UMC created 45 nm memory chips

United Microelectronics Corporation, one of leaders in semiconductor secto announced that they succesfully created 45 nm SRAM memory chips. They are being manufactured by special technique, using extremly clean water between optics and 300 mm silicone waffer. Also new special materials (low k dielectric) and new technologies (ultra shallow junction) are being used. By UMC that results in 50% smaller memory cells than when 65nm process is being used, and they are 30% faster. Just they didnt said how long it will take to prepare whole technology to be used in mass manufacturing.
