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.

ELECTRONICA, Munich, November 13, 2008 – Intersil Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select: ISIL), a world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance analog semiconductors, and Elektronik Praxis, today announced the launching of Wikitronik™ the first German-language wiki specifically focusing on semiconductors. The wiki, which was developed jointly by the two companies, will be on display at both the Intersil and Elektronik Praxis booths at Electronica 2008.
Wikitronik™ will be available through the Elektronik Praxis website and at www.wikitronic.de Wikis are web pages or websites that allow internet users to supply and edit content.
“Elektronik Praxis is proud to provide this service to design engineers and students,” said Johann Wiesböck, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Elektronik Praxis. “The way people and engineers are sharing information is rapidly changing, and Praxis is not only facilitating this change, but will remain a vital link throughout this evolution.”
Wikitronik™ is only a part of Intersil’s plan to find new and creative ways of partnering with the global analog community, helping students and engineers solve their design problems.
“German-speaking analog engineers will now have a self-healing, continually improving forum to share information and ideas,” said David Loftus, Intersil’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing. “Although Intersil has sponsored and helped develop the initial content, from this point forward the content will be completely maintained by its users.”
