AMD and memory, supplier of microprocessor, chip manufacturer strange to dream of, up to Announced a few days ago, had already established 32 nanometers and artificial project of the above CMOS chip jointly.

This plan is called SIMKON, aim at the early artificial stage in design cycle. In this way, through saving the new chip design and testing periodic design time and cost, will benefit from it in production and mask facility in Dresden in Germany of two companies. The artificial plan includes in lateral model of physics and emulation, and the material, structure and making technological process.


Through the artificial course, two companies can define and optimize the production process of nanometer ahead of time. AMD will use the simulation result to optimize 32 nanometers and the above node CMOS transistor arrangement of its. Strange to dream of Damien is too on the track of similar direction, and plan to guide DRAM chip fabrication into smaller wafer density.


Except that AMD and strange dream reach, and 9 universities and research institutes add to this project. This project still receives Germany's federal education and research department (BMBF) Investment support,project a portion when studying IKT2020,last 9 million euroes (about 12,300,000 dollars) BMBF .
