Jan. 26, 2006 – Intel Corp. announced it has reached an important milestone in the development of 45nm logic technology by producing fully functional static random access memory (SRAM) chips using 45nm process technology, its next-generation, high-volume semiconductor manufacturing process.
The company said in a news release that achieving the milestone means Intel is on track to manufacture chips with this technology in 2007 using 300mm wafers.
Today Intel is currently in volume production of semiconductors using 65nm process technology, with two manufacturing facilities making 65nm chips in Arizona and Oregon and two more coming online this year in Ireland and Oregon.
