Sony, Toshiba Announce 65-Nanometer Semiconductor Process Technology

Toshiba and Sony said they have developed a process for developing advanced, single chip systems that will be about one-fourth the size of current devices and that will offer higher performance and more functions, while consuming less power. The companies say the new 65-nanometer system-on-chip devices will include the world's fastest switching speed, the smallest cell for embedded dynamic random access memory, and the smallest cell for embedded static random access memory. Most chipmakers are currently using 130-nanometer technology, however, Toshiba already offers 90-nanometer mass production technology. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter.
