A new semiconductor process that promises to be viable at 16nm - roughly half the size of today's state of the art technology.
While memory chips can currently be produced at 30nm and logic circuits at 42nm, Toshiba claims to have made a breakthrough in the use of strontium germanide to produce metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistors, or MISFETs, at 16nm or below.
Toshiba says its evaluating the process to design 16nm chips and smaller. The company will present a paper on the process at the 2009 VLSI Symposia in Kyoto, Japan later this week.
