March 5, 2004 – Samsung Electronics has joined IBM, Chartered, and Infineon in efforts focus on 65nm CMOS logic processes, eventually including 45nm process development.

The trio announced last fall their joint efforts on the project, combining Infineon’s low-power silicon expertise with IBM’s process technology and Chartered’s foundry platform, at IBM’s 300mm Advanced Semiconductor Technology Center in East Fishkill, NY.

In a separate deal, IBM said it will license 90nm CMOS logic technology for use in Samsung’s SoC product line used in high-def TVs, DVD players, and mobile applications.
