SMIC achieves silicon success with high-performance 45 nm process

摘要

The Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC) of China has completed its first 45 nm high-performance GP (generic process with high performance) yield lot.rnThe high-speed, high-performance 45 nm GP technology integrates a silicon-germanium stress module ino the design, letting the device run faster. This makes it suitable for a number of applications, including system-on-chip, graphics and network processors, telecommunications and wireless consumer products, as well as serving as a technology platform for the fast-growing Chinese market.
