Intel sticks with aluminum at 0.18 microns

SAN FRANSISCO — Intel Corp. came to the 44th International Electron Devices Meeting with a description of the 0.18-micron process it will take into volume production next year with its Katmai processor. The delay per stage was reported to be less than 11 picoseconds at 1.5 V, which Intel claims is the best reported in the literature to date for a 0.18-micron process. The process was designed for operating voltages of 1.3 to 1.5 volts. And instead of using copper, the company is sticking wiht aluminum wiring, for now.
