current copper interconnect technology and High Performance Logic Process (HiPerMOS) to AMD. motorola.com.ph AMD, Motorola Ink Cross-Licensing Pact By Daniel Lyons As reported exclusively by itnews, two of Intel's largest rivals have formed an alliance to share technology. Advanced Micro Devices AMD and Motorola have announced plans for a strategic alliance that includes a patent cross-license agreement and collaborative development of common process technology platforms for microprocessors and embedded flash memory. Over the next seven years, the companies will collaborate on the development of logic process technology platforms featuring copper interconnects -- a technology crucial to the development of microprocessors with clock speeds exceeding 1GHz. Motorola will license its current copper interconnect technology and High Performance Logic Process (HiPerMOS) to AMD. This and other process technology platforms will be used to build Motorola's PowerPC processors and AMD's K86 processors. itnews.com.au

Re: Motorola expects to manufacture the technology on its fourth generation of copper interconnect. HiP8 supports dual/triple gate oxide, analog, and non-volatile memory modules, the company said, and is also designed to support a range of low power, high performance and silicon on insulator (SOI) applications. The technology is also able to support third party designs and libraries. Motorola also plans to present a paper this week describing the integration of a hafnium oxide gate dielectric into a standard CMOS process. Current leakage is reduced by a factor of 1,000 by switching from silicon dioxide to hafnium oxide, the company said, adding that this development will allow for further shrinking of CMOS devices." Maybe SUN will start using Motorola as a FAB partner, they could do worse.
