| Freescale joins NANOCMOS European R&D program | | | |
AUSTIN, Texas – Freescale Semiconductor (NYSE:FSL, FSL.B), has joined NANOCMOS, an integrated project funded by the
European Commission’s Information Society Technologies Program.
NANOCMOS is pioneering innovations in materials,
processes, device architectures and interconnections to continue to push the limits of semiconductor performance and
density. Freescale’s participationwas approved by the project partners during the NANOCMOS general assembly, and
subsequently was validated by the European Commission.
NANOCMOS Project Leader Guillermo Bomchil
said, “The incorporation of Freescale in the project will help accelerate demonstration of the 45-nm CMOS technology
node. It should also enable the success of future developments that will focus on 32- and 22-nm geometries.”
With competence in advanced technology relevant for the 45-nm node and beyond, Freescale has
collaborated on research since 2002 as part of a technology development alliance in Crolles, France, between
Freescale Semiconductor, Philips, and STMicroelectronics. The Alliance recently announced at the 2005 VLSI Symposium
in Kyoto, Japan, the successful creation of an ultra-dense SRAM cell at the 45-nm node.
Within
NANOCMOS, Freescale will contribute to the development of new modules including new photolithography techniques,
optimized gate profiles, and improved isolation schemes. NANOCMOS also will benefit from Freescale’s expertise in
fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI).
“We are very pleased to join this key European
initiative,” said Freescale Chief Technology Officer Dr. Claudine Simson. “This announcement not only underscores
the value of Freescale’s technology achievements in nanoelectronics, but also recognizes our longstanding
participation and commitment to the European Research Area. It is a perfect example of trans-Atlantic cooperation
that will generate innovation and provide competitive leadership for all participants.”
Current
NANOCMOS partners are:
* STMicroelectronics, Philips, Infineon, and now Freescale
Semiconductor * CEA Leti (France) and IMEC (Belgium), the two largest European Technological Research
Institutes * Three research laboratories coordinated by the FhG (Germany) * Eight research
laboratories coordinated by the CNRS (France) * One research laboratory from the Technical University
of Chemnitz (Germany) * Ion Beam Services (France), ISILTEC (Germany), Magwel (Belgium) *
