An industry consortium that includes IBM, Chartered Semiconductor, Infineon and Samsung said this week they plan to make available the first silicon-functional circuits and design kits for 45-nanometer low-power process chip technology. The 45nm manufacturing process shrinks the gap between transistors on each chip further from 65nm and allows manufacturers to pack more transistors onto the devices. This makes possible more powerful chips that offer increased performance, improved memory and other advanced features for computers and a multitude of other electronic devices.
