UMC, one of the world's top chip foundries or companies that manufacturer chips under contract for others, says its getting ready to expand its 90-nanometer production capacity.

The 90-nanometer designation refers to the width of the smallest circuit lines on the chip. The actual features on 90-nanometer chips can be quite smaller, down to around 45 nanometers for some of ...

Currently, the fastest chips are made on the 130-nanometer process, which means that circuits inside the chip measure around 130 nanometers wide. By shrinking the average feature size to 90 ...

FREMONT, Calif. — Chip packing company ChipPAC Inc. has completed customer qualification of single-die and stacked-die packages for chips made with 90-nm manufacturing processes including copper and ...

The chips are also Intel’s first 90-nanometer products to hit the market. One of the benefits of shrinking chip-manufacturing technologies is the ability to put more transistors on a smaller ...
