TSMC, Philips, STMicroelectronics in advanced technology tie-up Tuesday March 5, 8:01 PM sg.news.yahoo.com Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) has struck an agreement with Royal Philips Electronics NV and STMicroelectronics to develop new microchip technology. They would work together for developing a new advanced 0.09 micron or 90-nanometer CMOS process technology, the TSMC said Tuesday. The team-up also included the development of CMOS processes to the next technology node at 65 nanometers and beyond, it said. Test devices for 90-nm have already been successfully fabricated by ST and Philips in Crolles, France, and by TSMC in Hsinchu, Taiwan, and prototyping of 90-nm products is expected to take place in the second half of 2002. "This collaboration with two of the worlds leading Integrated Devices Manufacturers (IDMs) allows TSMC to contribute its experience and strength in advanced technologies and extends its 90-nm technology alignment program," said Shang-Yi Chiang, senior vice president of research and development at TSMC. "Together with our partners, we are looking forward to proliferating this new 90-nm advanced CMOS process while achieving world-class yields."
