AMD.com je napisao(la):AMD Demos Quad-Core 45nm Processors
AMD announced initial 45nm “Shanghai” and “Deneb” Quad-Core processors are running server and client operating systems, respectively, in development systems at AMD. The milestone was noted as momentum builds toward delivery of first AMD 45nm products to customers later this year.
AMD's 45nm process generation is engineered to enable greater performance -per-watt capabilities in AMD processors and platforms. At the heart of the process are a combination of leading edge technologies, such as immersion lithography and AMD’s 4th generation of strained-silicon.
The first AMD 45nm Quad-Core processors were manufactured in Fab 36 on 300mm wafers in Dresden, Germany.

Yahoo bizz news je napisao(la):HANNOVER, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AMD (NYSE: AMD) demonstrated at the CeBIT electronics exhibition its first 45nm quad-core chips running multiple operating systems and a range of processing intensive applications. The processors were produced in Dresden, Germany, in AMD’s Fab 36 300mm manufacturing facility, using an advanced 45nm process co-developed with IBM.
AMD 45nm transistors are engineered to enable greater performance-per-watt capabilities in AMD processors and platforms. AMD combines new processes and materials with leading edge technologies, such as immersion lithography and AMD’s fourth-generation strained silicon, for a highly-manufacturable, highly-efficient production process.
This important milestone is the first of many as AMD moves toward delivery of 45nm products later this year. The first 45nm chips demonstrated by AMD include the “Shanghai” product for server and “Deneb” for desktop platforms.

Q1: When will AMD introduce 45nm processors?
A1: AMD is on track to meet key production milestones, which support OEM and channel
product delivery plans. AMD is ramping production of its first 45nm products in the first
half of 2008 and expects 45nm products to be available in the second half of 2008.
Q3: What process improvements will AMD introduce at the 45nm node?
A3: At 45nm, AMD plans on introducing new leading-edge submicron technologies along with
significant improvements to existing ones. These enhancements are aimed primarily at
improving AMD’s transistor designs and interconnect circuitry to enable sustained linear
increases in processor and platform performance-per-watt, while also overcoming
inherent challenges introduced from continued reduction of transistor size.
Key innovations within AMD’s 45nm process are scheduled to include the following:
• Immersion Lithography. Through the IBM partnership, AMD has developed a
stable, highly-productive, immersion lithography process which achieves a 40 percent
gain in resolution over conventional lithography while maintaining yields consistent
with conventional lithography. Immersion tools are online and running wafers using
AMD’s 45nm technology. AMD’s analysis shows that immersion lithography is a more
efficient, cost-effective approach than the double-mask, double-etch lithography
method used by our competition.
• Fourth-generation Strained Silicon. AMD’s first 45nm product features transistors
using AMD’s fourth generation of strained silicon technology, utilizing Silicon
Germanium, Dual-Stress Liner and advanced Strain Memorization techniques for
increased switching speed and power-efficiency.
• Ultra-low-k Dielectrics. In some later 45nm products, AMD plans on using ultralow-
k dielectrics to reduce wire delays by as much as 15 percent and enable greater
overall processor performance.
• High-k/metal Gates. As part of AMD’s Continuous Transistor Improvement (CTI)
approach, AMD has the option to introduce high-k/metal gates into 45nm production
to further enhance transistor performance. The “gate first” approach, developed with
IBM, is designed to provide a simpler, less time consuming way to migrate to high-k
metal gate technology and secure benefits that include improved performance and
reduced power consumption.
