Fujitsu Laboratories Develops Power-Saving CMOS Technology for 32nm-Generation and BeyondFujitsu Laboratories Limited announced today the development of power-saving CMOS technology for logic LSI chips for 32 nanometer- (32nm-) generation and beyond. The new technology enables employment of a specific silicon crystal surface, which previously had not been applied in silicon substrates due to the crystal surface's conventionally low performance in the past, by improving its performance. As a result, as a world's first, the technology makes it possible to use current 45nm-generation fabrication facilities to reduce LSI power voltage without lowering operation speed, thereby containing production costs and cutting LSI power consumption during operation by approximately 20 percent (20%). It is anticipated that the technology can be used in a wide range of applications, such as system LSIs for various mobile devices that will need to be increasingly multi-functional, and for microprocessors of which many are running with multiple processing cores.

Singapore, Jun 03, 2008 — Fujitsu Microelectronics Asia Pte Ltd (FMAL) and Jurong Technologies industrial Corporation (Jurong Technologies) are pleased to announce that Jurong Technologies, through its subsidiary I-Sirius Pte Ltd, has selected Fujitsu as its WiMAX baseband SoC partner. I-Sirius will use Fujitsu’s Mobile WiMAX baseband SoC, which is fully compliant with IEEE802.16e-2005 standard, to develop WiMAX products such as embedded modules, USB dongles and Express cards.
Both companies will also collaborate on strategic product positioning to enhance market penetration of these products. The companies will showcase the latest WiMAX products from their collaboration at the Fujitsu booth (C6-1, Hall 2) during the 2008 WiMAX Expo, Taipei in Taipei Show Hall 2 to be held from 2nd to 6th June 2008.
“We are pleased to enter into this landmark collaboration with Fujitsu, a global leader in WiMAX technologies, as we are very impressed with their open technical policy, comprehensive hardware and software documentation, and competitive reference design pricing,” said Mr Cheang Chee Ming, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jurong Technologies. “Through this co-operation, we are confident of providing flexible first-class WiMAX products based on Fujitsu's WiMAX SoC.”
“Jurong Technologies is a world class global EMS/ODM company offering modules of various wireless technologies for mobile communication, with a track record of shipping more than 100M modules to customers worldwide. Fujitsu Microelectronics is glad to form-up a strategic alliance with Jurong Technologies, we are confident in bringing a high performance and competitive WiMAX product into the market. They are an outstanding partner in leading-edge WiMAX solutions.” said Andy Chang, Marketing Director of Fujitsu Microelectronics Asia Pte Ltd.
Fujitsu WiMAX Baseband SoC solution is a IEEE802.16e-2005, WiMAX Forum Wave2 (MiMO) profile compliant which supports Beamforming, Matrix A and Matrix B. Fujitsu has already field-tested these features with real BS through air interface, and is ready for the Wave 2 certification. Fujitsu’s mobile WiMAX SoC delivers high throughput which is close to the theoretical maximum achievable with MiMO.
