	65 nanometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The 65 nanometer (65 nm) process is (as of 2006) the most advanced lithographic node for volume semiconductor manufacturing, however it will soon be eclipsed when 45 nanometer lithography becomes commercially viable.
		For reference, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is around 120 nm in diameter, a human red blood cell typically 6000-8000 nm in diameter, and a human hair typically 80000 nm in diameter.
		Intel's Prescott core on its original 90 nm process was widely criticized at launch due to high leakage (and therefore heat output and power consumption).

		This new 65 nm (a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter) process combines higher-performance and lower-power transistors, a second-generation version of Intel's strained silicon, high-speed copper interconnects and a low-k dielectric material.
		The 65 nm semiconductor devices were manufactured at Intel's 300 mm development fab (called D1D) in Hillsboro, Oregon, where the process was developed.
		The 65 nm process is on track to be ramped into high volume in D1D and transferred to other 300 mm manufacturing fabs starting in 2005.

		The cores were produced using a 0.18 micrometre (180 nm) process and initially utilized Socket 423 on motherboards, later revisions moving to Socket 478.
		On February 1, 2004, Intel introduced a new core codenamed "Prescott." The core uses a 90 nm process for the first time, and "[it] is also a major reworking of the Pentium 4's microarchitecture - major enough that some analysts are surprised Intel didn't opt to call this processor the Pentium 5" ([4]).
		Expected in the first quarter of 2006 is Presler, which will be a 65 nm version of the Smithfield core.

	Moore's law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For a manufacturer competing in the cut-throat CPU market, a new product that is expected to take three years to develop and is just two or three months late is 10 to 15% slower, bulkier, or lower in storage capacity than the directly competing products, and is usually unsellable.
		As of Q1 2006, current PC processors are fabricated at the 90 nm level and 65 nm chips are just being rolled out by Intel (Pentium D and Intel Core).
		Companies are working on using nanotechnology to solve the complex engineering problems involved in producing chips at the 45 nm, 30 nm, and even smaller levels—a process that will postpone the industry meeting the limits of Moore's Law.

	Geek.com Geek News - AMD intends to close process gap at 65 nm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Despite this 8-month gap in the previous process release, AMD is confident that the gap between 65 nm releases will be much smaller, on the order of a couple months.
		Both companies originally proposed 65 nm production in the fourth quarter of this year, with AMD scheduled a few months behind Intel; but now Intel has upped its release schedule, putting 65 nm production in the third quarter of this year, a full quarter ahead of AMD's planned release.
		This time, however, Intel is not pursuing the dead-ended netburst architecture, which means the few months of lag between Intel and AMD 65 nm process releases may allow Intel enough time to regain the performance and/or value crowns.

		Even as firms strive to get a decent return on their 90-nm investment, the industry is already thinking about the migration to 65 nm.
		Even at 130 nm, making a mask with a 193-nm-wide beam of light is similar to trying to draw a draftsman's fine line with a kindergartener's crayon.
		And, even as MAD becomes a reality, the move to 65 nm will no doubt be fraught with technical and organizational surprises.

		Intel's newest, smallest chip is a fully functional SRAM (static random access memory) chip that uses a variety of technologies to achieve its goal of smaller, faster and more efficient.
		Its transistors measure 35 nm in gate length, making them the smallest CMOS transistors in general production, compared to the 50-nm transistors of Pentium 4 processors.
		And the 65-nm chip uses eight integrated copper interconnect layers and a "low-k" dielectric material that speeds up the signal inside the chip, which means processes inside in the chip require less power.

	Fujitsu at 90 nm tells us something about 65 nm CPUs - Beyond3D Forum
		PlayStation 3 will use 65 nm technology with a 45 nm die shrink expected relatively soon (Toshiba is building the 65 nm lines with the 45 nm shift in mind) and that indicates the chips used will be big.
		Tahir, IMHO delays on the 65 nm lines becoming fully operative is not the biggest concern right now (Toshiba should start mass-production fromthe new 65 nm lines on Oita #2 around Septmeber of next-year): CELL software development is.
		IIRC, the 65 nm manufacturing process SCE and Toshiba presented earlier this year (when they announced its completion) has some of the smallest SRAM cells and DRAM cells in the industry (even smaller than their direct competitor, in the Japanese 65n nm race, NEC).

		Indeed, there are no wrenching materials changes as IC designs migrate to 65 nm: A switch to nickel silicide from cobalt is the one big adjustment.
		Consumer devices today have a lot more functionality, and with 65 nm, the cost per transistor is going down.
		Intel was able to improve the channel length somewhat at 65 nm to get improvements in performance, but "the vast majority of the improvement comes from strained silicon," Holt said.

		Almost three months after our preview of Intel's 65 nm Presler dual-core processor, today marks the device's availability in retail channels.
		Intel has been receiving scathing criticism for its current desktop processor family, because all Pentium 4 and Pentium D processors consume clearly more energy than their AMD counterparts, while at the same time delivering less performance on average.
		The single core does not have significantly different performance compared to its 90 nm Prescott 2 MB counterpart, but power consumption of both single and double core solutions could be reduced significantly.

		While the attitude was positive, no one wanted to understate the work still to be done in making 65 nm a viable manufacturing technology.
		And those models are becoming so complex that they require early, intimate engagement between EDA developers and process developers, he said, warning that the EDA industry may have begun to work on 65 nm two years too late.
		Beyond 65 nm, Martin predicted, we would see new materials introduced again, particularly in the gate stack, with their attendant learning curves.
