NEC, Sony and Toshiba goes for 45nm

NEC, Sony and Toshiba do “an Intel” and go for the next generation manufacturing process, 45nm. Intel has recently announced that it has managed to manufacture the first working 45nm circuits in its labs and now the boave mentioned trio has released information about its 45nm plans. We have earlier reported about NEC and Toshiba’s 45nm plans and now Sony is included as well. They have together announced plans to bring forth a working manufacturing process for making 45nm LSI circuits (Large-Scale Integration). The manufacturing will be done inside Toshiba’s Advanced Microelectronics Center in Yokohama, Japan. We should be able to expect products based on this new manufacturing process arrive on the market in a couple of years.
